-Ratings Breakdown:
Fox led this third Thursday in April with its line-up of "American Idol" and "Glee." But competing CBS aired all repeats, as did ABC from 9-11 p.m. The networks, of course, try to save as much original programming as they can for the May sweeps.
The live "American Idol" Results Show took top-rated honors for the evening, with an 8.5 rating/14 share in the overnights from 8-9 p.m. And while any network would be happy to have a performance of this magnitude, year-to-year the fading singing competition slipped by 21 percent (versus a 10.7/18 on 4/19/12).
Next on Fox was "Glee," which dropped to a distant in the 9 p.m. with a 4.4/ 7. Comparably, retention for "Glee" out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of "American Idol" (9.0/15) was only 49 percent.
CBS, which had considered airing a two-hour Thursday 8-10 p.m. sitcom block this season, tested the waters last night with encores of "The Big Bang Theory" (#2: 7.3/12), "Two and a Half Men" (#2: 5.8/ 9), another episode of "The Big Bang Theory" (#1: 6.7/11) and "2 Broke Girls" (#1: 4.9/ 6). Given the success of current 9 p.m. occupant "Person of Interest" and the fading results for the comedy block on Monday, the potential plan at present seems like a long shot.
A 10 p.m. encore airing of "Person of Interest" closed the night for the Eye net with a dominant 5.6/10, which was 115 percent above both week three of drama "Hannibal" on NBC and a repeat of "Scandal" on ABC (2.6/ 5 each). Comparably, "Hannibal" slipped by 16 percent from its prior two airings (three week overnight track: 3.1/ 5 - 3.1/ 5 - 2.6/ 5). But this was still 18 percent above both a 9:30 p.m. airing of lead-in "Parks and Recreation" (2.2/ 4) and failed year-ago occupant "Awake."
Earlier in the evening on NBC were sluggish "Community" (#4: 2.1/ 4 at 8 p.m.), which should be facing the axe at this point, an 8:30 p.m. repeat of soon-to-conclude "The Office" (#5: 1.5/ 2), and a 9 p.m. telecast of "Parks and Recreation" (#4: 2.2/ 4). Since you cannot cancel everything, there is every reason to believe that "Parks and Recreation" will return next season.
Over at ABC, short-flight returnee "Wife Swap" finished in the distant No. 3 spot at 8 p.m., with a 3.3/ 5, followed by encores of "Grey's Anatomy" (#3: 2.9/ 5) and aforementioned "Scandal" (#2t, 2.6/ 5) from 9-11 p.m. And The CW capped off the night with "The Vampire Diaries" (#4t, 1.8/ 3), which could become the parent to a spin-off series tentatively titled "The Originals" next season, and freshman "Beauty and the Beast" (#5: 1.2/ 2). Of the four current on-the-fence CW series (including "The Carrie Diaries," "Hart of Dixie" and "Nikita"), "Beauty and the Beast" is the least likely to return.

Those worrying about Hannibal should wait until the A18-49 demo which Marc Berman never posts.
ReplyDeleteyeah...and we also have to wait and see what happens when Scandal and Elementary are back. Im a bit worried :( It's so good.
ReplyDeleteStill better rated than most of NBC's attempts at airing a new show in this timeslot on Thursdays!
ReplyDeleteGo TVD! :D :P
ReplyDeleteI disagree, Of all the on-the-fence shows of the CW i think The Carrie Diaries is the least likely to return. I loved the Carrie Dairies but comparing their ratings BatB is the stronger of the two. I would like both of them to comeback since I am a fan of both
ReplyDeleteI don't even like BatB but even I know that if either of the freshman shows come back it's BatB. I think Marc Just says this stuff to get a reaction. He probably feels like as long as they are talking that's good.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Marc is just being biased.
ReplyDeleteBATB least likely to return ????...really ???...you have got to be kiddind me right ????
ReplyDeleteLet's hope B&TB doesn't adjust down, but I'm afraid, it will be that way, because I doubt TVD has less than a million in 18-49... :(
ReplyDeletewhat happened? TVD only 0.9? this is the pilot of the orginal right? doesn't look promising
ReplyDeleteNo. I think that is next week.
ReplyDeleteSeries low for the Vampire Diaries?
ReplyDeleteYep currently. We'll have to wait to see if their are any adjustments in the final ratings.
ReplyDeletePrevious ratings can be see here

To the Mods of this site please only upload the ratings and not what this Marc guy has to say. It's clear no one cares about his views, in fact it's offensive to some.
ReplyDeleteDamn those numbers for Hannibal have me worried. This was up against reruns, what's gonna happen next week when Elementary and Scandal come back?
ReplyDeletebeauty and the beast, no that's a lit, please, this show its amazing, to have such low ratings. you guys are fixing this :(
ReplyDeleteBATB We need to go hard, next Thursday :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously??? BATB least likely to return???? it's a joke right??????????
ReplyDeleteYeah, it´s next week.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading marcs early comments. The BATB fans will likely only be offended by his comments for 1 more month.
ReplyDeleteHe's wrong.The Carrie Diaries Is least likely to return.We may be getting a Nikita/BATB combo on friday
ReplyDeleteNext season.
Just don't read them if you don't want to read them.
ReplyDeleteNo one forces you to read them. Just wait and read the table
It is really sad to see how Bryan Fuller shows are never appreciated. To be honest Mockingbird Lane premiered with bigger ratings than Hannibal and ML was on a Friday and it even helped Grimm's ratings giving it a big push. I don't understand how it wasn't picked up when it was obviously a good fit on Friday's with Grimm despite the huge production cost. I'm not trying to put Hannibal down because I am liking where it is going though I thought the succeeding episodes were much more polished compared to the Pilot. I just feel like NBC is the wrong place for Bryan Fuller's work and what not. I wish Hannibal survives because I love to have any BF show on air but at the rate it's going plus with Elementary and Scandal airing new eps next week, it looks well grimm
ReplyDeleteSpot on. I know how were aren't suppose to care about what Marc says but it is just so ridiculous sometimes. He even failed to mention that BatB rose this week. Oh well at the end of the day it is the ratings that speak for the show and not his comments
ReplyDeleteNext week people will turn in but later they will be "overvampt" too much if the air both.Like 2 hour TVD.
ReplyDeleteI was requesting politely, you don't need to be rude.
ReplyDeleteI never read them, yet others do and when i scroll down to see the other comments it's bound that i will eventually find out what that guy said about BatB. Now ask me not to scroll down and read the comments too cuz no one forces me to.
This is a site for fans right? No room here to be biased so why post a Biased person's views.
It's not just the BatB fans even the none BatB fans are not liking it.
ReplyDeleteI think you hit the nail on the head with Mockingbird Lane: "huge production cost."
ReplyDeleteI am liking Hannibal, I don't know if they can maintain it though. The ratings haven't dropped that much even though they started out low. I think giving it a renewal and making the first half season episodes available in many formats might get more people on board for a second season. Midseason shows are so fragile, it is hard to invest in them, as viewers we just aren't ready for the distribution model. It is hard to invest as a viewer when it doesn't seem like the network is that invested in a show.
Community's and Parks & Rec's numbers were up! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWAS ADJUSTED up 1.0
ReplyDeleteEveryone is biased. Everyone. By definition, fans are more biased than everyone else. This being a site for fans, you should expect to see lots of bias here in all directions.
ReplyDeleteUnbiased articles are few and far between. They tend to be boring articles filled with dry facts, couched in the most nondescript terms. Few people actually want to read unbiased articles all the time.
You want to censor people's comments simply because you don't agree with them. DarkUFO gave the correct response to such a close-minded point of view.
You're clearly mistaken my friend. Or you didn't even read my comment closely.Or did you ever read it at all? I never asked to remove a comment of a fan because he/she doesn't agree with my point of view. I asked if they could not post a Review of a person (writer whatever) who's being biased about a show. Because clearly he doesn't like it so he would every single week go on and say that BATB is for sure getting the axe. Mind you, if you are writing for a website then you should write what's the truth not what you want to. Then you should rather have your own blog and rant the show as much as you want, then no one would complain.
ReplyDeleteNext time think twice before you go and call someone's point of view a close minded one.
Reviews are filled with opinions, that is the entire point of a review. I repeat what I said above. You obviously only want to censor his opinions because you disagree with them. If you don't like his opinions, don't read them. Your desire to prevent the rest of us from reading his reviews makes you a close-minded book burner.
ReplyDeleteOpinions yes! Biased opinions week and week out, I don't think so!
ReplyDeleteYou can repeat all you want, the truth is what it is. Not just me and not only the BatB fans but other general readers (unlike you) doesn't really like this guy's reviews. Last time i checked ratings mattered not some immature guy's reviews.
I have no such desire for someone like you (prevent you from reading someones reviews) who clearly doesn't even know the meaning of words that are coming out of his mouth.
As for other readers, you don't speak for them!!
Heh, you don't speak for them either.
ReplyDeleteActually i do for my fandom!
ReplyDeleteLOL and what fandom might you belong to?
ReplyDeleteMark Berman fandom.
ReplyDeleteI'm not particular fan of Berman. Certainly nothing compared to how you seem to feel about BatB. Though I certainly appreciate the effort he puts into his daily reports.
ReplyDeleteWhatever.....BatB got renewed so i hope he can shut up now.
ReplyDeleteGrats on that, certainly good news for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks it is.
ReplyDeleteAs I speak for my fandom.
ReplyDeleteAt least 4 people agree with you. At least 6 people agree with me. There is a good chance that I speak for more people than you do.
Ahhh now i know why you were so pissed.
ReplyDelete
