The writing is just soooo bad on Hank. The cast is decent but they have nothing to work with…..I think Modern Family is a little overrated. I think it will come back to reality after a few weeks….The Middle is very well written and acted. I think it’s the only one that will last long term…..I’m not sure where Couger Town is going to go. Courtney Cox getting back in the dating world will run out of story lines quickly.

I’m in Hank’s key demo, and I hate it. Heck I watch Modern Family and that show targets both genders equally.

However I am surprised that men are watching Cougar Town, I thought it would have no male viewers.

“good tea leaves” for Hank? No chance. It’s just making lemonade from lemons.

Tiny increases on a “cancel me” ratings level are still a “cancel me” ratings level.

Even among men, where Hank was “strong”, it was beaten by SYTYCD (badly among young men) and Old Christine. It beat only Mercy and ANTM among male demos we see.

I didn’t see the “celebration of ‘Hank’” coming!

via ABC press release: “Hank” Sees Week-to-Week Increases in Adults 18-34 and Key Men — At 8:00 p.m., ABC’s freshman comedy “Hank” saw week-to-week increases of 10% among Adults 18-34 (1.1/4 vs. 1.0/3), 8% in Men 18-49 (1.4/4 vs. 1.3/4) and 6% Men 25-54 (1.8/5 vs. 1.7/5).
?“Hank” is seeing increases over its first-reported numbers through DVR playback, picking up half-a-million viewers and an additional 2-tenths of an Adult 18-49 rating point from the initially reported Live + Same Day Numbers to the Live + 7 Day DVR finals.

Nor did I Robert, but this is very good tea leaves for ‘Hank’.

Given the ABC spin focus the past few weeks on Hank’s positive M18-49 numbers, I’m wondering if the Alphabet is contemplating a down-the-road skedding of ‘Hank’ alongside ‘Scrubs’ and ‘Better Off Ted’, both of which also get relatively strong M18-49 numbers.

Possibly the lead-in for replacing both “Hank” and “Eastwick”?
