This just goes to show you the mistake NBC made by letting Medium go to CBS. Hell, a rerun on a saturday night wasn’t that far off from what new episodes of just about all of their dramas is able to pull for new episodes on weeknights.

Its just one of those shows that people can pick up on any episode and not be lost by not knowing what happened the previous week.

I wonder what the mood must be like behind the scenes at Parks & Rec right now? I’ll bet there’s some finger pointing going on. They have got to be stunned over how dismal their ratings are.

I mean NBC hyped this show like no other. It was supposed to save NBC’s entire Thursday night lineup. Remember all the hype during last year’s Super Bowl?

I still think Daniels made a gross mistake not doing a direct spin off of “The Office”. I think the cast of Parks would have been perfect for a branch of Dundler Mifflin. Fans of “The Office” were psyched for a spinoff show; Parks & Rec is not what they wanted.

What an odd scheduling for the NBC, why didn’t they air Parks and The Office back to back?

Jon, no viewer numbers or age demos yet, but from the USA Today:

Alabama’s blowout of Florida in the SEC title game Saturday drew an 11.8 overnight rating — translating to 11.8% of TV households in 56 urban TV markets — up 13% from the same teams playing in last year’s game. That’s the highest-ever SEC title game overnight ever, and the highest overnight for a non-bowl college game since Ohio State-Michigan in 2006.

Science101 is right: 0.3 is very low, even considering it’s a Saturday repeat on NBC.

P-Ow, I’d rate the likelihood of an ESPN press release with that game’s ratings tomorrow at high. Also, we sometimes get Saturday final cable numbers on Monday. Even if we don’t get them, we will definitely see the numbers on Tuesday. Barring yet another Nielsen delay, that is.

Out of curiosity, how does Tex/Neb in PT compare to Fla/Ala earlier in the day?

P&R’s comedic style may not be to everyone’s taste as can be shown by the ratings. However, It has become a darling of the critics and fans (including this one).

it is kind of perplexing as to why Parks and Rec does so poorly.. personally, i think it is the best comedy on TV, but i guess that opinion isn’t shared with too many other people

CK, because I just displayed the averaged for The Incredibles over the whole airing, you can’t really make good comparisons to those averages. Still, The Office improved of The Incredible’s last half hour (which was a 1.2 and 3.369 million viewers).

Parks and Recreation is so disgusting and awful it should be cancelled. Remember Shasta McNasty? Shasta McNasty was better than parks and recreatoins.

The Office did well…all things considered…repeat, different night and time, Saturday in a 10:30 timeslot. It actually picked up viewers after The Incredibles. Incredible!

Science101,

What would you have expected from a Parks and Rec repeat on Saturday up against the big 12 game that all young men were watching?
