I’m glad that Revenge and the Bitch didn’t drop at all
Don’t Trust the B was not adjusted like what post-Modern Family shows usually experience. Very glad Suburgatory was just down a notch without a new Middle lead in definitely a keeper. Also glad MF is still in the 4s and Revenge held up fine
I mean Why Is Rock Center still on? NBC must have something that could do better.
As bad as HL did at least it got a 1.2 in that slot.
HA! @Best Friends forever
Revenge was adjusted up like 200k viewers I think.
Good to see SVU up to 1.6 key demo and 5.9million.
I am so sorry a have major problem with my internet(network) but my question to Bill words:
Bill Gorman said:
Because studios lose money on the production of pretty much every scripted broadcast primetime episode and hope to make it back in syndication.
More episodes = more losses!
@Bill Gorman
Are you sure about that? I mean more ep more money from syndication, right? If you have 20 more ep with 2million per ep in syndication? I mean is there any difference at least between hits and other shows? For example CBS order one more ep for PoI total 23 ep, until other new CBS shows are with 22! ALL CBS hit dramas are with 23 ep! One more ep! So i guess hits make more money from AD and TV pay more to CBS studio WB etc! Thats my logic!
And is shows budjet depends from their ratings! And if so from previous or current season ratings? And how exactly – is every tenth more money or there have some levels 2.5 for example or 3 or 3.5 pr bigger thab 4 and so on!
I am sorry onceagain! thanks Bill!
Well, at least the CW is seeing growth this week.
Gossip Girl: 0.6
Hart Of Dixie: 0.6
ANTM: 0.6
All up a tenth from previous episodes.
Fantastic SVU episode last night and an 1.6 is just sad. Meloni fans still boycotting the show?
@Nick
Off Their Rockers: Another case of viewer/demo ratio (a la Harry’s Law)
The percentage of viewers in the demo for Off Their Rockers is almost the same as SVU, Survivor and American Idol (~35%); Harry’s Law is half of that.
The CW is doing fairly well this week. Ringer was up in it’s finale Tuesday to a 0.5 as well.
@Michael
The 90210 repeat (0.4) and the finale of Ringer (0.5) was also up vs. last week.
Is Revenge less horribly boring than it was before hiatus? I had to stop around episode 8, I think it was, because of how dull it was.
At least Revenge was stable.
Is there a reason that Survivor has been adjusted up 8 of 10 times this season? What causes the same shows to always be adjusted?
Good for Apt 23
IMHO
Maybe NBC should try airing the NHL playoffs … could it be any worse than what they’re doing now?
YMMV
Help save Endgame and watch season 1 on Hulu
Wow Revenge was adjusted up for the total viewers!
Revenge skewed a little older. That’s its most watched episode since January 5 yet 2nd lowest demo only to the Thanksgiving Eve episode.
