OH WOW. Did Hot In Cleveland NOT even make the list this week? :0
Good numbers for Ghost Hunters, good that this shows problems in the real world didn’t affect the cast/crew. As in that lawsuit that someone filed ages back over the name, and doesn’t seem to want to give up on, despite failing at every attempt.
Total Blackout is a great show! Good to see it hold onto all of Ghost Hunters demo.
What did Hot in Cleveland get?????
Great hockey game and glad to see that it did well last night.
WOW, the Games yesterday were crappy. I mean UTAH v. SAN ANTONIO, LA CLIPPERS v. MEMPHIS.
Still the NBA took the night?
I know that we’re talking semi-finals versus quarterfinals (and a marquee matchup of NY-DC vs ORL-IND), but still surprising to see the NHL top the NBA
Surprising how little support the NBA gets, viewer-wise — it certainly gets a great deal of press.
Surprised not to see Happily Divorced.
Americas best dance crew please!!!!!!!
SOLD! on History got moved to 11pm. I think American Idol was sucking in all the viewers!
OMG!!! Where is Americas Best Dance Crew? Ever since ABDC been on Wednesdays, its been having suckish viewers. If TBBT had a syndicated low of 1.9 total viewers at 10:00, I wouldnt doubt if ABDC dropped below 1 million viewers.
Wow @ NHL beating NBA at 7pm. Of course, semi-finals versus quarterfinals but still.
History and Discovery seem pretty low.
I’m so impressed by Family Guy and The Big Bang Theory. How many times can people watch the same episodes over and over again?
How did Auction Kings get a second season? The 10pm airing didn’t even show? Out of place on Discovery and is a poor man’s Pawn Stars. Bad numbers. There’s an oversaturation of those types of shows.
I love Storage Wars, but am surprised it repeats so well over and over.
TV Land has ordered an extension of this season of Happily Divorced. The numbers for both of their sitcoms are terrible. They certainly are gracious letting these shows continue.
Not to continue this broken record, but America’s Best Dance Crew has been consistently fluctuating between the 5th-25th range on this list, since the premiere. How did it just drop SO dramatically to not even make the list this week?
Is this error, or did the show just tank this week?
TV Land shows go up and down so much…..wonder why?
Zoinks, should be interesting to see Torrid’s excuse for why the NHL beat out the NBA head-to-head, especially considering NBCSN is available to 80% of the market that TNT/ESPN are available to.
10.00 Hot In Cleveland 1.116.000 , 216.000 adults 18-49
10.30 Happily Divorced 840.000 , 217.000 adults 18-49
@Chris , keep in mind that TV Land is a small cable station and reruns Hot In Cleveland and Happily Divorced several times in the week afther their premiere, so for them it’s more important how the reruns hold up and don’t make their network average crash.
Look at last weeks numbers when at 01-02am both shows scored over 800.000 viewers for a repeat of the episodes that premiered a few hours before.
Op top of several reruns they also add 100.000′s of time shifted viewers, so all in all for a small cable station they aint doin that badly.
Btw Hot In Cleveland needs to continue production since it’s already sold season 1-4 in syndication to broadcast stations.
I am surprised the NBA was even that high last night. The only team worth watching were the Spurs. Tonight the Heat and Knicks play and Mavs vs OKC, so those should rate A LOT higher.
Good job on the NHL though and maybe NBC will do more of their games on the main network so more people can see them. I hate when games are out of reach of their fans, like NBA TV and NFL Network for good games that the fans can’t see. But, it is a business after all…
