Glad Revenge got adjusted up in total viewers.
Poor Brian Williams.
Is that total viewers number for ANTM at 9pm correct??. seems unusually high.
Is ANTM total viewers correct?
why is Rock Center With Brian Williams still on NBC ?
I predict that NBC will cancel it.
TM wasn’t adjusted up and Suburgatory wasn’t adjusted down like some posters said.
Go MF!
Go SVU! Yeah, good picture!
Everyone should check out Survivor: One World.
So far Kim is the second best player in the history of Survivor.
Only Boston Rob is better.
@ Jenny,
Actually, Rock Center got a 1.0 last week and a 0.9 the week before.
As this is NBC, it could be worse *cough*Harry’s Law*cough*
WTF DID JUST HAPPEN?
Apt23. passe from 7,1 viewers to 5,6 ??
Good for MF, since it was a great episode!
Too bad The Middle wasn’t adjusted up, but really good for Suburgatory!
Revenge past 7 million again!
Yikes at Off the rockers! Doesn’t really matter since anything with more than 1.0 is good on NBC…
@ Jenny
I will share your endorsement for Survivor: One World. Watch the finale! It is a great season, although it will be appaling if Kim does not win.
At least Revenge stayed at a 2.2 and went continued to stay above 7 million viewers!
@Dilou004
That was a typo in the last article that wasn’t fixed.
SVU Wed. May 9 – 1.8/5% (18-49 demo) 5.90 (total viewers)
Smash Mon. May 7 – 1.8/5% (18-49 demo) 5.72 (total viewers)
SVU BEAT Smash in total viewers by a small margin, but beat Smash more or less; probably would have done better w/o Rock Center leading.
Smash crashed hard from it’s premiere, and it’s STILL on the decline. SVU does between 1.6-1.9 weekly (since Rock Center has lead it), which is pretty good really (for NBC)!
Wow, I forgot that Rock Center still exists. Who actually watches that?
Again, Off Their Rockers at 8:30 is doing a lot better than the show it replaced. And the 8 p.m. numbers aren’t even terrible for NBC.
I think NBC should change up their 10PM’s.
Monday: New Drama (lead by The Voice)
Tuesday: Law & Order: SVU (lead by The Biggest Loser)
Wednesday: Smash (lead by Parenthood)
Thursday: New Drama (lead by The Office)
Friday: Grimm (lead by Dateline)
Saturday: SVU repeat (lead by Grimm or Smash repeat)
Sunday: New Drama.
There is more room for BETTER comedies this way, I wish Whitney and Up All Night were getting canceled. Bent, Chelsea certainly need to go with Harry’s Law & Rock Center. I wish Smash was getting canceled, it’s nothing to me really, especially since I’m between H5-0 & Castle on Monday’s anyway.
Nice to see Criminal Minds adjusted up, that is rare.
According to the Futon Critic, NBC has pulled (canceled) Rock Center.
