Great for revenge. I find Survivor One world to be boring. I still watch it how many seasons could Survivor last?
@ Janice Thanks for the info. very interesting ! And SVU has Rock Center With Brian Williams 0.7 rating as a lead in. And Smash has The Voice one the highest rated show on TV as its lead in. What does NBC do now?
” 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)!
“
When there’s like 2 weeks of the season left, NOW they pull Rock Center?
@ Janice I completely agree. I wish you were in charge at 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.
“
I had a feeling Apt. 23′s numbers were spiked up hard in the overnights. That show needs to e canned.
Whitney is actually doing better in the demo than Off Their Rockers but down in viewership.
Theres no way antm got 1.60 mil with just a 0.4, could that possibly be a 1.06??
@ Revenge
I could see Survivor lasting about five to eight more years (34-40 seasons).
By the way, your show is also a good show.
TOP MODEL numbers are definitely incorrect.
Revenge maintains 7 million+ all season and gains 2 million from it’s lead-ins that would lose 5 million from the #1 show on television Modern Family.
On a related note, is this the closes ModFam has ever been to Idol?
Despite the 6 million gap, only 0.1 in 18-49.
Family Vs Idol is like Glee Vs. NCIS in 2009-2011.
I am hoping that CBS will give Survivor 26 (rumored to be an all-star season) the post-Super Bowl slot this year.
@Roswell, you are correct, it’s a typo, but I am unable to change the table right now.
The number should be 1.06.
Come on, SCANDAL- You now know the numbers the beat. A 2.3 sounds wonderful so go get it.
@Bill
Yeah, Rock Center with Brian Williams has been removed from the NBC schedule… too damn late might I add. Too much damage has been done to NBC Wednesday 9PM/8c, hopefully in 2012-13 a good comedy (or hopefully the Parenthood/Smash duo) will repair that.
The way Burn Notice repaired the Thursday 10PM/9c slot in Fall/Winter 2011 after [the horrid] Suits 1st season finale on USA Network.
@Survivor Fan.
I really hope so. Hope Jeffs talk show doesn’t get in the way of Survivor.
Too bad The Middle was not adjusted up, hope it rebounds next week
MF almost tied American Idol! TBBT has a chance to beat American Idol this week
Apt 23 prelim = 7.118m viewers, final chart says 5.690m viewers. Are those numbers correct?
@forg
TBBT has always beaten American Idol in head-to-head competition this season.
Glad Revenge went up from last two weeks’ lows and never dipped below 7 million viewers. It will likely be in the 2.8-3.0 range in the fall. Apartment 23 needs to move.
And really, NBC? Now you pull Rock Center? What. A. Joke. 4th place totally deserved!
The Middle and Revenge,ABC is great Wednesday TV.
Survivor is really good this season and now it is a showdown 5 women all good competitors!
Dang I was really hoping for ModFam to at least tie Idol in 18-49 like BBT. Close enough!
