   The Client List was probably affected by Desperate Housewives finale. Will catch it during the week.

   Basically, every scripted series currently showing on pay cable that isn’t Game of Thrones is a flop.

   Yikes. Another terrible week for Nick (except Korra, yay). If Saturday’s big Victorious special doesn’t do great, then yeah.

   Also, interesting that the 8 PM Good Luck Charlie had over 20% more than the 7:30 airing. I hear it’s permanently moving to 7:30 PM while Austin and Ally is on. Let’s see how well that keeps up.

   @Nick: Allow me to ask, where do you get this info from? Do you work for Nielsen or something?

   Nice to see Young Justice doing well!

   Can’t say I’m surprised there are only a few good shows on air and Game of Thrones is one of those… I am still hoping we will break the 4mil barrier by season finale!

   Boardwalk Empire is a success, too

   The Killing rebounds after last week’s low, eh?

    Posted May 15, 2012 at 7:39 AM

    Army Wives took a hit from Desperate Housewives. It will be back up next week.

11. Chris

    Posted May 15, 2012 at 7:40 AM

    Boardwalk Empire is a reasonable success, but it’s not currently showing, is it now?

    Nice ratings for GoTs. I was so glad to see a character come back after not seeing them for a while.

    I’m glad The Killing is up.

    Real Housewives of NJ is very stable at a high level. Ax Men too.

    Legend of Korra is doing great. How many episodes is there in season 1?

    Nice rebound for the Killing!!! Hope it will suffice for renewal…new season is pretty good!

    No, not really. Game of Thrones just performs exceedingly well.

    Nick, do you have the ratings for Loiter Squad and Metalocalyspe on Adult Swim?

17. Mon

    Posted May 15, 2012 at 7:48 AM

    The Killing up by 0.2 to 0.5! Great show!

18. Simon

    Posted May 15, 2012 at 7:50 AM

    The Killing!!! Nice jump, what that three tenths or two tenths up?

19. DW

    if ratings = greatness then wrestling is one of the greatest shows ever. i think anything above a 0.3 in cable is pretty impressive since there are so many channels to choose from.

    @Nick
    Thanks so much as always for your fantastic info!

    Would you tell me which are FOOD’s highest rated Sat. AM shows?

    Also, I believe Sunday’s numbers for Food Network Star’s opener were the lowest or one of the lowest ever, right? I believe the format change, plus the fact that they decided to premiere it in the middle of May instead of June as they were doing, helped for the show to hit bottom. There’s lots of network TV finales, sports playoffs and increased cable competition in May.

    Thanks again, Nick! I appreciate your contributions a lot!
