What a showing by Hatfields. I am shocked by these numbers.
Not bad for Melissa and Joey. Those are around the numbers Season 1 was pulling.
WTF, somebody finally beats the NBA playoffs?
whadda you know melissa and joey beat secret life this week, good for them
Amazing game last night. Shame Rondo didn’t get the win to cap off one of the greatest performances (playing every single minute, even in OT) in NBA history. I feel the Spurs will buck their trend and the NBA finals will beat last years record on ABC, with the Spurs and Heat (Unless OKC and the Celtics pull off miracles).
I did not even know Melissa and Joey came back. I guess I will watch that and H&M over the weekend.
Where is Hot in Cleveland???
Depending on the final ratings, the NBA Draft Lottery might beat out the NHL Finals on broadcast.
The Hatfields ratings are insane, especially when you consider it’s on basic cable and not regular TV.
What did “Rags” on Nickelodeon at 6:00PM get??
@Rabbit Good point. Let’s face it. The only ice people in LA know is the one that they find in their freezer lol.
NHL should stop this charade and bring the Cayotes, Stars, Ducks back to Canada. The Jets sold out last year, and they will this year too.
The Kings might be able to get a short term bump, but LA kids live on the beach, they don’t skate that much
Torrid is gonna have a field day with these numbers
how many viewers did the baseball game on espn have lastnight?
“Where is Hot in Cleveland???” – the same place as Happily Divorced I imagin…
Go Melissa and Joey!!!
Melissa And Joey got the same demo as The Secret Life did on Monday and not far off it in viewers. Hope it doesn’t have the usual 2nd week drop after it comes back.
And regarding their new comedy premiering in a few weeks, if it is testing so well, shouldn’t they put that before Melissa And Joey instead of other way round so M&J can get a good lead in and if other show is tested well then it will be good.
Also, does anyone else think they are trying to get M&J to syndication numbers.
Even if they cut the order to 15 episodes from what i origninally heard was 20 a while back.
Part 3 of Hatfields & McCoys had a better 18-49 rating than any scripted hour or half-hour on NBC all season. It also tied season high of any Fox scripted hourlong.
Can we expect more Westerns in development on every broadcast and cable networks due to the success of Hatfields? I know CBS and NBC were developing Westerns.
Wow, look at those numbers for the Heat/Celtics game 2.The NBA and ESPN/ABC must be dancing wildly about these ratings.
Big Wow on Hatfields & McCoys !
Oh no for Hot in Cleveland and Happily Divorced! Luckily Hot in Cleveland has been renewed for a fourth season, but Happily Divorced hasn’t! Proabably OK though, because TV Land picked up Happily Divorced for 12 more episodes this season, to a 24 episode second season.
Those are solid numbers for M&J for such a long hiatus. We will see if it can hold steady. Love the show.
Hot in Cleveland and Happily Divorced should be up with less competition, but oh well. Most looking forward to the return of The Exes. A lot of people are sleeping on this show, but I think it’s one of TV land strongest shows.
