   WTF?!?!? I didn’t know that Melissa and Joey returned last night!!! If ABC Family spent half as much promoting it as they do PLL, I would have known!! I see ads for PLL EVERYWHERE…other networks, sides of buses, magazine spreads but I don’t see Melissa and Joey ads AT ALL!!!

   Update: One or more commenters asked about Hot In Cleveland which at 10pm drew a 0.2 adults 18-49 rating and 1.194 million viewers, and Happily Divorced at 10:30pm had a 0.2 rating and 986,000 viewers.

   NOOOOOO! Hot in Cleveland didn’t make the list.
   Good for Hatfields and McCoys, though.

   @ Bill
   I am pretty sure that TV Land showed Happily Divorced, not Hot in Cleveland, at 10:30.

   The picture kind of scared me a bit.

   @TatiG: “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.”

   Back to Canada? The Ducks have never been anywhere other than Anaheim and the Stars started in Minnesota which, last I checked, is still part of the US.

   I don’t disagree on there being too many warm-weather US teams, though.

   Very solid numbers for M&J…but I do agree with people when they say the show lacks promotion from ABC FAMILY..

   10.00 Hot In Cleveland 1.194.000 – 274.000 in 18-49
   10.30 Happily Divorced 986.000 – 207.000 in 18-49

   Hopefully TV Land realizes a week of HIC & HD reruns is not a good thing for their first run ratings, people seem to think the season ended then with a rerun week, and forget to watch when it’s all new 2 weeks later.

    Happy for Melissa & Joey! I was hoping for a .9-1.0 but I think this is higher than its finale last year. Especially with the ABC Family line up down (Secret Life). Hope it doesn’t drop off too much

    “@ Bill

    You are correct, bad writing on my part. Now fixed.

    TVLand has aired Hot in Cleveland without much of a set schedule. I stopped watching about six months back because I never knew it was on. Oh well.

    those local market numbers for the hockey are hilarious. matty ice needs to snap out of it and realize that the nhl is nothing more than a niche sport here in the states.

    torrid, are you on twitter?

    @A ,that’s 247.000 for HIC and 207.000 viewers for HD who are between the age of 18-49 , this is not the total viewers for the show.
    Those where , as mentiond, 1.194.000 for HIC and 986.000 for HD.
