1 million less than Sunday night, but still, impressive numbers for the NBA Playoffs.
I was expecting higher for PLL. It’s still a good rating but compared to Season 2′s premiere, it’s down by quite a bit.
I wonder what Jane By Design got.
The Glee Project must’ve done really bad, it’s not even in the list
Does someone have the ratings for The Glee Project ?
Do you have ratings for the series premiere of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island?
@DamC,
They were awful last year too. The show never picked up steam until the end of the season.
Dance Moms came back in full force. Love it!
Damn @ Jane By Design not even being listed.
RHOC was really good last night. They filmed the reunion yesterday and I heard there is a lot of drama. Also love Dance moms and glad it did well, I had to catch the 10 repeat to watch RHOC.
I wonder about Jane by Design? And if anybody gets Kendra on Top that premiered on WEtv I would love to see.
I got the total number of viewers right for PLL, but I thought the demo would at least be a 1.3
Wow, I figured Pretty Little Liars would be much higher. The finale back in March had 3.6 million viewers. 2.9 is still very good, but definitely down quite a bit from the January premiere and finale in March.
Jane by Design numbers plz.
Would love the numbers for Jane By Design as well
If the Celtics do finish the Heat off, the NBA finals ratings will for sure be lower than last year. The Heat vs Thunder would be epic WITH Lebron vs Durant, too bad
Pretty good numbers for “Pretty Little Liars” – easily ABC Family’s #1 show still. The CW would KILL for those numbers…
Last year’s finals between the Heat/Mavs averaged about 17 million per game. Celtics/Thunder would be around 15 mil
Pretty Little Liars did well. However, I predicted higher ratings, since there’s absolutely NO competition whatsoever on TV right now.
@Tommy the CW actually got higher numbers for TVD at times, I don’t think neither network is doing well or better than the other.
PLL’s episode was one of the most boring yet. Hopefully those that managed to watch the whole thing through would remain next week too and it won’t go down by much next week..
PLL’s season 2 finale did so well in ratings because it was promoted so well with A being revealed. I don’t even watch PLL but I watched that episode just because I was curious. I’m sure many of the viewers were the same way.
That’s it for Pretty Little Liars? I know the finale wasn’t that great but I figured it would at least do the same as that for the premiere.
Let’s not forget that the Thunder have to win tonight
