Jimmy Kimmel ajusted down a full rating points
SVU on USA beat TGW!!!
Once again, a procedural in the “death slot” spikes up from TGW. CBS should seriously consider flipping TM and TGW.
Interesting that Blue Bloods outdrew The Good Wife. Maybe CBS should consider swapping days for both shows in the fall.
Lmao@ golf demo
Basketbbal only watch by 6 million more people than GOLF! Embarrassing! Basketball is way better
Game 4 tonight is critical to NBA’s final series ratings. The Thunder have to win to at least make it a 6 game series. A 5 game series will only end up averaging only 16-17 mil while a game 6 will put it over 18
@Disney basketball is certainly a much better but golf does have a lot of old fans don’t forget that. See the demo will tell you that

Jimmy Kimmel ajusted down a full rating point
Because at 7PM on West Coast 2nd half of NBA game was airing. In preliminary ratings those viewers were counted as Jimmy’s. Well, they aren’t.
