Glad to see PLL up a tenth. Was worried since Secret Life & Bunheads did awful yesterday. It seems down in viewers though but who cares.
Thats a big audience bleed for Franklin & Bash after Rizzoli & Isles though in the demo, it’s not as bad. I wonder how the show is doing in 25-54 demo since thats what TnT usually targets. Like I have said before, both shows are very incompatible.
Bad for Franklin & Bash. Southland (a much better show) had the same ratings but it was in winter against stronger competition.
Was that a repeat for Tosh.O? I haven’t been paying too much attention to its ratings this season but they look to be way down from one or two years ago.
Interesting to see Teen Mom so low. Must be Direct TV. Good for PLL going up but oh my at White Collar. USA is really falling hard with all of their originals. Must be making Fairly Legal and Common Law look better for renewal. Also Design Star at almost 2 million viewers is a season high i believe if not a series high.
Yes, Since TNT looks at 25-54 demo I wonder what F&B was in that demo? Also wonder what R&I’s 25-54 demo was? R&I skews old but it is still getting 1.1 and 1.2′s in 18-49 so I guess that is not bad for the scripted series on cable. It got them another season. I am worried about F&B though it maybe done.
WOW TEEN MOM IS LOW
Not sure if Tosh was a repeat last night, but Viacom channels have been hit by being pulled off DirecTV including Comedy Central & MTV.
Not good for WC/USA. Stronger shows like R&I is hurting it. Even worst for CA!
I don’t get the appeal of R&I but maybe it’s a better written show or people have washed their hands of WC due to writing and Bomer coming out. Do women still see Bomer as leading man material now he’s out of the closet? Just wondering… It could be hurting him in the long haul career-wise anyway.
Tosh was hurt probably by dish
@Lane, probably not since the Viacom dispute is with DirecTV (AMC Networks are the ones not on Dish).
Daily Show/Colbert are taking a hit due to DirecTV.
TBBT beat CBS last night. Not the first time I think.
I’m just glad Covert Affairs is steady and White Collar is not too far ahead so I guess CA is safe.
Way to go, PLL! Back up in the demo! Down in viewers but that doesn’t matter.
WC’s writing was horrid last season except for the finale. Looks like a lot of people just dumped it. It always did better in the summer than in the fall.
PLL was superb last night. The “Liars” are getting more assertive and aggressive. I believe that the writing is better than ever this season.
Did anyone see the briefest of promo for the new season of “Switched at Birth?”
Here’s what TNT should do next summer-
Sunday-
9-Falling Skies
10- The Last Ship
Monday-
9- Major Crimes
10- L.A Noir
Tuesday-
9- Rizzoli & Isles
10- Monday Mornings/Perception
Wednesday-
9- Dallas
10- New soap opera type show/Monday Mornings
Friday-
9- Leverage
10- Franklin and Bash
Perception on Friday possibly
What’s with ppl bemoaning White Collar’s ratings. It did exactly as it did last week and it wasn’t even the premier. No one called it a failure last week? What, did the standard suddenly go up over the week?
@KarenM: Do women still see Bomer as leading man material now he’s out of the closet? Just wondering… It could be hurting him in the long haul career-wise anyway.
That’s one of the silliest things I’ve heard. Did it hurt Neal Patric Harris or HIMYM that he is openly gay and playing a ladies man on that show? As far as I’m seeing women are still giddy over him, and Tim DeKay too. All the talks of last night’s episode revolve around how hot these two were individually and with each other.
Weird how last summer Cover Aggairs was doing better than White Collar and now it’s the other way around
Franklin & Bash has fallen
F&B has less than half the viewers of R&I and is .4 below R&I in the demo. Just sayin’.
Is the 1.1 and 1.2 demo for R&I second only to Falling Skies? I watch a lot of TNT shows and it seems all others are getting 1.0 or less now. Iam of course excluding the premiers.
@robert lol my bad
