I think for F&B that .4 is big. I understand the total viewer number does not count but I have to think that slipping below the 1.0 to a .7 is not good. So what if R&I has a lot of total viewers that are older as long as they have a decent 18-49 or TNT’s 25-54 demo rating I am sure TNT will take that any day.
Is Franklin & Bash considered a hit series when it loses more than half of its lead in audience?…isnt it the lowest rated show on TNT this summer?..
The pic is from the Texas spin-off… That’s like using an L&O:SVU pic for L&O:CI – just plain wrong!
@ disney rocks
Your forgetting that TNT also programs for 8pm as well.
Wow, White Collar has 3 mil. less viewers but just 0.1 demo points less than Rizzoli & Isles. So, so much younger skewing and thus more desirable for advertisers. I know that TNT’s target is A25-54, still. R&I is skewing terribly, terribly old compared to WhiCo.
Family guy is a monster. This show will never end. They are making so much money for themselves, fox, tbs and adultswim
Guess no one miss “Yup Dave” from Storage Wars. That show still confounds me. Try to watch it but it’s just unwatchable.
@ timotey
If all advertisers cared about was how young a show skewed, NCIS would get crappy ad rates. R&I gets higher ratings in the 18-49 demo than WC does, so it’s more desirable to advertisers.
And as for Matt Bomer being out of the closet and turning off women viewers, I don’t think that’s true. I love love love him and so do all my girlfriends. I just think the quality of the writing has gone down tremendously since Season 1 but the chemistry between Bomer and Dekay is freaking awesome.
obligatory: JANE BY DESIGN??
Jane by design ratings ?
Stupid comments on Bomer sound almost troll like – his career is gang busters since he came out – he will be huge. WC maintained 1M in the only number that counts which is great. Matt will leave WC long before its in danger of cancel, it’s also a huge time shifter.
1.1 million for RHOC I knew the repeat of it would do well, I think it was a bad move for bravo to change it, pulling 1.9 on Monday and the repeat at 1.1 they could have possibly had 3 million viewers watch ir if they would’ve kept ot the same. Still good numbers though.
What is a good demo for scripted cable shows, a 1.0 or above? Also, does anyone know why TNT targets the 25-54 demo that is just different?
I caught 10 min of Bristol Palin life is a tripp last nite…no wonder its never ranked, it just might be the worse show ever created in the reality world
Im glad Pretty Little Liars is still ABC Family high rated series, gives a season 4 5 and 6.
I wish Jane By Design would go up but not even PLL could help it like it did with The Lying Game.
I am so glad Rizzoli & Isles was able to stay at 5 million and beat covert affiars, I really thought R&I would go down when CA started but nope.
Jane by Design – ABC Family
1.281 million viewers, (0.6 rating)
I want Jane By Design to get renewed so much its a great show with great actors and writing its numbers have been steady for its season 1B I hope that ABC Family sees that they have a great show that just needs a few changes to grow
Does anyone have the history of the Jane By Design ratings numbers because that is at least a several week high in A18-49, i think..
@Martin Yes it is it has been sitting at a 0.5 for a while for the A18-49 rating
