BBT is a beast..
Surprised at some of these repeats of shows that make the list.
Good news for WC!
Covert Affairs matched White Collar step-for-step. Happy
To the user I was talking to last week about WC: its rating, 1.0 is the same rating it used to get when it had TNT competition. I think the spike in the ratings(1.2) has to do more with promos/promotion rather than anything else.
Rizzoli and Isles was a repeat right??
Covert beat WC in overall viewers but lost to WC by 0.1 in the demo.
SOA is a beast!….great demo there, it’s skews heavily older adult but clearly alot of them under 49.
Sorta miss PLL not being on the table each week.
@Silvit I am not the person you were talking to lat week but I think the WC ratings were .9′s when against TNT but yeah it was around that.
Didn’t R&I kill WC in the competition? Considering that WC has no lead-in it does well overall but disappointing next to original R&I episodes.
@panda22
Heavily older adult? NCIS skew older, not SOA. SOA skew very young (see last week’s 18-34 rating)
@Joey
It used to get 0.9-1.0 or 1.1 against TNT competition in the summer.
@KarenM
A 0.1-0.2 more demo points is barely killing competition. WC does infinitely better than any TNT show in the 18-34 group.
@silvit, it used to do a lot better in the summer though, didn’t it?
And WC has the same lead-in of every USA show and the respective TNT shows.
I’m happy for Face Off.. Best score on 18-49 ratings this season I think. Alana is just the best.
Covert Affairs has the best lead-in actually.
@KarenM
Which show? WC? No, it used to get the same ratings (with the exception of last week when it was higher and the same thing happened some weeks ago).
@KarenM
Of course, 10 pm shows have the best lead-ins. I was talking about 9 pm shows. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
Face Off is the highest rated Syfy show besides Wrestling.
WC down from last week’s 1.1. Still, pretty decent few weeks. 1.0 for the Alex episode; 1.1 for the boxing episode; 1.0 for m/s finale. I gotta admit though, last night’s ep was pretty weak compared to the previous season/mid-season finales where characters have been blown up, shot, kidnapped, etc. I dunno why, but Neal’s daddy issues doesn’t interest me as much as it excites the other viewers.
Tuesday is a good night for cable, no garbage reality shows in the top 10
