@eridapo,
thank you
TVD beat LR woohoo CW on a roll this year.
Almost 15 million viewers for Person of Interest. That makes it one of the most watched drama’s on tv. So awesome! I’m glad that being only in it’s second season that it still has those kind of viewers. Yes the “important” age group is a little lower but a lot more people are tuning in overall. I’m only 22 and it’s one of my favorite shows. I don’t know if a lot of younger people just assume that the intelligent shows are automatically going to be boring or what but it’s definitely not. Last night was one of the best episodes.
Its really interesting seeing the differenty demos for the shows. It explins that not to many people below the age of 35 watch the CBS dramas.
TVD the best!!!!!
NBC: Please shoot Rock Center and put us out of our misery.
@Flame
The Big Bang Theory actually beat The Voice and X Factor combined in the 8:00 hour. The 5.3 for those two shows combined is the average of the 8:00 and 8:30 ratings. So TBBT actually beat The Voice & X Factor combined in its half hour this week.
Alright I’m a big SCANDAL fan but these numbers aint good. Its nice to see its neck and neck with the god awful ELEMENTRY but 1.9 out of a 3.3 lead-in gets me worried if its relocated.
THE X-FACTOR LOL WHAT A FLOP! Fire Mario Lopez STAT hes freakin’ awful!!!! Honestly, BRIAN DUNKLMEN could not be possibly busy enough to take over for him. He is exceptionally BAD! I stopped watching for him all together! Hes THAT BAD!
GLEE as much as I HATE THIS SHOW I’m shocked in built on its lead-in HOW BAD IS XFACTOR when freakin GLEE can gain more viewers and GLEE is a niche show and I hate it! But good for its fans!
POI just cant get a break!!! how many times has non-final ratings come its been a 3.0 and then adjusted down. CBS made a HUGE mistake giving ELEMENTRY the post SB slot over POI.. Do they honestly think there is growth here? LUI desverves so much better-LEE DOES NOT. 2bg or POI desevered this chance and I HOPE IT BITES CBS IN THE BUTT for not giving them this chance. DUMBEST DECISION EVER!!! My tv WILL BE TURNED OFF after the super bowl NO INTERESTED IN ELEMENTRY! (I do not watch POI and saw the pilot of ELEMENTRY)
beauty and the beast is a failure no matter how you chalk it up. If its moved POST HOD then expected 0.3′s
Brit losed to XTINA AGAIN!!! How does that DIRT TASTE? Is it BRITS fault? Naw. LOPeZ just sucks! Keep Chloe and replace him!
NBC gave WILLIAMS another shot given election and all BUT LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS!!!!??? WOW!!! NBC needs to cancel WILLIAMS stat election and all and still people dont give a crap! lol
Sad that nbc didnt air their comedys… would have loved to se cw once avain on third ppace at 8pm haha
TLR AND 666 will be canned by JAN and NASHVILLE will be given the full back 9. Mark my words and that sucks because ABC had 3 winners here! What happend???
@frodo
The Last Resort is done, nothing can save it.
So upset about Last Resort. Im not in denial it wont last past this year. My favorite new show of the year. So devastated.
“Alright I’m a big SCANDAL fan but these numbers aint good.”
They don’t have to be “good”, just “good enough”.
Among Castle, Nashville and Scandal, Scandal is currently the weakest.
If any of the spring dramas does well enough to survive, one of those three is probably getting canceled.
However, if all the spring dramas fail, and the relative ratings of those three remain near where they are now, I think all three come back.
SCANDAL will always be adjusted down a tenth or two because Gray’s runs into its first couple of minutes. This will always happen. Duh.
That’s now (at least) 3 straight 2.9′s. That’s… astoundingly consistent.
Go TVD, better than last season! It’s pretty much a given these days that ratings will drop every new season, but this is an exception! Just renew it for another 20 seasons, it will still beat all the other shows on The CW!
@Bill
I see what you are saying and as much as I am a fan of Scandal ABC surely wants more out of a 3.3 lead-in, dont you think?
Nashville and Castle clearly have weaker leads.
Max and another poster (who emphatically thinks they know everything) are the only reasons I hate reading the comments on here. I wish you could ignore posters like on imdb so you don’t have to see/read their posts. Max is so annoying and I don’t even watch Scandal or Revenge. No matter how many people on here say negative remarks about him he keeps doing the same thing. I guess a Troll by any other name is still a Troll. Also don’t see the joy people get from being the first to post “First!” like it’s biggest accomplishment in life.
Beauty and Beast should be canceled… .6-.7 in 1st season is poor, CW should not settle for less than 1.0
@halloween,
You do realize that would mean canceling 80% of their lineup, right?
