   I already commented Liz and Dick ratings on the specific thread.
   The Lifetime movie at 7pm is the premiere of Love at the Christmas Table. It did better than other Christmas themed premieres this season.

   Hallmark movie ratings are also fine for the channel’s current standards

   @Trice Crew

   I thought Merles scenes were done quite well personally, he’s angry, he’s bitter, he’s now twisted because he thought he was abandoned by everyone, and the way he acts, it shows. Superb delivery there.

   Boardwalk was great, but I hope it’s not going to be a trend each year for it to not get great until ep 11.

   If TWD was on CBS (and the same format was allowed on broadcast) it would get 20 million plus viewers and an 8-9 demo easily. Do people tune in for the elements not allowed on broadcast (violence, gore, etc)? Sure do, but as stated repeatedly erlier, the quality of story telling and absence of cookie cutter brodcast TV cliches is what really make this show the phenom it is. Do you watch NCIS every week holding your breath wondering which of your favorite charachters is going to die? No, you watch the same characters survive the same dangerous situations week after week. Anyone who says “i cant believe the #1 show on cable is about zombies” or “i am ashamed of my generation” obviously has never given the show a watch with an open mind.

    Victorious did better than expected but Marvin Marvin debuted worse than How to Rock’s premiere back in February.

    It was obvious that marvin marvin will fail, I think nickelodeon was smart to make all the international start on April 2013, because it will give the international nickelodeon time to know what to do with the show

    Doesn’t nickelodeon know that the majority of,people do not like Lucas or Fred, just remove him

    @SHIFTYSASK

    Great analysis and 100% on target.
    Unfortunatly any time the nets do try and venture out of their comfort zone we get cancellations like the excellent LAST RESORT.

    TMNT Only got 2.9? I thought it would get like 3.5 cause of the amount of people that commented on the Episode!

    Victorious hits the top 25 for the first in 2 months
    Marvin Marvin (2.606/0.40 vs. 3.495/0.56) retained only 25.5% from its lead in despite all the heavy promotion.
    By comparison, How to Rock (3.3M, retained 91.67% of its lead in) but still got cancelled due to declining ratings, it averaged a puny 2.4M this season.
