@Colin
Because this list shows the top 100 in 25-54, even if it’s ordered by their 18-49 ranking. This means EC wasn’t in the 25-54 top 100, but maybe it was in the 18-49 top 100 (more than likely).
I thought Tuesday nights episode was amazing! It showed that Eliot does have a caring side to him and that he as well as the rest of the team are learning to care through Nate’s example that it’s ok to change, trust and care! Eliot after all went to make peace with his dad after all those years just shows how much he has changed, and the tears in his eyes when his dad didnt open the door showed just how much it hurt him, something we haven’t seen from him before! I hope TNT renews Leverage for many more seasons as the cast and crew are so talented and amazing at what the do! I hate that it was moved to Tuesday night and wish they would move it back to Sunday. Leverage is one of only five shows I watch,and if I miss one of the other four no biggie but I NEVER miss Leverage!!
This kind of stuns me, more watched a re-run of Friends than Conan??
I guess R and I did as good as it did for last winters run relitively. Maybe next week it will go up because it will not be competing with DWTS. I to have noticed that on average cable shows are lower in the winter time then they are in the summer time.
@David
Not true. Even summer shows like PLL or Tosh do great during winter. For example Tosh would pull the same ratings in the summer on Tuesday at 10.
I don’t think the weak competition of a fading reality show meant much. To me it seems more of a case of “I watch a procedural in the summer when my other first procedural choices are in repeat, but when they are both on I watch CBS”.
If they want to compete -and beat- broadcast competition they have to offer something different, not the same stuff under a different name.
