LOL.
Looks like AHS: ASYLUM wasn’t able to bounce back from the Thanksgiving-Eve season low, just as I figured it wouldn’t.
The REVENGE of cable continues to dip….
Was hoping higher for AHS..
are those ratings good for AHS?
TV Land did really good seeing as both shows have been off for almost 6 months!
ann,
yes they are. especially since the show tumbled down to a 0.9 for thanksgiving eve. glad that it recovered and hope it climbs again next week.
Yes, AHS back to great ratings.:-)
I admit it: it hurts, it really hurts to see Wednesday cable ratings. Why Duck Dinasty why?
DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE RATINGS FOR AHS–IT’S ALREADY BEEN RENEWED FOR S03
LOOK AT ALL THE NETWORK ONE-HOUR DRAMAS THAT HAVE A 1.3 RATING OR LESS
Am I the only one laughing at how almost 10 years after its finale – Friends pulls better numbers than half of The CW’s production
Good for AHS it should do even better the next couple of episodes going into the finale. Im loving this season.
AHS was great yesterday and I loved seeing conroy again.
She deserves to come back in S3. Conroy+Lange=POETRY
@ silvit
I agree, the real AHS here is Duck Dynasty owns the top three & 7 eps 1.0 or better! No wonder we need the Moonshiners now more than ever!
I’m surprised the TVLand sitcoms are sustainable with those ratings. I realise both Hot in Cleveland and Happily Divorced are on the syndication track, but Betty White doesn’t come cheap.
@Max
Max has literally no life lol. It’s hilarious. You just stare at your computer, waiting to post a comment here first. Week after week. What a loser you are lol.
American Restoration has ruined the show. Not showing actual work,just the goofy brother, goofy son, goofy stepson, really goofy wife, mini drama, 1,2,3 heres the finished product, crapola. Wanna see Kowboy and the others actually breaking stuff down, sanding, welding, painting, and the art guy. That’s what the show is about, not the phony family drama.
Ugh I guess Duck Dynasty is the new Jersey Shore.
South Park did ight I guess. I wonder if CMDY Central is really going to drag this show out to 20 seasons.
Family Guy is on so many networks
Loving the show. Hope to see a rebound next week. JAMES CROMWELL EMMY!
so the Whitney Cummings talk show flopped?
decent for TVL comedies but nothing special.
Pretty good for Hot in Cleveland! 1.70 million is pretty good considering the fact that they have been off the air since June! The lowest and highest viewership in season 3 were 1.09 and 1.95 so 1.70 is on the higher side! Good job! I really hope this season there are some episodes with 2 million+ viewers.
AHS is terrible this season, IMO. The show is all over the place. I really hope season 3 is better.
