   Wow, Rizzoli and Isles originals really gone down from last year, at least the Leverage demo retention is pretty good.

   Does anyone think the controversy surrounding the Storage Wars’ cast is hurting its ratings?

   I think many have said Rizzoli and Iles is a summer fun show that does not do well against network competition. I guess. Next year they are having all 15 episodes in the summer instead of 10 then 5 in the winter.

   And this is why Smackdown should be on Tuesdays, it would get at least a 1.0 even on Syfy

   I didn’t even know Leverage was on, at least the numbers aren’t too bad

   Thought Zombie Apocalypse would make a lot more considering the trend.

   Leverage was pretty good last night, especially the emotional last scene when Nate talks about his son. This show is adept at switching from comedy to drama in a heartbeat. It deserves another season, even if it’s only a shortened final one.

   And I see Rizzoli and Isles danced around the “L” possibility yet again. Dump Jane’s soldier crush and get it on!

   I think that could be having an impact on “Storage Wars”, but I think the show is just getting boring and tired.

    ERRORS in the headline & text — or in the numbers??

    According to the numbers chart, several airings of “The Big Bang Theory” beat “Ink Master” and “Storage Wars” in both total viewership and the 18-49 demo by quite a bit.

    Disregard previous — TBSC is off-net.

    I wonder how Rizzoli will do on Christmas? The brilliant execs at TNT scheduled the season finale for 12/25… I’ll be DVRing it, seeing as I won’t be in front of a TV.

    The Big Bang Theory is the entire top five! Beastly!

    If only!!! I just think it’s viewers fatigues.

    @Richard

    God, just stop! It’s just gross. It’s like the straight college girls who make out for the sake of man’s fantasy. Leave (real) gay women alone!

    @Martin

    The downfall of TNT continues . Last year it used to get 1 around this time.

    @Larson

    Yes, but they are repeats and the headlines is about originals.

    SmackDown did really well for USA, it should be airing on Tuesdays instead of Fridays.

    How does IM beat SW when they have the same 18-49 rating and SW has higher viewer numbers?

18. silvit

    Posted December 19, 2012 at 8:45 PM

    @Connman

    Because the 18-49 is not the same. The number you see is the rounded one.

    R and i down from last week and i to thought it was kind of weird that TNT has a new R and I and Leverage next week. They should hold them for a week and air them on the eightth instead. I thought last weeks R and i was more interesting than last nights.

    @david

    Why? The ratings won’t matter since one show has already been renewed and the other won’t base its renewal on one episode. They are practically burning off the episodes, so the sooner, the better.
