Supernatural ….
Crap.. series low for Arrow.. great for Supernatural
FOX is on fire this week… Too bad it all ends tonight…
Yay for Chicago Fire! Ouch for Arrow…series low, below 1.0 and below 3 million viewers. Obviously it’s not in any kind of danger what so ever, but that’s still not good.
A New SVU only beats a Repeat of Criminal Minds by a tenth lol. The Middle and Modern Family are keeping ABC top on wednesdays easy to see that The Neighbours and Suburgatory are flops
How does Fox luck end tonight? Maybe TBBT will drop too its not going to get a 6.0 against Idol people.
Chicago Fire is kicking ass for NBC
I was hoping Arrow and SPN would adjust up. Guess I’ll have to wait until next week to see them both break 1.0 again. Happy to see SPN so steady though.
Prediction for tonight:
The Big Bang Theory 5.9
American Idol 4.2
Two And A Half Men 4.0
Really pleased for Supernatural. It’s been one of my top five shows since it began and its current ratings success is well deserved. I’ve no problem with Arrow but I can understand why the audience might be dropping off. I’ve not been rushing to watch new episodes for a while now. I wonder how long before SPN is improving on Arrow’s numbers?
“American Idol” and “The Big Bang Theory” will pull each other down. They share a lot of viewers. Maybe a low-to-mid 5 for “Theory” and a high-4-to-low-5 for “Idol”. However, FOX will win the second half hour. “Two and a Half Men” has no chance against it.
Victor, I agree, and I had concerns that Arrow would be adjusted up and SPN down. I’m far, far more an SPN fan than Arrow; I am slightly worried that if Arrow dips below 0.9 it SPN will drop, also.
Ugh! What’s happening with Arrow? The episodes keep getting better.
Chicago Fire doing ok but Kicking Ass? Its against Repeats.
Idol may still be strong enough to uplift FOX’s season average ahead of NBC. Helping the situation is FOX’s big hit The Following and solid Bones. With Football over for NBC (and already accounted for in their season average)
NBC really just has The Voice and Revolution for Spring. So I expect FOX to rank # 2 behind CBS at the end of the season.
Poor ABC will be #4 for sure.
@Zth
American Idol will not drop from a 5.5 to a 4.2 from Wed-Thu! That’s just insane
@CrimTV
Yesterday it had 0 competition. Tonight it’s agains TBBT and TAAHM.
Arrow has been a little soapy recently, but it’s still pretty good and hopefully the family drama will be toned down a lot to give more exposure to the mythos.
FOX is doing great this past week. With Bones, The Following, Glee,New Girl at or near season highs. IDOL will be down tonight but they might have attacked enough loyal viewers to stay some what steady. My guess. American Idol – 4.9 Glee- 2.4
PREDICTION FOR TONIGHT
6.2 BBT
4.2 2.5 Men
4.5 Idol (4.0 first half 5.0 second half)
