   Sad for DALLAS, its a phenomenal show. Turns out that the move to the Winter was a bad move. The ratings for the 25+ look okay, but I don’t know if TNT will take that into consideration. Hopefully it’ll get a bump when JR dies/gets killed… whatever they choose to do. If that does’nt get the show to get its average up, I fear its dead.

   I keep waiting for “Vanderpump Rules” to lose a significant amount of RHOBH’s audience and it hasn’t. BRAVO is going to keep it.

   @Michael:

   The first half of Bunheads first season made the list. Ever since the show was getting 0.4′s is when it never made the list. TLG is the show that never makes the list, but the ratings for it aren’t that awful.

   “Well I guess The Rock isn’t the reason for the high ratings for RAW last week. He wasn’t even there.”

   Umm….the rating was down this week, and he wasn’t there. He was there last week, and the rating was better.

   Dallas really just can’t hold up against non-summer competition. I just don’t see it getting a season 3 at this point, even if there were a huge jump in ratings for the “JR” episode. TNT has been hard for me to predict in the past, but I just don’t see how they could successfully move the show back to the summer without a split season model like USA. I wonder whether most of their viewers are older or younger than the 18-49 demo.

   Swamps must really be popular. A .6 is low, but I can’t think of any TRU show besides Lizard Lick to ever make this list.

   I hope SyFy’s Canadian shows are doing better back home, but I’m also glad that nobody is watching them on SyFy. However scifi fans leaving the network doesn’t look good for their Falling Skies copy.

   0.3 A18-49 and 1.3 million viewers for Monday Mornings.

   We didn’t see Bunheads — that it doesn’t make the list above doesn’t mean it didn’t still have a 0.4 A18-49 rating though ABC Family put out a press release about Switched at Birth that didn’t mention Bunheads:

   http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/02/05/switched-at-birth-climbs-to-1-year-high-in-adults-18-34-and-season-2-highs-in-total-viewers-adults-18-34-and-adults-18-49/

   Our second source might be traveling so I’m not sure when we’ll see Bunheads, (or the Syfy shows), but The Futon Critic will likely post them later.

    holy crap Dallas WHY! it’s actually so good and doesn’t look like we’ll be getting a third season

    Not surprised about Monday Mornings, those had to have been the worse promo ads I’ve seen for a new show in long time. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and the gist of the show didn’t generate any interest for me at all. My rule of thumb is that if the ads, which are supposed to show the ‘highlights’ of a movie and show look boring then the show itself it probably toxic. Granted, they could have simply had a bad PR but it doesn’t look like it from the ratings.

    Dallas is so much better this season. If the viewers from last season that stopped watching should take a second look, it is well written this yer.

    @Shepherd

    Obviously they are way older than 49. Look at the total viewers/demo ratio. And for further proof (if the general OLD tone of their shows wasn’t enough) Dallas last week got 0.6 18-34, 0.8 18-49 and 1.0 25-54.
    So you know where the age of the viewers stand.

    People don’t want to watch same old same old, not on broadcast, and especially not on cable. Look at the scripted shows that did great on cable, despite some of them being niche: Breaking Bad, SOA, AHS, The Walking Dead, Dexter, Homeland, Games of Thrones, True Blood, Shameless. The audience has spoken.

    Wow at Monday Mornings. I am sad for Jamie Bamber, I think he is a great actor, I have liked him ever since battlestar. It is sitting on my to watch pile, but I don’t think I will even get to it what is the point if it will be done regardless

    I’m giving Continuum one more week and unless it gets better, I’m done with it. It would have been better if the freedom-fighters were the focus of the show since they actually have a story to tell and a reason for it. The future cop is just trying to crush human rights as a tool for the evil corporations running things in 2077.

    @Silvit

    That’s the first I’ve seen any ratings other than the 18-49, but yes, the show does appear to skew old.

    I’m not sure what originality or lack of has anything to do with my post though?

    Monday Mornings had to be one of the most advertised new series I’ve ever seen. Every commercial break on TNT had multiple promo ads running. Maybe viewers are getting sick of dumb medical shows..just ask Emily Owens MD or Do No Harm.
