Mondays are suddenly a goldmine for FOX!
TBBT, TAAHM, HIMYM and 2BG all beat Modern Family in the demo.
Err… as much as I would like to think Castle got into the top 25 with a repeat I think you’ll find it was a new ep last week
Big Bang barely beat cable zombies….
NBC can’t get a single show in top 25. Sad.
@MichealChickless
But it did
Why is Castle listed as a rerun?
“Mondays are suddenly a goldmine for FOX!”
Spoken too soon.
“NBC can’t get a single show in top 25. Sad.”
Top 25? They only had 3 shows that pulled a 2.0 or higher.
Why do they continue to call CBS the old people network when it gets 10 of the top 15 shows in the demo. As long as they can do this, what is wrong with entertaining millions of others outside the demo as well.
CBS TEN OF THE TOP 13
30 Rock got mileage for seasons about the ridiculous state of NBC’s ratings. Last fall, the jokes seemed dated because out of the blue, the Peacock had many high rated shows. Coincidence or not, on what was the last week of 30 Rock, all hell broke loose on the NBC schedule ratings-wise. Not since the disastrous first few decades of ABC has a network had numbers this-across the board-dangerously low. Did Tina Fey leave a horse’s head in NBC’s bed?
CBS is a serious ratings juggernaut. Their entire lineups for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights of last week are in the Top 25. That impressive. To boot, they have the week’s #1 show by a mile in both viewers and demo. NBC, on the other hand, would be on life-support without Sunday night football and the Voice. Right now, without their more highly-rated material airing, the numbers are plummeting. Must See TV has become No One Sees TV.
^ and Wednesday lol csi n cm …. and ncis is the #1 show to date beatin all sports n reality show in viewers. how long has been that a scrip show finish #1?
I wonder if veiwers are waking up to the sheer reality that reality shows are anything but reality?
does anyone watch the really good stuff….on PBS? Does too much that garbage from the main stream broadcasting clog your brain like wheel barrows of oompty maghen (poop) in a toilet?
