the americans
hope next week is better
Ooof at The Americans. I think 10pm Wednesday is getting too competitive.
Absolutely ridiculous for Duck Dynasty! Tied Modern Family for the top program of the night.
That’s not great for The Americans. It was a stupid decision for FX to renew it so early.
Let’s rename Wednesday cable Ratings Duck Dinasty ratings at this point…
Southland wont be renewed with those numbers. Wow The Americans a flop just like Anger Management.
@Dillan
do you own stock in FX or something?
TNT bombed again with Boston’s Finest…
Duck Dynasty just killing it! Who knew so many fans of CSI, Southland, and The Americans were into that sort of thing. Even TBBT repeats were down a bit.
Psych did really well considering it was up against such a ratings monster. I still don’t understand why USA decided to air Psych on Wednesdays at 10 considering how flexible their schedule is.
I hope Southland can get off of the whole Lydia as a mother thing. I kinda wish that her baby had died instead of her mother.
-_- The Americans I actually was starting to get into that show.
Was it the season finale of Duck Dynasty or something for those numbers?
Eh, Psych at a 1.0 with 2.94M viewers for season 7 debut. On par with season 5 and 6 ratings I think. I want a back 8 for season 8 is all and I be happy.
And then 3 tv movies.
And then a direc to dvd movie.
I dream big, bros.

“Let’s rename Wednesday cable Ratings Duck Dinasty ratings at this point…”
I’m usually more amazed at how well the repeats of Duck Dynasty do. Especially considering the fact that they seemingly repeat episodes constantly.
I had no clue Duck Dynasty was THIS popular. Watched the show a couple of times and found mildly amusing, but I really don’t understand why it’s getting such insane ratings.
Is My Strange Addiction doing good enough for TLC? I once heard if a show goes under 1million on TLC it’s dead, but that could be a false statement. Anyone know?
@Meanie
“Was it the season finale of Duck Dynasty or something for those numbers?”
Season premier actually. The high ratings for DD that you’ve been seeing the past couple of weeks have been repeats.
If they give Southland a good end this year id be ok with it ending. Its gone a bit dull anyway.
wow, that is huge, could this be why nashville was down, I can only hope that it comes back stronger from its hiatus
Poor Southland…at this point i’ve accepted it’s fate to finally be cancelled, amazed i’ve seen it for 5 seasons now. It is probably the best drama on tv, but hey if people would rather watch a reality show about duck hunting?(wtf?) then so be it lol
I told you all FX jumped the gun renewing The Americans.
Kinda sad about Boston’s Finest. Liked it a lot. Don’t judge me. I’ve actually never looked at cable ratings before. What is considered decent numbers? Are those normal ratings for basketball? Seems very low to me especially for a pretty good game.
Not too bad for Shawn and Gus!
