666 Park Avenue, ABC, Last Resort
Even though it’s always depressing to see one of your favorite shows come to a close before the first season is even over, there is at least a little bit of a silver lining here for fans of “Last Resort” as well as “666 Park Avenue”: ABC is not planning to leave you hanging when […]
666 Park Avenue, ABC, Last Resort
ABC waited as long as they could to bury this story over the weekend, but the sad news is coming out now: “Last Resort” and “666 Park Avenue,” despite both improving creatively over the past several weeks, are officially no more. Both shows struggled in the ratings almost from the get-go, and they each also […]
Elementary, Grey's Anatomy, Last Resort
We saw something rather rare in the preliminary numbers for Thursday night’s TV lineup: “Grey’s Anatomy” actually losing to another show in the 18-49 demographic. We don’t know what it is that is causing this great migration from season 9, but these are some of the show’s lowest ratings to date, and a pretty big […]
666 Park Avenue, Elementary, Last Resort, Revolution
When you look at Live+7 ratings, there is always one thing that you have to keep in mind here: these numbers are really in no way a guarantee that a show is going to benefit at all from them. After all, a million DVR viewers is never a replacement for the same amount of people […]
666 Park Avenue, ABC, Last Resort
This has turned out to be a rather good day when it comes to struggling TV shows staying put despite some low ratings. Even though neither show is anywhere near the level that ABC probably wants for the time being, the network has decided to give the go-ahead to more scripts (two each) for both […]
The first live+7 data for premiere week arrived on Monday, and there is some pretty interesting information in ther efor some of you ratings geeks out there. First things first, though, we must start with an explanation for those of you who are new to the game. Networks do look at DVR numbers when it […]
Beauty and the Beast, Last Resort, The CW
No matter how hard that they try, ABC can just not find a way to air during that 8:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot on Thursdays that actually works. For the latest example of this, just take a look at what happened with “Last Resort.” Overall, the military drama from ABC and Shawn Ryan this week scored […]
The struggles for new programming this fall continue, in particular when the network that you are talking about here is CBS. After saying last week that “Elementary” was the closest thing that they had to a surefire hit on their schedule, we’re now wondering whether or not even it is going to live up to […]
In the age where there are so many network drama series that are either about police work, medicine, or courtrooms, be jump and down whenever we see someone try something that is genuinely new and exciting. Then, we jump up and down even more when what they try out turns out to be a pretty […]
The numbers have come in for Thursday night’s lineup, and above all they really tell us one thing and one thing only: there are really not that many more people watching primetime TV than in years past. Do networks ever consider trying to market towards the millions who do not watch? The result of all […]
