Also MF faces CM which gets a 3 and AI which gets a 5. BBT faces Idol which gets below a 4 in the 8pm hour. Meanwhile nothing else gets over a 1.5 in that slot.

I also hate the term ‘season low’. Every show has to have a season low and a season high. Season highs are almost always in November or January and lows occur in April. So of course MF hit its season low last night. It wasn’t going to happen in the fall other than maybe Thanksgiving eve.

BBT had a 4.4 last week….what are you smoking?

4.2 vs 4.4 is not .5

and MF 4.2 will adjust up

why do you hate the term? i think it’s nice to hear when nbc’s stupid programming move of the voice on mondays each week — it hits a new season low for the past five weeks.

Besides, i think next week will be better — this wednesday lineup has been in repeats for the longest time.

ABC was also down….Middle/Suburgatory are now in Old Christine/Gary Unmarried territory and not looking to hot.

why compare 3-4 years ago when ratings were higher back then? that shows you how well TM/Sub are doing…solid!

A 2.1 is NEVER solid period.

2.1 is the season low……not the avg

Irrelevent…a 2.1 is never solid and last night that 2.1 was weak…heck even Survivor was weak and I noted it…again, why are you so defensive about ABC shows? Do you have stock in them or are you just somekind of deranged individual who has nothing better to do than “protect” ABC shows?

I don’t get nbc, not even a network in this bad a shape would keep rock center on the air, which only further cements that they are in bad shape.

I think it’s more indicitive that NBC has this blind favoritism to Brian Williams. Any show producing ratings like this show has wouldn’t have been kept on air, let alone three timeslots.

Wednesdays are actually very simple for NBC: two hour comedy block and a drama (Smash?). That’s where they should head. The problem is nothing is working on this night to really get them on this path. They still need an 8 PM show. They don’t have any traction at 9 PM. And Law and Order: SVU needs to move out of the 10 PM timeslot.

against a 2 hour block on ABC and revenge?

I wonder if brian williams show was called dateline if it would do considerably better.

i could ask the same for you about cbs. you defended survivor by saying the season is boring. yet when commenting on abc you want to bring back 3-4 years ago and compare

Fox Renews Hell’s Kitchen for Two More Seasons
Link: http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/foxs-hells-kitchen-renewed-for-2-more-seasons/

If I’m not mistaken, that means Hell’s Kitchen has the most seasons ever for a reality series on FOX. When American Idol returns for a 12th season next year, the two will be tied.

So much chatter for so many questionable reasons…

Idol dominated, simple as that…on Wednesdays Idol has no equal and the other nets are being squashed…yes the show is down but its holding unlike the Voice which keeps dropping.

CBS was down across the board, Survivor hitting a series low isn’t good news but the cast is somewhat boring this season, one of my faves left last night and the rest aren’t so likeable…in fact, it appears to me that the editing is off this season…where is the drama? Minds had another soft outing while CSI tumbled….WHY? The drop from week to week is very severe and makes me question why the huge drop.

ABC was also down….Middle/Suburgatory are now in Old Christine/Gary Unmarried territory and not looking to hot. Modern Family returned to a season low, while Apt 23 started out decently I forsee a drop next week to the low 2′s…a 20% drop is normal for a lot of shows so the prediction IMO is pretty safe ;) Revenge clip show did okay

NBC is yet again a disaster…it should be named CW II. It almost appears as if NBC is doing this on purpose…like they want Weds to fail or perhaps its just SVU they want to axe? Either way viewers are getting accustomed to not watching NBC on this night

On the debate of which comedy is stronger…let me say that it is clear that BBT is the strongest comedy on right now…the biggest reason is that it beats Idol in a head to head competition and advertisers will note that while MF and Men are unable to compete with Idol/Voice. Yes the Hut levels are stronger at 9pm but that argument actually works against the 9pm shows as their demos should be stronger than any 8pm show. You also must consider the shares for each show…MF got 11 shares, BBT gets like 13-14 which is down from last falls 16 shares. When it comes down to the numbers BBT is strongest in the demos but MF wins in DVR usage which IMO is more a bad sign as DVR viewers don’t really watch advertisers commercials. Of note, MF was only .6 above Men’s series low while BBT’s last outing was .5 ahead of last nights Family.

To date BBT is the only show that beats Idol outright on everyone of their head to head battles…no other show can boast that this season, in fact both Men and Family never won a single night vs Idol or the Voice

Winner: BBT

All true, but one small correction. The Big Bang Theory is the only scripted show in the history of television to ever beat American Idol. Not just this season. That is ever. American Idol was beaten once before by the Olympics. Other than that The Big Bang Theory remains the only show to ever beat it.

But in viewers, the ones that “don’t count”, Dancing with the stars is the first show to beat idol ever.

How is defending Survivor saying “its boring”? Oh and bringing up Gary/Christine was due to those shows being on Weds at 8pm and getting canceled for such low numbers.

Can’t we all get along here, lol? I think the problem is that more advertising was placed on modern family and apt 23 returning and it’s been in repeats for so long that I think people didn’t know it was returning. I wouldn’t worry about it, i don’t see ABC canceling the middle or suburgatory.

NBC can’t go the reality route (except game shows, more on that later) here because of American Idol. It would get destroyed. And it has tried dramas of every imaginable genre and it continually does poorly. CBS has a market on procedurals. The only thing that they have tried which showed any life in the last few years is Law and Order: SVU, Minute To Win It, Deal Or No Deal, and comedies. So family friendly game shows and comedies. I’d recommend that NBC follow any footprint on this night that has worked (even partially). This is where I’d put their muti-cams that are more family appealing and then get more adult going through the hours leading up to Smash. Smash is the type of show that isn’t going to be impacted by competition. It’s a darker musical show. Revenge/CSI won’t impact it. And I think NBC has really struggled with Thursdays at 10 PM and putting Smash there (it’s likely other potential timeslot) could really hurt it.
