Without adjustments (and there will likely be some), according to TVByTheNumbers, Go On scored a 6.4 in the demos. The Olympics had a 10.4 at 10:30, so roughly a 62% retention without adjustments. That’s as good as they should have hoped for, so I’d consider it a success for NBC.

The FutonCritic updated with the viewership totals:

For those asking, #GoOn delivered 18.5 million viewers (6.4 adults 18-49 rating) following the #Olympics on NBC – http://bit.ly/NlGE1q

Animal Practice should shoot for the same roughly 55% to 60%. If the show can do that, then NBC should be in great shape heading into their September launches.

not a 6.4 now

Extrapolating the numbers, Go On pulled in about 5.8 demo rating and 16.6 million viewers. That is only a little more than half of the show’s lead-in (NBC’s Olympics coverage scored 10.4 and 30.6 million viewers from 10:30-11 PM),

TV POLL: Who is your Favorite TV Maid?
Alice?
Hazel?
Mrs. Garrett?
Berta?
Anyone else?

I blanked out on the TV maids but I used to love the TV maids they were all funny and very knowledgeable women. Mrs. Garrett was my favorite because she was more than a maid she was a teacher and mentor to the young people on Diff’rent Strokes and Facts of Life.

I was surprised how few TV Maids there have been, that are memorable.

But, off the top of my head, of the 8 I list for the poll, 4 either had the show about them or were spun off onto their own show.

Yeah it is a bit surprising but I think its due to the fact that maids are not stars on their shows except Mrs. Garrett on Facts of Life. Maids really have to stand out because of their role in the depth chart.

There was a 1950s sitcom on ABC called ‘Beulah’ that was about a maid. And ABC’s The Courtship of Eddie’s Father’ had Mrs. Livingston as the maid. And technically speaking, wasn’t ‘Party of Five’s Kirsten character sort of a combo nanny/maid?

Academy Award winner Miss Hattie McDaniel starred in ABC’s fifties sitcom ‘Beulah’.

GO ON could have pulled in more had it not started in the 11pm hour. Most Olympic viewers probably went to bed at 11pm, since they have been staying up until midnight the last 11 nights.

ANIMAL PRACTICE should do a little better retention because of the 10:30 half hour slot. The lead in will be weaker.

I Forgot about Beulah. I’ve never seen it, but was aware of it.
I stayed away from the nannies or other “helpers.” I did not include Daphne from FRASIER since she was mainly there as a Pysical Therapist for Marty.

I wouldn’t dare torture myself through watching New Normal as it actually does look worse than Animal Practice.

If Go On actually hits for NBC by mid-season I may resample it like I had to do with Whitney where it got better but for right now I didn’t like what I saw and am very disappointed.

As for Guys with Kids it needs to benefit behind AGT in order to have a chance of doing well on Wednesdays. Hopefully NBC moves it to Fridays by the time Whitney’s new season starts.
