ABC had a rough night. Private Practice at a 1.6? This show has completely died after being separated from Grey’s Anatomy. Dancing with the Stars is equally struggling and barely could get over the 2.0 demo at 9 PM. Mondays and Tuesdays are now problem nights for ABC and they need to rebrand them.
NBC was down because of The Voice clip show. Considering everything, Go On held up decently. The New Normal is more of a concern. But both should go up again once The Voice is back next week. What this does show is Go On can potentially survive on its own but The New Normal can’t.
FOX is another network that is struggling on this night. Raising Hope came in low and Ben and Kate is now on the cancellation list. A 1.6 is a big problem in this timeslot. The Mindy Project didn’t do much better at a 1.9. Overall, FOX has really struggled with their new shows. The good news is New Girl is steady.
CBS’s lineup is down but NCIS and NCIS: LA are still solid. Vegas is a concern. This show is very close to dropping below a 2.0 already.
CW didn’t find any traction with Hart Of Dixie. This is going to be a night that CW struggles with as Emily Owens MD won’t likely do any better.

you were complaining about revenge going down from OUAT the other day….but you give Go On a pass. a 2.2 rating is not good. it will die in january with no voice
pretty much everything was low but ncis and the voice. thats all you had to say instead of babbling like usual with your weird comments

I view it as a different case. The Voice is a special episode and not an original. Once Upon A Time had a premiere episode and not a special recap episode. If Go On stays at these levels with an original episode, then it does need to be looked at again.
But to put it in perspective, a 2.2 is NBC’s highest comedy performer and outperformed 3/4ths of FOX’s comedy lineup (and all of ABC’s lineup and CBS’ Vegas). It’s very hard to label Go On as “not good” against its comedy competition and its nightly competition overall. The New Normal has more of a case for that label.
The Voice is scheduled to come back in early February, so I’d guess that they’ll probably just do repeats of Go On/The New Normal until then. It isn’t that much of a delay and NBC has a few limited series orders that they can use to fill in the time.

Given those low Demos, what do you think CBS will do with “Vegas”? How does it compare with “Unforgettable” last year?
