I agree little-monster, these are the sort of ratings Glee was getting in S1-S2 was it not? (maybe not as high, but Glee was getting 5s before I think) Nowadays, it can barely pull 0.6.

Thursday earlies had everything bar Mom and Elementary affected by DST. Everything dropped except those two shows which grew.

CBS:
The Big Bang Theory- 16.08m (4.4)
The Odd Couple- 10.74m (2.6)
The Big Bang Theory (R)- 9.65m (2.2)
Mom- 9.18m (2.3)
Elementary- 7.77m (1.5)

ABC:
Greys Anatomy- 7.38m (2.1)
Scandal- 8.28m (2.6)
American Crime- 5.81m (1.4)

NBC:
Dateline- 4.50m (0.8)
The Blacklist- 7.30m (1.7)
The Slap- 2.90m (0.6)

FOX:
American Idol- 8.14m (1.7)

The CW:
The Vampire Diaries- 1.33m (0.6)
Reign- 1.04m (0.4)

I find it interesting if you go to the first page on this thread! Look how different ratings were. Sleepy hollow getting a 2.7! Hart of Dixie still at .4! The Blacklist difference!! Mom is now in the same slot as it was in the opening post and its doing better now than 2013!

The Blacklist seems to lost some of it's audience this season. I remember everyone raving about it last season, but season 2 has lost hype and divided a lot of opinions.

I think if The Blacklist was still on Monday nights it would be doing well. Some shows just shouldn't change nights.

DST has been affecting shows badly quite recently. Also a lot of repeats, so won't include them.

Monday earlies:

CBS:
Mike and Molly- 8.46m (1.9)

ABC:
Dancing with The Stars- 14.02m (2.0)
Castle- 9.07m (1.5)

NBC:
The Voice- 12.21m (3.3)
The Night Shift- 5.74m (1.5)

FOX:
The Following- 3.51m (1.1)

CW:
The Originals- 1.29m (0.6)
Jane The Virgin- 1.07m (0.4)

Meh to everything really.

Tonight launches three new shows. Two for NBC with Undateable and One Big Happy which follow The Voice. And one for the CW with iZombie following The Flash.

Strong start and return for iZombie and Undateable. A respectable debut for One Big Happy.

Empire finishes with a two hour finale tonight.

Thanks! Here are the finals. The Voice and The Flash adjusted up, Izombie down.

CBS- all repeats

ABC:
Agents of SHIELD- 4.34m (1.6)

NBC:
The Voice- 12.82m (3.2)
Undateable- 6.43m (1.9)
One Big Happy- 5.47m (1.6)
Chicago PD- 6.96m (1.6)

FOX:
Hells Kitchen- 3.79m (1.3)
The Mindy Project- 2.00m (0.9)

CW:
The Flash- 3.69m (1.3)
Izombie- 2.29m (0.8)

Better for The Flash, but adjusted up for that and down for Izombie, it doesn't look that good for Izombie. NBC wins the night by a mile, and respectable return for Undateables, I reckon it should be stable because it's a great sitcom getting good reviews, however OBH may drop a lot because of some extremely negative reviews.

Salv, how does that not look good for iZombie. 0.8 is very good for a new CW show. No one expected it to debut high like Arrow and The Flash did.

In relation to One Big Happy, while 1.6 is s solid demo, for a series premier it’s probably likely to only decline before stabilising somewhat. And at 1.6 it can’t afford to decline too much. As you’ve said, the critics didn’t seem to like it, so that might be the beginning of a problem. I initially thought that having a popular name executively producing it (Ellen DeGeneres) would have guaranteed it some success, but then I remembered that ‘Guys with Kids’, which was executively produced by Jimmy Fallon was cancelled after one season so maybe there’s no guarantees in my logic.
Personally I haven’t watched it yet, might give it a go tonight.

I seem to say this every week about Empire but.....WOW!!!!

http://tvline.com/2015/03/19/empire-...atings-record/

"Fox’s Empire wrapped its supernova-like freshman season on the highest of notes, averging 16.5 million total viewers and a 6.4 demo rating across its two-hour run — rising 11 and 10 percent to easily deliver season highs.
Hour-by-hour, the show did 15.5 mil/6.0, and then 17.4 mil/6.8."

There have been some concerns for the show not doing well, because the lead character is a lesbian. So people already have a bad opinion of the show anyway. If you do look at a lot of shows on television, there are not many lead characters who are gay or lesbian. It's always a supporting character or a guest character who is. You would hope One Big Happy could try and change that, but i have a feeling it will not, and may lead to the ignorance and failure that led to Ellen Degeneres's last two sitcoms, where one sitcom famously had it's lead character come out after four seasons of being straight, and then one a few years later where her character was an established lesbian anyway.

If your going to have a lead character who happens to be gay, do it on cable. But broadcast networks will simply not accept it.

One of Empire's lead characters is gay and has had quite a few snogs and PG13 style love scenes. Doesn't seem to have harmed ratings there.

And Will & Grace did okay too.

But he is a supporting character, not a lead. He isn't the primary main character. I am on about the main lead character. Would Scandal have done well if Olivia pope was a lesbian, and would House have done well if he was gay? I bet they wouldn't and that is annoying and sad.

and yes Will and Grace is a rare exception.

(Weds comedies all repeat)

Ah sorry about that, just saw it now. I expected 1.0 to be perfectly honest. If I wasn't visiting the TVBTN site, I would have said 0.8 is great, but all the US viewers have stated that it got an immense amount of promotion, the same amount that Arrow and The Flash got before their launches and that the CW promotion for it cost them a lot of money, hence why people think .8 was a bit poor. It's not poor IMO, it's "OK" to me. But with a general drop off of around 20-30% for CW shows, it will be around 0.6 which IMO wouldn't be too good behind The Flash.

In finals Empire went up......again!

http://deadline.com/2015/03/empire-f...ng-1201395097/

The final numbers are in and Empire gone up again. Nielsen numbers have the 8 – 10 PM finale of the Fox drama snagging a 6.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 16.7 million total viewers. First of all, that’s a record for the TV ratings rule breaking series and up 71% and 69% respectively from the results of the show’s debut back on January 7. Secondly, compared to the series’ March 11 1-hour show that’s a 12% rise in both categories. It’s a 2% bop up from earlier demo numbers this morning and a 1% rise viewershipwise. While still behind the March 15 airing of AMC’s The Walking Dead, Empire has now solidly taken the lead among shows on the Big 4 among adults 18-49 this season. Last night’s airing of the hip hop family drama delivered the best first season result any new series on any broadcast network has had since the Shonda Rhimes created Grey’s Anatomy ended its debut cycle on ABC in 2005.

FOX have just signed a massive deal with Hulu, which means Hulu will now have exclusive rights to stream season 1 and any other future seasons of Empire.

If CSI Cyber tumbles further, I think this could save Stalker.

I think the CSI brand isn't as powerful as it once was. NCIS is the one now for CBS.

I think its more likely to save the original CSI then anything

I have to think given a choice between them right now it makes more sense to get another season of CSI then Cyber or Stalker which are still 3 years plus (as neither has a full season) away from Syndication and Stalker isn't owned by CBS either.
