Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Ratings,
Didn’t know Heather Locklear was moving back to Melrose Place? Apparently you weren’t the only who missed that invite. Locklear’s return to the famous address hardly raised an eyebrow last night. The CW program still pulled in under a 1.0 in the rating and trailed behind its lead-in.
8pm
- NCIS (20.2 million, 4.1/11 in 18-49) remained steady.
- V (9.3 million, 3.1/8) let another 1.4 million escape.

An evening without a Rihanna-esque interview is just your typical boring
Friday night. CBS’ lineup easily held off its contenders to win both the viewers and the demos.

There’s nothing like a good sweeps stunt to get viewers tuned in. What happened to Kate Walsh in that sliding car? Over 10 million watched Private Practice to find out. How did CSI end its crossover event? Nearly 17 million now know.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance, Ratings,
Up until last night, Modern Family had been ABC’s bright spot in the demos—that is, until Taylor Swift came along. Yesterday’s broadcast of the CMA Awards - plus Swift’s win for Entertainer of the Year - helped the network pull off wins in both the viewers and the demos this Wednesday.
8pm
- Approximately 16.8 million tuned into the 43rd Annual CMA Awards (5.2/14 in 18-49).

Tuesday Ratings: V Comes Back to Earth
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Ratings,
The novelty of aliens on Earth was bound to wear off sometime soon. After a spectacular debut just seven days ago, V fell 27% in the prime demos. Although that’s the largest Week 2 drop for any scripted show this season, the resulting number should still be pleasing to ABC.
8pm
- NCIS (20.1 million, 4.4/12 in 18-49) picked up 700,000.
- V (10.7 million, 3.8/10) lost 3.2 million.
- The Biggest Loser (9.7 million, 3.8/10) gained 700,000.
- So You Think You Can Dance (5.8 million, 2.3/6) slipped by 300,000.
