Ratings Pit Of Debt: Kitchen Bad dreams or nightmares Steady As All Friday Scripted Series Drop

Last November, when ABC beat CBS’ scripted Friday selection multiple occasions in grownups 18-49 with a combination of reality shows and newsmagazines, I wondered whether the thought of putting scripted series on Friday was condemned. Well, searching within the amounts last evening, it certainly seems by doing this, particularly should you program for your internet marketer-friendly grownups 18-49 set. Fox’s reality series Kitchen Bad dreams or nightmares (1.6/6 in grownups 18-49, 4 million audiences) and ABC’s newsmagazine 20/20 (1.2/4, 4 million) were really the only programs about the big 4 systems last evening not to drop from premiere week in grownups 18-49, wonderful scripted shows lower. Although it is not really particularly disturbing for CBS — that's placing a mature-skewing fare round the evening that could pack ten million audiences despite low 18-49 amounts — it should be alarming for NBC, that's likely to unspool two youthful-skewing shows round the evening, Chuck and Grimm. Following Kitchen Bad dreams or nightmares, Fringe (1.2/4, 3.millions of audiences) was lower 20% in the low season premiere the other day. Granted the series evolves some 50% in Dvr viewing, that is still an very low base to start from, which causes it to be unlikely the sci-fi drama can cheat cancellation again. Like Fringe, CBS’ rookie A Gifted Guy (1.2/4, 8.millions of) is diminishing, lower 14% in the debut the other day and tied with Fringe and 20/20 since the least expensive-rated first-run program last evening. CSI: NY (1.6/5, ten million) was lower 11% from the other day in 18-49, while Blue Bloods (1.8/6, 11.2 million) was lower 10% but nevertheless ranked since the finest-rated program on Friday in 18-49 and total audiences. NBC and ABC went repeats of newcomer series for more sampling, then newsmagazines. NBC’s two-hour Dateline (1.6/5, 6.2 million) was lower 20% inside the demo from the other day, 20/20 was track of much. CBS (1.5/5, 9.8 million) won the evening in 18-49 and total audiences, but it'll be interesting to look for the way the network costs against NBC and particularly ABC when the systems ditch scripted reruns for Chuck and Grimm (NBC) and reality, coupled with 20/20 (ABC). The CW can’t re-produce the ratings miracle Smallville and Supernatural had together last season, drawing lots of youthful eyeballs for the low-trafficked Friday evening. Nikita (.6/2, 1.8 million) no less than held steady in the low start the other day in 18-49 and shed 5% in general audiences. Supernatural (.7/2, 1.8 million) was lower a tenth inside the demo and 10% in audiences.
