By DOMINIC PATTEN | Wednesday November 21, 2012 @ 9:25am PSTTags: Dancing With The Stars, NCIS, The Mindy Project, The Voice, TV Ratings

On the second to last night before the end of the November sweeps, it was a bit of a rollar coaster on TV on Tuesday. Fox’s The Mindy Project (1.3/4) took a 19% dive from last week, falling to a new series low. On NBC, The Voice’s (3.3/10) live results show was down 15% from last week. Matthew Perry’s Go On (2.2/6) was flat with last week. At 9:30 PM, The New Normal (1.6/4) was down 11% from last week. That’s series low for the new Ryan Murphy show. Following The New Normal was Parenthood (1.6/5), which was also down.  The comedy/drama fell 16% from last week, which is a tie for Parenthood’s lowest ever rating. Fox’s Raising Hope (1.5/5) was down one-tenth from last week. Newbie Ben and Kate (1.1/3) was flat with last week, which is a tie for its series low and New Girl (2.0/5) tumbled 9% from its November 13th show.

ABC’s Dancing With The Stars’ (1.9/6) live results show was even with last week. Happy Endings (1.2/3) however was down. The single camera comedy fell 8% from last week to hit a series low. It wasn’t better for Don’t Trust The B- In Apt. 23 (0.9/3). Down 18% from last week, the ABC sophomore also hit a new series low. The soon to be ending Private Practice (1.2/3) broke its downward run. The medical drama was up 9%from last week’s series low. On CBS, NCIS (3.0/9) was down 3% for its lowest fall rating since December 16, 2003.  NCIS: Los Angeles (2.8/8) was flat from last week. That’s a season low for the procedural original and a tie for a season low for the West Coast spin-off. Vegas (1.8/5) had a good run at the ratings table. The Sin City drama was up 13% from last week.  On the CW, Hart of Dixie (0.5/1) was down a tenth from last week. Emily Owen, M.D. (0.4/1) was even with last week. The medical drama has been moving up with Women 18-49 and posted its best (0.6/2) in that demo since its October 16 premiere. CBS won the night in terms of overall viewers – 13.91 million – and in the 18-49 demo.

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘The Voice’ Hits Low, ‘Dancing With The Stars’, ‘Hawaii Five-O’ & ‘Mob Doctor’ Up,

By DOMINIC PATTEN | Tuesday November 20, 2012 @ 9:21am PSTTags: Dancing With The Stars, The Voice, TV Ratings

For the ninth consecutive in-season week, NBC topped the adults 18-49 demographic in every half hour of Monday’s primetime, with The Voice (3.7/9) the night’s No. 1 show in the demo. The Monday streak is NBC’s longest run at the top since Nielsen started its people meter sample back in 1987. However, the singing competition series continued its downward trend, falling 16% from last week to a season low for the night. It’s lead-out, Revolution (2.6/7), tied last week’s season low. Over on ABC, Dancing With The Stars (2.3/6) was up 10% from last week and Castle (2.0/5) was up 5%. DWTS was the most-watched show of the night with 14.1 million total viewers; ABC won the night in total viewers with 12.9 million, while NBC was second with 9.4 million. Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Partners’ Steady As Other CBS Series Drop, ‘Mob Doctor’ Back

There was encouraging news last night for modestly rated freshman CBS comedy Partners. As the CBS Monday lineup returned from a three-week break, Partners (2.1/5) was even with its most recent airing while all other CBS series were down. The hold may be enough to clinch the series a back episodic order. Partners is the only new fall series that launched early in the season not to get a script or episodic pickup. Of the other CBS shows last night, How I Met Your Mother (2.8/7) was down 13% from three weeks ago to a season low, 2 Broke Girls (3.3/8) was down a tenth to tie its series low, Mike & Molly (2.8/7) was down 7% and Hawaii Five-0 (2.0/5) was down 5%.

NBC once again topped the night in adults 18-49, though its fast nationals may be inflated because of an NFL pre-emption in New Orleans. The Voice (4.5/11) was down 6% from last week, while Revolution (2.9/8) was down a tenth to a series low. Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: Presidential Debate Battles Football, Baseball; ‘Voice’ Drops

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Tuesday October 23, 2012 @ 9:32am PDTTags: Dancing With The Stars, Monday Night Football, Ratings, The Voice
Nellie Andreeva

Last night, President Obama and Mitt Romney faced their biggest debate challenge yet. No, it wasn’t moderator Bob Schieffer’s questions or trying to restrain themselves from punching each other when seated within arm’s reach. For the first time in three Presidential and one Vice Presidential debate, it aired against football: Monday Night Football on ESPN. To make things even more competitive, the San Francisco Giants needed a Game 7 in the National League Championship Series to clinch a spot in the World Series, so the debate faced that face-off too on the East Coast. Because the NCLS went the distance, Fox did not carry the debate last night, the first time it’s done so this fall. Because of that, cume ratings for the third Presidential debate on the broadcast networks are running down double digits from the second debate in early estimates. Time-adjusted ratings for the debate will be available in a few hours. (UPDATE: Fox News set a viewership record.)

To accommodate the debate, NBC’s The Voice and ABC’s Dancing With The Stars were condensed to an hour, running from 8-9 PM. For Dancing (2.4/6), that actually boosted ratings as the dancing competition rose 14% from last week’s two-hour edition. However, ABC carried an NFL game in Detroit, so the the network’s fast nationals are likely inflated. The Voice (4.2/11) suffered from going down to one hour, dropping 29% from last Monday’s 8-10 PM telecast. It also was down 10% from its Tuesday edition last week, which, like last night’s episode, aired from 8-9 PM. Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Ben And Kate’ Drops, ‘Hart Of Dixie’ Up, ‘Emily Owens’ Debut Soft

There was an hour of entertainment programming last night, followed by coverage of the second Presidential debate. (Although, with its testiness, the debate did rival such reality staples as the Real Wives franchise in bickering and fighting.) Reliable ratings for the debate won’t be available until later today (check Deadline for updates), but judging by the fast nationals, it seems to have drawn overall audience/demos on par with the first debate, with NBC leading coverage by a wider margin this time due to its big lead-in from The Voice.

The Voice (4.6/13 in adults 18-49) was up two tenths from its fast national last week, leading NBC to another Tuesday demo victory. ABC’s Dancing With The Stars results (2.1/6) matched its fast national last week despite moving from 9 PM to 8 PM to accommodate the debate. Fox’s Raising Hope (1.7/5) was down one tenth but freshman Ben And Kate (1.2/3) stumbled, down 20%. Read More »

Ratings Rat Race: ‘Revolution’ & ’90210′ Up

Nellie Andreeva

Revolution TV Ratings NBCAfter topping the list of Live+7 gains with a big 2.3 18-49 rating lift, NBC’s new series Revolution received more good ratings news this morning. The futuristic drama reversed its ratings downtrend since the premiere with a 3.4/9 in adults 18-49 last night, up 13% from last week (10% from its fast national last Monday) to match its best Live+Same Day demo rating since the series debut. Its lead-in, The Voice (4.8/12), held steady, up a tenth from its fast national last week and even with the final. NBC extended its Monday winning streak among 18-49 to four weeks.

ABC’s Dancing With The Stars (2.1/5) was even with its fast national last Monday, down a tenth from the final, while Castle (2.0/5) was down 9% in 18-49 while hitting a season high in total viewers (10.9 million). ABC won the night in total viewers. Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘The Voice’ Inches Up, All Other Series Drop On Monday

Nellie Andreeva

It is not a pretty picture looking at the fast national ratings this morning, with most of them painted in red — indicating week-to-week declines. The only show in the plus column was NBC’s The Voice (4.5/11), up 6% from its fast national last Monday. The Voice is about to face its biggest test next as its traditionally highly rated blind audition rounds are now over. Its lead-out last night, Revolution (3.2/8), was once again the dominant player at 10 PM but shed another 9% from last week’s fast national as it is yet to level off. However, the futuristic drama quickly established itself as a top DVR gainer, adding a 1.75 18-49 rating in Live+3 last week.

It’s time to sound the alarm for Fox’s freshman drama The Mob Doctor, which dropped to a 1.0/2 in its third airing. It matched the delivery of Fox’s fall 2010 drama Lone Star in its second and final outing before the network pulled it from the schedule. At 8 PM, Bones (2.1/6) was down 9% from last week.

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Partners’ Debuts Low, ‘Revolution’ Holds OK; NBC, ABC Split Night

Nellie Andreeva

NBC’s strong ratings performance last Monday had an asterisk next to it because the network’s series ran virtually unopposed against repeats on two of the major networks. But against all-original competition last night, NBC’s lineup still did well, winning the opening night of the 2012-13 season among adults 18-49.

Both The Voice and Revolution were dinged by the increased competition. The Voice (4.2/11) was down 11% from last week, while Revolution (3.5/9) was down 15% from its big premiere last Monday. Still, NBC comfortably won every half-hour of primetime last night. The feat was most significant for rookie Revolution, which is staking a claim on the 10 PM hour, beating soundly the season debuts of ABC’s Castle (2.5/6) and CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 (1.9/4). The number for Hawaii Five-0 is a little alarming for a marquee franchise entering its third season. (The fast national number for Castle will likely be revised down in the finals because of NFL pre-emptions and possible Dancing With The Stars overrun.) Speaking of NFL, Monday Night Football delivered another strong performance for ESPN last night and may be the overall ratings leader when finals for the game are released. Read More »

Why Is Bristol Palin Returning To ‘Dancing With The Stars’? “God Provides Opportunities Like This”: TCA

By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Friday July 27, 2012 @ 11:38am PDTTags: ABC, Bristol Palin, Dancing With The Stars, TCA

Diane Haithman contributes to Deadline’s TV coverage.

Bristol Palin Dancing With The StarsAs announced earlier at today’s TCA, Bristol Palin is among the returning stars for this season’s Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars. Palin came under fire during her season on the show because she made it to the finals despite her comparable lack of talent (one of her infamous routines included her dancing in a very hairy monkey suit). And at this panel, she was peppered with questions about why she would subject herself to it all again. Said Palin: “I just think that God provides opportunities like this. You can either go out and do ‘em or not do ‘em, the press is going to talk about me no matter what so I might as well be having fun”. Adding another reason for participating in a later comment: “Do I like to provide for my son? Yes I do”.

Palin was also asked about whether the various Palins making reality TV into sort of a family business. “I definitely don’t think it’s our business”, she said. “I just think you guys are going to be talking about us either way, so I might as well be doing something enjoyable and fun. (DWTS host Tom Bergeron joked that the Palins have not quite gone “full Kardashian” yet). Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Dancing With The Stars’, ‘American Idol’ Finales Hit Lows

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday May 23, 2012 @ 9:33am PDTTags: American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Ratings
Nellie Andreeva

Both ABC’s Dancing With The Stars and Fox’s American Idol are having off cycles, and that was on display last night when Dancing held its season finale and Idol its performance season finale. ABC and Fox’s lineups were identical to last May for proper comparisons — Idol‘s performance finale was from 8-9 PM, followed by the season finale of Glee, and the Dancing closer aired from 9-11 PM. Idol (4.2/13 among adults 18-49, 14.4 million viewers) was down 32% in the demo from last year’s performance finale, a much steeper drop than the 6% 2010-11 dip. It was reality veteran’s lowest-rated performance finale ever. Compared with last week’s performance episode, Idol was down 14%, in line with last year’s decline. Glee (3.0/8) was up 20% from last week’s telecast at 8 PM to a three-month high but down 35% from last year’s finale.

Following a Dancing With the Stars recap, the two-hour finale of the dancing competition (3.2/9, 17.5 million) was up 45% in 18-49 and 33% in total viewers from last week’s results show to a season high on the night. But vs. last spring’s finale, Dancing was down 30% and, like Idol, posted an all-time low for a finale. After topping Idol for the first time in total viewers on the same night last year, the Dancing finale did it again this year, widening its margin from 0.855 million viewers last spring to 3.1 million last night. ABC and Fox finished tied for No. 1 on the night among adults 18-49 (3.6/10), with ABC pulling ahead in total viewers (14.6 million vs. 11 million). Read More »

America's Got Talent RatingsIt was a night of finales and premieres and Howard Stern promising to play nice in primetime. The self-proclaimed King of All Media’s debut as a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent (3.6/10) was down 16% from last season’s May 31 opener but still won the 9 PM slot Monday. The two-hour season premiere came in just short of last week’s The Voice finale. On CBS, the hourlong finale of How I Met Your Mother (3.6/10) was up 9% from two weeks ago. The Two And A Half Men (3.8/10) finale was even with the previous week. Mike & Molly (3.3/8) and Hawaii Five-0 (2.7/7) were up 6% and 17% respectively in their season-enders.
