Spotted Ratings, Thursday 10/27/11: Cardinal Win


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Game 6 of the World Series scored a 6.5 A18-49 rating. That's 12% lower than the last Game 6 in 2009, but that series as a whole was considerably stronger across the first 5 games, so consider this a pretty strong rating. It's ahead of the last non-Yankees Game 6 in 2008 (6.2).
  • The other networks were affected almost exactly as you'd expect based on gender composition. Heavily female ABC and the CW were flat to up, the former perhaps also buoyed by a stronger 8/7c lead-in thanks to a Charlie Brown special.
  • Relatively normal-skewing CBS took small hits at 8/7c, though The Big Bang Theory beat the Series heads-up at 8:00. The CBS dramas were flat.
  • Relatively male-skewing NBC got murdered with Community and Parks and Recreation tying series lows and The Office dipping below 3.0 for the first time in over six years. Prime Suspect also hit a new low despite the glut of repeats NBC's been running this week. It's now below the number that got The Playboy Club pulled a few weeks ago!
