Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 2/15/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Survivor premiered down just a tick from last spring's premiere. That's a very small year-to-year drop for reality television in 2011-12 but still the show's lowest-rated premiere yet. CBS also got a small uptick from Elisabeth Shue's debut on CSI despite Criminal Minds dropping against American Idol.
  • Facing considerably more competition in the first couple hours, ABC got hit pretty hard, as The Middle and Suburgatory were at new lows against Survivor and then the Modern Family / Happy Endings duo got slammed against the second hour of American Idol. The bad mojo in the comedy block brought no help to an underwhelming Revenge in its big revisit-the-pilot episode.
  • The Wednesday premiere "bounce" dissipated as Rock Center collapsed and brought Law and Order: SVU with it. But give Whitney some credit for continuing to show some rather shocking resiliency at 8/7c.
