Spotted Ratings, Saturday 12/8/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • With the college football regular season over, Saturdays get even more boring than they already were. But Fox had a strong option for this week with UFC (it peaked in the 10:00 half-hour with a 2.6 demo), and CBS hung in there with some holiday specials. NBC's American Giving Awards barely managed to avoid worst-big-four-ratings-ever levels.

One more scripted show is now airing originals at Saturdays ... but nothing to cheer about - MTV is burning off Underemployed ( "dramedy about life after college" ) .
This Saturday episode earned 0.15 A18-49 with 281K total viewers. As one would expect, that's even lower than 7 Tuesday episodes that my (quick and thus maybe incorrect) calculations have at average of 0.23 in demo and 491K total viewers.
I know MTV is more interested in P12-34 ... but looking at those total viewers, P12-34 ratings are surely not good too. Plus this Saturday burn off = good bye, Underemployed.
