Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 10/16/13


WHAT MATTERS:
  • The fun appears to be over on ABC as Super Fun Night dropped substantially again in week three, now managing barely over half of the Modern Family demo rating. What was a promising start two weeks ago is now a low-end Modern Family retainer.
  • It didn't go any better for the 8:30 newbie. ABC had a nice uptick in the lead-off slot with a new Toy Story Halloween special that we'll probably see again in the future. But it was of almost no help to Back in the Game.
  • The CW made it two straight weeks with a surprising uptick in the 8:00 hour, as Arrow shook off last week's disappointing start and returned to about the level expected pre-season. And newbie The Tomorrow People was down just a tick in week two.

- Super happy for Arrow and hoping for an uptick for The Tomorrow People. Let TVD uptick and I will be 100% sold on the move and eat dust (I will still say that The 100 should have been on the fall and not reign though, unless you know, reign blows our minds with its ratings)

- Praying for an uwpards adjustment for Revolution. This season it's like a completely different show quality wise, I am totally in love with it, I think it might one of my favorite shows on the air right now. It's on its way to become NBC's 4th highest rated scripted show, but if that's enough or no, who knows? My guess: it will come down to Revolution vs. Parenthood. They should renew 1, cancel the other. Other stuff like midseason dramas, even Dracula, # comedy hours, etc. should keep into play, but that will basically be it, I doubt they do away with both, but I doubt they renew both.
- ABC was too ambitious in its sitcoms scheduling and now is left with nothing. I don't hate it because it was a high risk, high reward move, too bad they got stuck with the high risk part. SFN is done.

Interesting if CW gets 4 1+s in a week. With most of the other nets' shows diving, it's kinda weird to me.
Thank goodness ABC's gonna have to stop trying to make me "join the Rebel-olution" cuz it'll be cancelled.


The big question is, top drama of the night: Criminal Minds, or American Horror Story? I'm guessing CM, with AHS having a moderate drop from its premiere.
