Spotted Ratings, Friday 1/3/14


WHAT MATTERS:
  • A truly unique college football clash ruled the first Friday of 2014, with a BCS bowl game (ESPN's Orange Bowl) actually having to compete head-to-head with another high-profile bowl game. Fox's Cotton Bowl dominated broadcast but pulled only a shadow of last year's 3.5 rating; it's partly because of a worse matchup, partly because of this abnormal competition. As predicted on Saturday, the Orange Bowl (3.6) was much higher.
  • In the entertainment programming realm, NBC's Grimm and Dracula lineup returned to normal. The former bounced back from its weak two-hour fall finale and the latter regressed after an abnormal spike to 1.1 in its last ep.
  • Meanwhile, NBC's Dateline had a season high, while several repeats (led by Shark Tank) did better than usual. And an episode after its first 0.2, the CW's The Carrie Diaries held up after finals with its first 0.4. For now, we can probably just say those points cancel out to leave that show at its usual 0.3, but some more 0.4's going forward would be nice.
