Spotted Ratings, Friday 3/28/14


WHAT MATTERS:
  • The California earthquake coverage didn't make a massive impact on Friday finals.
    • A pair of very good games for CBS' Sweet 16 basketball (2.3/3.6) grew to a massive degree from the prelim on the same night last year (1.7/2.3);
    • NBC had a good night with a special two-hour Dateline tying a season high. Hannibal adjusted down in finals but was still up a tenth week-to-week.
    • Week two of Whose Line Is It Anyway? (0.5) was down a tick, but the 8:30 repeat (0.5) matched it;
    • Rake (0.4) and the final scheduled Enlisted (0.4) were each down another tick, though the penultimate Raising Hope (0.5) grew at 9:30. Apparently this took Rake beyond what Fox could accept even in this slot, as it was pulled from Friday and will burn off a couple eps this Saturday.

Damn affiliates. Networks originally scheduled earthquake on Saturday, but affiliates insisted on moving it to Friday.

Of course they did. (Slightly) More people watch TV on Fridays, therefore they have a (slightly) bigger captive audience w/ which to (after)shock and terrify w/ the news that the earth just shifted in its chair.
