Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 8/30/16


FINALS UPDATE: America's Got Talent (2.6) adjusted up while NCIS (R) (0.8) and The Flash (R) (0.3) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • NBC had a stellar Tuesday even by its standards, with America's Got Talent (2.4/2.7) on the rise to near season high levels and Better Late Than Never (1.6) holding up perfectly in week two. With just two weeks left in Better's short order, it's looking good for some kind of continuation.
  • ABC's Bachelor in Paradise (1.4) matched last week, while After Paradise (0.9) saw some improvement at 9/8c. (Is this when the new The Bachelor was announced?) It was of little help to the return of the 10/9c comedy repeats (0.4/0.4).
  • CBS' Zoo inched back down to 0.7, surrounded by 0.9 for NCIS and 0.6 for NCIS: New Orleans.
  • Fox's repeats (0.5/0.4/0.4) all matched last week, while the CW was up a tenth at least in the prelims with The Flash (R) (0.4) and MADtv (0.3).

Cablemetrics: The Night Of, The Strain, Fear the Walking Dead


These numbers are current through Monday, August 29.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • HBO's miniseries The Night Of (0.86) was up another 25% on finale night, ending with its third consecutive new series high. It was an impressive finish, if not quite the 1.0 -> 1.6 explosion from True Detective's season one finale back in March 2014. I'd say it's enough that HBO will at least consider the possibility of bringing the brand name back for another run.

FINALS UPDATE: Scorpion (R) (0.6) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

    • ABC: Bachelor in Paradise (1.6) & Mistresses (0.6)
    • CBS: repeats of comedies (0.8/0.7/0.8/0.7) and Scorpion (0.7)
    • Fox: So You Think You Can Dance (0.7)
    • CW: Supergirl repeats (0.3/0.3)

Schedules Plus Enhanced: CBS Sunday




Schedules Plus is the ultimate almanac to broadcast network primetime scheduling since 2001. It features lineups for three different parts of the year, as well as A18-49+ ratings that more fairly account for historical decline. For more on the tables and charts in Schedules Plus, see this primer.

This post covers CBS Sunday, which historically housed a regularly-scheduled movie from 9:00 to 11:00. This setup became less viable in the mid-aughts, and the network had to start putting entertainment series across the night. CBS' most successful Sunday program was The Amazing Race, which stayed in the 8:00 slot for nearly a decade, while the network has housed increasingly low-priority dramas in the later hours. See the 2021-22 Breakdown.
