CBS averaged a 2.68 for the premiere of its block. Sure, your statement is still true but I would argue the difference is marginal enough to make the difference meaningless. And I think this block is much more dependent on BBT than ABC's is of Modern Family. I would argue that The Middle+The Goldbergs + Blackish are collectively stronger than The McCarthys, Two and a Half Men and Mom.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-15753017401642710482014-11-02T06:19:59.264-05:002014-11-02T06:19:59.264-05:00I think given the ratings dissimilarity with Scand...I think given the ratings dissimilarity with Scandal and The Blacklist, is safe to assume that Scandal will win.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-76702874721942291462014-11-02T06:19:02.683-05:002014-11-02T06:19:02.683-05:00Scandal has grown over 40% in the course of two se...Scandal has grown over 40% in the course of two seasons.

I mean, Big Bang made the whole thing look pretty great but if you take away that it's really just a bunch of marginal shows being held together by a gigantic hit.

The loss of the powerful CBS Mondays was more of a blow IMO.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-489100040613984292014-11-01T00:00:47.113-04:002014-11-01T00:00:47.113-04:00It sounds like he's specifically addressing co...It sounds like he's specifically addressing comedy blocks.<br />Though ABC Wednesday averaged 2.55 this week.<br />CBS Thursday averaged 2.68.

It's a great comeback story for a show that many didn't think will last past one episode (even the series premiere trailer makes it look like a show that will crash during episode one and then get cancelled), and when it does, didn't think it can make it past season 1. And when it gets renewed for the 13-episode season 2, many thought it is a save-face renewal for Shonda Rhimes, and that it will get cancelled after the 13 episodes of season 2. When season 2 got extended to 22 episodes, I remembered quite a few eyebrows saying ABC made the decision way too early. And now? What a success. The increase in ratings is very rare for broadcast shows. And to a smaller extent this season, The Goldbergs is also experiencing a "sophomore climb".Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-12106305056982803962014-10-31T20:41:58.219-04:002014-10-31T20:41:58.219-04:00They might as well do 2 hour Biggest Loser now.

The perfect storm of ABC's strong TGIT lineup coupled with all of the CBS show movement and the later debut of their scripted fare due to TNF, all conspired against CBS. It's way too early to pronounce TNF anything less than a big hit for CBS but the shortened season "might" have done irreparable harm to both their Monday and Thursday lineups of original programming. Once viewing patterns are set, they can sometimes be very challenging to change. I am absolutely convinced that NBC will harm The Blacklist with its move to Thursdays. The Superbowl ploy has certainly not worked very well for any show that aired after it in the last few years.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-4973012191615839492014-10-31T18:36:13.324-04:002014-10-31T18:36:13.324-04:00Thanks for info.

That hypothetical show would be 3 weeks on, then 2 weeks off (Thanksgiving, Petar Pan), 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 4 weeks on, and then permanently moved elsewhere as The Blacklist comes into that timeslot.<br />But I think the best course of action would be to air The Blacklist repeats at Thursday 9 PM. It would kinda prepare people for upcoming timeslot change.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-3130309968570815412014-10-31T18:28:23.402-04:002014-10-31T18:28:23.402-04:00Oh yeah by the way, Good Judge and B to Y are canc...Oh yeah by the way, Good Judge and B to Y are canceled but will still air thru their runs kthxbai.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-25383343004769526502014-10-31T18:24:17.774-04:002014-10-31T18:24:17.774-04:00Eek, CBS is going south.

Elementary is either Friday or Sunday-bound, Big Bang Theory is stuck in low 4's (okay, it's still good, but regardless), Mom isn't getting that big push people expected. 2.5 Men is doing what it did last season, and McCarthys is already 2 and done. Expect 2 hours of Chuck Lorre soon.<br /><br />But TGIT is still kicking even without Grey's. Don't watch Scandal or Murder, but I'm rooting for them.
