Spotted Ratings, Friday 4/1/16


WHAT MATTERS:
  • FINALS UPDATE: A week after adjusting up from 0.6, this time Sleepy Hollow adjusted down from 0.7 to its first ever final 0.6. The Vampire Diaries (0.4) also adjusted down.
  • CBS' Friday lineup made a fairly unexciting return to the schedule. While The Amazing Race (1.1) was up a tenth in its first post-DST episode, Hawaii Five-0 (1.1) and Blue Bloods (1.2) each matched their last couple results.
  • Fox brought Hell's Kitchen back to Friday and saw its ratings plummet to 0.8; Kitchen found this night a lot tougher than it was in January when it was leading out of MasterChef Junior. The penultimate Sleepy Hollow had its usual 0.7 at 8/7c.
  • ABC had repeats of Last Man Standing (0.8), Dr. Ken (0.7) and Shark Tank (1.0) plus an original 20/20 (1.0), while NBC had a repeat of Caught on Camera (0.7) leading into original Grimm (0.9) and Dateline (0.9).
  • The CW's The Vampire Diaries (0.5) and The Originals (0.4) returned from hiatus in solid fashion, with TVD on the uptick.

First Two Weeks, Crowded


WEEK ZERO (Tuesday 10/9c preview)
Rating: 1.7
Lead-in: The Voice Tue Spring (2.7)
Competition: Of Kings and Prophets (0.5), Limitless (1.1)

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 3/31/16


WHAT MATTERS:
  • FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (3.5) adjusted up while Scandal (1.7), Life in Pieces (1.7) and The 100 (0.4) all adjusted down. (LiP was counted as a single one-hour telecast in finals, but its preliminary 1.9/1.7 must have averaged a 1.8 total, hence the downward adjustment.)
  • It looks like the CBS bubble shows can cross one obstacle off their lists, as Rush Hour opened with a soft 1.1 demo rating and 5.1 million viewers. It has to hold pretty much all of this just to be an Elementary-sized player, and it's not like even doing that would be saying much.
  • Earlier in the night, CBS' The Big Bang Theory (3.4) and one-hour finale of Life in Pieces (1.9/1.7) were down a bit in their return from the March Madness hiatus. (It was also the shows' first airings after Daylight Saving Time.) 2 Broke Girls had a typical 1.6 leading into the Rush Hour premiere.
  • It was a good night for the first couple hours of TGIT, as Grey's Anatomy (2.2) and Scandal (1.8) were both on the upswing. Despite that help, The Catch (1.0) took a pretty average post-premiere drop, which is not good news considering where it started.
  • Fox's American Idol (2.0/2.1) showed promise leading into its finale week, surging back into the twos for the first time in four weeks.
  • NBC wrapped up the seasons for You, Me and the Apocalypse (0.6) and Shades of Blue (1.1). The latter seemed like a potentially shaky renewal at the time it happened, but it's earned it by staying in the ones after all these repeats of The Blacklist (0.5).
  • And the CW was back from hiatus with Legends of Tomorrow (0.7) even and The 100 (0.5) inching up.
