Nice start for Revolution! Sure it's going to drop next week, and serialized shows tend to not do well, but I hope it stables itself enough to get a season renewal. I was going to give THe Mob Doctor a shot but after those low ratings, I won't waste my time since it will get cancelled soon.

[wingwalker]

Yeah, Mob Doctor is DOA. Probably will be the first cancellation of the season.

Haven't gotten to watch Revolution yet, but good start ratings wise. Encouraging sign that from the quarterly breakdowns, that with exception of first 15minutes, which was likely The Voice viewers who were still tuned in, there wasn't any major drop off. Most stayed to watch the whole hour.

Revolution Quarter Hour breakdown

10pm: 13.367m viewers 4.7/12 A18-49;

10:15pm: 11.376m 4.0/10;

Wow, no drop for Go On in demos. That's a pretty good sign that it'll be renewed. I see TNN falling into the 1's next week against more competition.

[wingwalker]

Either that Or NBC viewers forget new episodes were airing. Either way, not good even for NBC, especially since CBS and ABC's shows haven't started yet.

[Toups]

Yeah, I thought it was a bit strange that NBC premiered so low, especially The Office - their premieres usually do very well. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the shows sent UP with the added competition next week - I think something was up.

Wow! H50 totally collapsed! Looks like Partners could be dead in a couple of weeks. Okay hold for Revolution and winning the timeslot helps.

[wingwalker]

First I have to give NBC some kudos. After being dead last all five nights of the week for years, they finally pulled off a win one day of the week and probably sustain it. While I think in the long term 2 cycles of Voice is going to speed up the burnout America is already starting to have with singing shows, it was something NBC needed to do in order to launch new shows.

Now to CBS. The network that usually does no wrong schedule wise has sprung a MAJOR leak. Not only did Partners debut as probably the lowest rated CBS comedy ever (usually even the worst CBS comedies at least get a good sampling for their debut), Hawaii Five 0 totally collapsed. A lot of people said it was stupid of them to move Two & Half Men to Thursday and make 2 Broke Girls the anchor, that it would weaken their Monday lineup. That's exactly what happened. Last year HIMYM leading into 2BG leading into 2.5MEN worked very well for them. CBS never should have messed with that formula. They should have kept 2.5MEN where it was until it finally ends, then after a few more seasons of grooming, move 2BG to the 9pm anchor slot.

ABC, Dancing should be 2.5, not 2.7 Toups. It was already an old skewing show, now with a 2.5 demo it's really old skewing. ABC should start having conversations of how much longer they can milk this show. Maybe they should consider moving some comedies to Monday instead of competing with NBC and Fox comedies on Tuesday.

Fox, this is what happens when you let singing shows take up a 1/3 of your schedule and get lazy developing new dramas. Besides House FOX had no drama hits waiting in the wings to anchor the night. Fox is going to be last on this night for a long time to come.

[Toups]

Yeah, I think we were both skeptical about moving 2BG to 9pm after only one season. If things don't improve, I could see CBS moving 2.5 Men back to Mondays 9pm and 2BG back to 8:30pm.

Oooppps...I think all the number are wrong. I did'nt use the finals! LOL I'll have to retype everything. ABC also made a big mistake by keeping Castle after DWTS for so long, instead of trying to launch a new show after it.

Yeah, I don't see FOX getting out of 4th on Mondays for a while.
