NBCÂ
-
- The new comedy Go Onâwhich Iâd venture to say is the most improved new series of the season by farâhit a three-week high with a 2.8 rating and 7 million viewers. Thatâs up 33% from last weekâs 2.1 rating.
- NBCâs other new Tuesday night comedy The New Normal was also up, garnering a 2.0 rating and 5 million viewers against last weekâs 1.7 rating.
ABCÂ
- This weekâs episode of Private Practice was even with last weekâs 1.6 rating and 6.1 million viewers.
FOXÂ
-
- The promising new comedy Ben and Kate saw a slight drop as this weekâs episode garnered a 1.5 rating and 3.3 million viewers, down from last weekâs 1.6 rating. Nevertheless, Fox recently ordered six additional episodes of the comedy series so theyâve clearly got faith that it can build.
- High profile new series The Mindy Project scored a full season pick-up from Fox last week, and this weekâs new episode (the best so far) was even with last weekâs 1.9 rating and scored 3.6 million viewers.
- A swell episode of New Girl garnered a 2.7 rating and 5 million viewers, down a tad from last weekâs 2.8 demo rating.
CBSÂ
- Though NBC won the night ratings-wise, CBS still commanded the most viewers. NCIS garnered a 3.3 rating and 18.1 million viewers, down from last weekâs 3.7 rating.
- NCIS: Los Angeles was also down, netting a 2.9 rating and 15.1 million viewers, down from last weekâs 3.1 demo rating.
- New series Vegas was even with last weekâs episode, garnering a 2.0 rating and 11.8 million viewers.
The CW
- The second season of Hart of Dixie isnât doing so hot, as this weekâs episode was way down from last weekâs low, scoring a 0.4 rating and 1.2 million viewers versus last weekâs 0.7 rating.
- An airing of the five-year-old web series Dr. Horribleâs Sing Along Blog expectedly wasnât a huge ratings winner, as the premiere drew a 0.2 rating and 0.57 million viewers.
