Ratings: Broadcast Finals for September 3, 2012
It has been less than a month since NBC aired the Olympics and we can already close the book on the first post-Olympics failure, STARS EARN STRIPES. The celbreality series ended with a two hour finale and failed to generate three million viewers. Considering how much promotion NBC put behind this series during the summer games, the outlook does not look well for regular season for NBC (cue GRIMM ratings).At 10pm, GRIMM has been airing original episodes of the 2nd year series. It would be an understatement to say it has been underwhelming in the ratings. Only posting 4.6 million viewers and a 1.5 demo rating against weak repeat programming will not cut it when it moves back to Fridays and has to fight original episodes of CSI:NY, NAKITA and SHARK TANK
On the flip side, FOX did well with the season finale of its freshmen summer series HOTEL HELL. The two episodes averaged 4.4 million viewers and a 1.8 rating for Adults 18-49. The was good enough to top CBS' repeat filled Monday night of top comedies.
