Ratings: Broadcast Finals for January 8, 2013
NBC gave us the season premiere of OFF THEIR ROCKERS. Between the two episodes, the series averaged nearly 6 million viewers and 1.8 demo rating. Not exactly a great start, but better than how the lead out comedies did at 9:00 p.m. GO ON lost about 30% in viewers and 20% in the demo ratings, to post series lows. The bad news didn't stop there as THE NEW NORMAL dropped an additional 1 million viewers and 14% in the demo, from GO ON. Apparently THE VOICE had some lazy viewers that could not find the remote on Tuesdays and suffered through the two freshmen comedies.
At 10:00 p.m. PARENTHOOD won the hour in the A18-49 ratings, topping VEGAS, despite having just have the total viewers. PARENTHOOD drew just 5.3 million viewers in getting a 1.9 demo rating, while CBS' VEGAS had to draw 10.9 million viewers for its 1.6 demo rating. PARENTHOOD may win itself another season if this performance can continue though the season finale, and nothing new from NBC gains traction.
FOX was also all new on Tuesday night, but the numbers are too depressing to even write about. needless to say, Major changes are needed by FOX and the time is NOW to make them.
ABC was in passive mode as it is just treading the water as it burns off its remaining episodes of HAPPY ENDINGS, APT. #23 and PRIVATE PRACTICE. Not even the horrid FOX comedies can make them look good.
