It would be interesting to see the half hour splits for parks and MJF.

Big Bang's 6.1 is phenomenal.

 

Grey's came in fine but I think Scandal will get bigger ratings this season... I expect Grey's to average a 3.0 in fall and Scandal to return with a 3.5 then drop to about 3.2.

 

1.9 Shark Tank

1.7 Blue Bloods

1.6 Masterchef Junior

1.5 Undercover Boss

1.5 Hawaii 5-0

1.3 Dateline NBC

1.2 Last Man Standing

1.0 The Neighbors

0.4 America's Next Top Model

Poor for The Neighbours. ABC should have renewed Malibu Country.

Lol at Blue Bloods almost equalling Hostages.

 

The 1.9 for Shark Tank wouldn't be an awful number during the week for some networks.

Poor for The Neighbours. ABC should have renewed Malibu Country.

 

Dont think that would've done any better with a 1.2 from LMS.

Looking forward to seeing how much 'Breaking Bad''s finale is going to do. It's insane just how much hype there is for it. Too much to ask for at least a 4.0??

With the momentum it's had I think 4.0 is easily reachable.

 

I wonder how much higher it could go if CBS had moved Big Bang to 9/8c?

Think it will do a 4.2.

Breaking Bad got a 4.9 in the top 25 markets (ie. not the national number)

 

2.8 The Simpsons

2.6 Once Upon a Time

2.6 Family Guy

2.4 Revenge

2.1 American Dad

2.1 Bob's Burgers

2.0 The Amazing Race

1.6 The Mentalist

1.5 The Good Wife

1.5 Betrayal

 

CBS subject to adjustment. Solid start for Revenge following the Spring ratings, at least it held most of the OUAT audience which was down more versus last year. :D

TGW :(

Nice to see OUAT up a bit, but that's still down 1.3 from the S2 opener. Kind of expected a 1.4-1.6 for TGW so that's fine really. AMAZING episode, as per.

10.3 million viewers for Breaking Bad making it the most watched basic cable series finale ever.

 

A show that began with a 0.6 rating and is ending with a 5.3(!!). Wow

The power of word of mouth and illegal downloading/Netflix at work.

Jesus Christ 5.3. That is amazing.

 

It will hands down go down as the best drama ever. I need a stiff drink to recover after the finale.

Incredible. I'm not surprised though really! The hype was huge, it was just a matter of "if" they could reach those numbers due to it being on cable. :wub:

The 18-49 numbers are incredible, especially compared with the other 2 biggest basic cable finales before now (Monk and The Closer, both with about 9.3 million) that got like a 1.2.

 

(I know it's a bit like comparing apples and testicles but whatever, it's fun)

Jesus Christ 5.3. That is amazing.

 

It will hands down go down as the best drama ever. I need a stiff drink to recover after the finale.

Let's not go completely overboard! "The Sopranos" and "The Wire" are still the gold standard. "Breaking Bad" needs a few years to leave its mark on pop culture before it can truly compete.
