“Top 100 Shows” – Thursday, March 05 2015
ABC’s Thursday night was a little less formidable without its third Shonda Rhimes-produced drama last night. With How to Get Away With Murder ending its freshman run last week, newcomer American Crime moved into the 10pm slot to more realistic results.
With a 2.0 rating among P 18-49 and 8.4 million viewers, American Crime lost a third of the demo score Scandal earned in the previous hour — though its viewer retention was strong. Perhaps this means American Crime will attract an older median age than Shondaland programming. The 2.0 score was still strong enough to make it the #1 program of the night in the 10pm slot.
Elsewhere on ABC, Scandal (3.0) returned from its week off down three-tenths of a point, and Grey’s Anatomy (2.4) moved up two-tenths of a point, a score even with two weeks ago.
The Big Bang Theory (4.8) grew three-tenths of a point on CBS. It was the #1 program of the night, but appears to be playing second fiddle behind Empire. That being said, Big Bang will probably return to top dog status after Empire completes its rookie run on March 18th.
For good news for CBS was the solid two-tenths increase garnered by The Odd Couple. The rookie comedy pulled a 3.0 in P 18-49 in its third outing. Mom (2.2) was steady and Elementary (1.3) fell two-tenths.
Both American Idol (2.2) moved up one-tenth and Backstrom (1.0) stayed steady last night on FOX.
Between steady episodes of The Slap and Allegiance, each of which pulled just a .8 in the key demo. Blacklist fell dangerously close to its series low with a 1.8 among P 18-49, something Ratings Intelligence predicted would take place after its move to Thursday.
*Note: Allegiance has officially been cancelled, and The Slap will now take over its 10pm timeslot. This isn’t a big shock to us. Dateline special: The Real Blacklist, will take over the 8pm slot for the foreseeable future. Perhaps The Slap can benefit from The Blacklist lead-in. Needless to say, NBC’s 2015 struggles continue.
On cable – An American Dad re-run on Adult Swim grabbed a 1.0, good enough for #1-rated program on cable for the night. The NBA on TNT finished right on its heels, grabbing a .9 in the core demo.
WWE Smackdown on Syfy (.8) was up one-tenth from the previous week, while History’s Vikings (.8) remained steady from its last original outing.
Following Smackdown and Vikings were Pawn Stars and A&E’s After The First 48, both of which grabbed a .7 in the demo. A&E’s Nightwatch and Tru TV’s Impractical Jokers grabbed a .6 in the demo, both up one-tenth from the previous Thursday.
