TV NEWS ON JANUARY 13

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2013/01/week-16-tv-ratings-and-analysis-how.html 2012-13 Week 16 TV Ratings (first four nights, Mon-Thu): Households: N/A Total Viewers: N/A. Adults 18-49: N/A Week 16 (Jan. 7-13) Analysis: The first full week of new airings for nearly every series after the holiday break was this week, but the big story was series highs for The Big Bang Theory for the second straight week. We don't have final network average for Thursday, so we we can't bring you the network first four night averages above. But we can project through the first four nights, CBS has the lead in HH/total viewers and adults 18-49 thanks to the huge Bang episode. ABC is probably a few tenths behind for second place in 18-49, and is a distant second in HH/viewers. NBC is likely in third behind ABC in both HH/viewers & 18-49, but Fox looks way back in fourth again. When the week is done, Fox will likely come back and take the week in 18-49 since they had the NFL playoffs in primetime last night (Saturday). Will it be enough though since Mon-Fri was so low? And CBS had an unexpected 50 minute overrun last night for NFL as well. It'll be close. More on that later. As for last week, week 15, NBC took home first in adults 18-49 after coming back big with a huge Saturday Night NFL Playoff game (that did 30.28 million and a 10.53 18-49 rating), just getting by second place Fox, which got a great overrun on Sunday (38.09 million and a 13.40 18-49 rating) for the late afternoon playoff game. Then CBS and ABC were well back. Among total viewers, NBC took that crown as well thanks to the game, while CBS was a very close second. Fox was a distant third and ABC was behind in fourth. Monday saw NBC and ABC battle with reality, and both were close. Starting with ABC, the two-hour season premiere of The Bachelor from 8-10pm did 6.92 million and a 2.29 18-49 rating, which is decent and almost on par with last season's premiere. It should start building as the season goes along in a few weeks. At 10pm, Castle was all-new and did a first place 8.66 million and a solid 1.94 18-49 rating, nearly tying an NBC series premiere. For NBC, they had part two of The Biggest Loser season premiere from 8-10pm and did 6.39 million and a 2.40 18-49 rating, which is down a bit from the previous night's first part but neck-and-neck with ABC's competing reality series. At 10pm, the series premiere of new drama Deception didn't do much for a series premiere with 5.66 million and a 2.03 18-49 rating. If it can stay in this area, it will be fine, but likely it will drop 15-20% tomorrow night, which is not good news. CBS was in repeats with its comedies, as a repeat of How I Met Your Mother did 5.15 million and a 1.54 18-49 rating, up nearly seven tenths from previous week in 18-49. A repeat of 2 Broke Girls at 8:30pm did 5.07 million and a 1.50 18-49 rating, losing some of its lead-in's numbers, which is not good. A regular 9pm repeat of 2 Broke Girls followed with 6.07 million and a 1.82 18-49 rating, up about nine tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Next, a repeat of Mike & Molly did 5.86 million and a 1.61 18-49 rating, which is up nearly eight tenths or so in 18-49 from previous week. A repeat of drama Hawaii Five-0 at 10pm did 5.03 million and a 1.05 18-49 rating, up three tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Fox aired a repeat of Bones at 8 and did 4.26 million and a 0.93 18-49 rating, which was three tenths better in 18-49 than previous week, while the finale episode of dud The Mob Doctor did 3.27 million and a 0.86 18-49 rating, losing numbers from its lead-in, but up over four tenths in 18-49 from previous week's episode. The CW preempted 90210 as a repeat of Hart of Dixie aired at 8 and did 0.79 million and a 0.34 18-49 rating. At 9, a repeat of Beauty and the Beast on a special night did 0.68 million and a 0.22 18-49 rating, which is poor.
