  1. On paper Jordan seemed like the obvious winner, with Lindsay being 3rd/4th/3rd/2nd in the last 4 seasons. Plus he was in musicals.

    Though Sharna previously had an even better streak with 3rd/2nd/4th/2nd. Wonder if they'll push her to a win before the decade ends.

    Just remember that if there are fewer people watching TV on Fridays, it doesn't matter much to ratings. Ratings are based on the percentage of people watching at that particular hour. The show may lose actual viewers but still maintain a 0.9. 

    No, that's share. 

    -46% makes sense. Last premiere was down 28%, and I'd assume the Friday move would exasperate it by about half, so I would have thought maybe down 42%. -46% vs. last season's low would give us 0.4 for this season's low. Which is at least better than 10 Days I assume, given that show's 0.5 premiere.

    Oh my. What a night!

    They swept at the Emmys. Not even GoT have been able to win in so many main categories like that.

    Congratulations on well deserved awards to all. 

    I really hope the exposure mean more people watch the show. I think it it is that important  

    In the last 35 years i.e. Moss's lifetime, the only other Drama that won Series, Writing, Directing, and 2 top acting awards was...The West Wing season 1, with a recurring turn by our very own Elisabeth Moss

    ^^^^^This! 

    What I liked best about this show is that it took some real risks and I would love to see more shows do that.  I also like that it is giving the props to Hulu to produce more quality shows (until this year, I always felt like it was Netflix's ugly step-sibling in the world of original programming).

    Well, so far no Netflix Drama Series has managed even a running total of two broadcast Primetime Emmys...

    The battle next episode could be the first battle after Battle of the Blackwater where we get the audience maybe rooting for both sides or split 50/50 between them. I wonder if this battle also gets an epic name.

    I rooted for neither side. I guess one could argue that as being split.

  5. It is summer, but still, ABC drama development is bombing. Somewhere Between is their latest 0.3.

    Non-Saturday 0.3s so far: American Crime x2 (Sun), Still Star Crossed x1 (Mon) moved to Saturday right afterwards, Somewhere Between x1 (Tues), You the Jury x1 (Fri) cancelled right afterwards.

    Not sure if it's a sign that their new fall shows will likewise bomb hard enough to make this show look decent, or that ABC dramas are just continuing their freefall as a whole (minus Grey's Anatomy).

  6. So both Lindsay and Sharna have had 4 T4 contestants and 3 T3 contestants without a win. For those seasons, their contestants' ranking in average judge scores:

    Lindsay - 6th, 3rd, 3rd, 6th

    Sharna - 5th, 2nd, 5th, 2nd

    So I suppose Sharna has had better partners. I wonder if one or both will get an Obvious Contender next season, as I personally hadn't ever heard of either of their partners this season.

  7. Surprised, given how Lauren dominated iTunes. Chris's fans must've been significantly higher outside of sales.

    I think the producers are happy with how things turned out with an Alicia win.

    After 12 seasons, Blake still has 50% of all T2 contestants. Quite impressive. (The others: 5 Adam, 2 Christina, 2 Usher, 1 Alicia, 1 CeeLo, 1 Pharrell. 0 each for Shakira/Miley/Gwen.)

    As other have said Friday's isn't the kiss of death. CBS's entire line up of MacGyver, Hawaii 5-0 and Blue Bloods do  amazing on Fridays. 

    I wouldn't say "amazing" as all have fallen below a 1 this season, but they do okay probably because their overall audience is old, with between 15% and 18% of their audiences being in the target demo. Once has 37%.

    ...Anyway, ABC is scrambling for desperate looking options to replace their Flops. American Idol, DWTS Junior, Bachelor in Winter Paradise (FOUR Bachelor shows?), Grey's Anatomy: Seattle Fire. They do not seem happy with what they have.

    Grimm and Hannibal have both had success recently on Friday nights. I'm glad ABC is at least pairing Once with a sci-fi/fantasy show instead of all the random other dramas they've paired it with in the past. Plus a new night is another way to signal that this is a big break from the show we used to know.

    Grimm was at 65%, 77%, 75%, 68%, and 62% of the network average for the seasons. Once is currently at 76%, so its worst is around Grimm's best.

    Hannibal's ratings were terrible throughout.

    I can't see 'success.'

  10. I find it amusing that NBC poached them before ABC's reboot could get them. The only other notable name really is Carrie, but with how well her career's going I can't really see her spending a season as a judge on either show. 

  11. It feels like if they paid all that money for Idol they'd want to pair it with something with more potential.

    ...I suppose that the comedy cancellations should make the renewal less surprising. People expected an extra expansion of comedy hours to reduce on their poor drama slate, but ABC ended 4 comedies including Last Man Standing - which is an actual success - cuz its price tag is getting so high.

    Well Netflix does seem to promote it overseas, particularly with Netlfix UK and Ireland. I just didn't realize they were making that much money off of it. Interesting. I guess this is another sign of the times that Nielsens aren't what they used to be when it comes to renew or cancel. 

    Well, it is still ABC's #5 drama because ABC has such poor drama development.
