Spotted Ratings, Thursday 2/2/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Another week, another tie for the Thursday lead. The Big Bang Theory and American Idol were both flat week-to-week. Week four of Rob dropped a troubling two tenths, then the hot Person of Interest hit another new high.
  • Week four of The Finder dropped double-digits against the full slate of competition. But its growth in its first three weeks appears to have been at least somewhat True; this is still certainly a better performance than its 2.2 in week two under similar circumstances. The Idol lead-in was a little weaker than two weeks ago.
  • As noted earlier this week, the best place to be on NBC is not airing. 30 Rock completely collapsed (though the drop was "just" 19% comparing it to last week's same-timeslot ep), The Office hit a new worst-since-season-one and Up All Night sits just a tenth ahead of the Whitney/Chelsea block despite its easier situation.

Not to mention The Firm tanking its way to Saturday Burn Off Theatre. Ironically, I'm probably more likely to watch it now than I was on Thursdays...
