Spotted Ratings, Friday 4/4/14


WHAT MATTERS:
  • The return of Unforgettable (1.0) on CBS to play out the rest of season two was not really anything special in either direction, matching its last couple episodes from the summer. It'll be a worse option than Undercover Boss, but that was not unexpected.
  • Fox said goodbye to Raising Hope (0.6) with a one-hour finale. This pathetic number was sadly still the show's best rating since February. It got an assist from Kitchen Nightmares (0.7), which even in repeat mode (a week before its original return) was a big upgrade on the usual Rake numbers.
  • Almost everything else was down a tick or two week-to-week. If this was a big deal for anyone, it'd be NBC, where Grimm (1.4) was down a tick and Hannibal (0.8) was down two. Blue Bloods (1.5) and 20/20 (1.5) were the only week-to-week growers, with the latter benefiting from the original return of Shark Tank (1.9). A downward adjustment made things look really ugly for Hart of Dixie (0.2).

It's my own fault, in a way. I should've watched Hope and Hannibal. Instead I watched Chase.

Chase Elliott, that is.

No Question about Rake's finale on Saturday?!?!?!

I would have thought that Hannibal would have at least held steady with Grimm returning. Instead it dropped. Though Dateline skews older, I wonder if the true crime angle that Dateline frequently utilizes makes it a better lead-in tonally for Hannibal than supernatural Grimm.

It will get raked up w/ the rest of the detritus.

That is all. [drops mic]

While the compatibility with the lead-in is a reasonable possibility, another one is that Hannibal shares less of an audience with the baseball games than it does with Blue Bloods, which at least in preliminaries had a spike this week.
