An already bad month is getting worse for NBC. For the first time in sweeps history, the network is projected to finish fifth in the key adults 18-49 demographic. That’s a crushing blow for NBC...
snip...
From the beginning of the February sweep on January 31 through February 19, NBC has averaged a 1.2 rating among adults 18-49. That’s below the 1.5 that Univision has been averaging so far over the 20 night of the sweep period. In fact, Univision has bested NBC every single night of the sweep so far among adults 18-49 and is poised to overtake NBC for its first fourth-place sweep finish in the demo.

NBC falling behind the Spanish-language Univision in the February ratings book.
Perhaps more liberalism is the answer.
IF THEY GET ANY MORE LIBERAL THEY’LL BE BROADCASTING FROM CARACAS!.......
At this rate their local stations will be pre-empting the prime-time schedule for infomercials and reruns of Get Smart
Gilligan’s Island.........perhaps I missed an episode or two..........
Gay-Powered TV
I’ve never seen a network so obsessed,, well, except for c-more-bs and Bravo and selling LA
more liberalism is the answer.

as aRnie used to say, Latino babes are so Hot Hot Hot! they may not give your brain much exercise watching ‘em .. but.. uhhh..
I predict they'll do an hour a week of replaying Soviet Mayday parades.
My thanks to whoever invented the mute button. Listening to Primer Impacto is like spending time on a chicken farm.
I just remotely scrolled through the NBC prime time lineup. How much more irrelevant could it get?
Or Pyongyang, North Korea.
No Body Cares
What? Americans don’t want to watch gay men with children? Go figger.
I haven’t watched a lot of prime time tv since I was a teenager though I did watch NCIS until they put Jamie Lee Curtis on it last year. blech If I missed NCIS when it aired on Tuesday night, then I would watch on the internet or On Demand. But after Jamie Lee Curtis made her second appearance and I read she would be a regular, I quit watching. Who wants to see Gibbs have a romance with his brother? lol
My teenagers like some of the shows on USA, but the main characters of those shows are gay men (in real life) pretending to be straight. I would rather read a book. Or hit refresh every ten minutes on the internet to see if Freerepublic is back online. I watched Covert Affairs for a while, but I decided scratching my fingernails on a chalkboard would be a better use of time. Who writes that stuff?????
“NBC falling behind the Spanish-language Univision in the February ratings book. Perhaps more liberalism is the answer.”
They need more gays, cross-dressing kids, christian bashing, unfunny hacks (Tina Fey), and maybe a musical number about Obama?
I felt the same way.
Good point.
Perhaps more “STOP BULLYING GAYS” commercials are in order. LOL!!! The best show on television is TOP GEAR (British one not American one) and it’s on BBC America.. OUTSTANDING SHOW!!! Even gals not into cars will LOVE these guys and their British humor!!! WATCH IT!!!!
Good stories, uplifting, well written and well acted.
It's on ch 188 Dish. But I don't know what GMC stands for ....
The boycott is working.
Ahhhhhh....NBC. Bravely standing on the deck of their sinking Titanic network telling everyone they think a brisk dip in the ocean will do them good.
“Full speed ahead, Bob! Maybe we can jump over the iceberg like Fonzie!”
More and more people I know are just dropping cable they use the internet and tend to do more around the house and read more. I was a voracious reader before we dropped cable and now since we cut the cord I've read 6 books in a little over a week. Got a bunch more storage shelves built for much needed storage space and got a huge chunk of writing finished and ready for my "first reader" and his critique.
I Wish I'd canceled it 20 years ago!
I think the reason NBC and everyone else is losing viewers is because their business model isn't working AND they spend less money on making good programming and spend more money on promoting the crap they do make. It seemed like every channel I watched the commercial breaks were for other TV shows and maybe one Consumer goods ad and maybe a Car ad. How can they sustain a business model when all the do is promote their product with ad space that used to be for paying customers like McDonalds and Pepsi? Its like TV ads are one big circle jerk.
I noticed AMC would put teaser ads for the Walking Dead in their other TV shows to try and raise viewership.
Why not get the people who make good TV and pay them more to make MORE good TV? No instead lets put another stupid ass show that has some "alternate lifestyle" couple who is oh so much more intelligent than the straight people on the show.
One of the reasons I think the Walking Dead is so popular is they haven't had the obligatory "Gay/Lesbian" character yet. Not because people hate such characters but because its become such a cliche now to have one in every show.
No need to worry NBC....there’s always curling ;)
"Missed fourth place by THAT much ...."
Who needs brain exercise? :)
Since you asked (okay, you didn’t...)
“The New Normal” finished third from last in Tuesday night’s overall rankings. But it did kick butt on CW’s series premiere of “Cult”.
I watch “The Mentalist” and that’s about it for primetime television.
Jeremy Clarkson is a raging Tory and Top Gear is the best show on TV bar none.
When founded, GMC stood for Gospel Music Channel.
A salute, my friend. :)
Never seen that show, but NBC’s “Dateline†has sometimes been quite good. I used to watch “America’s Most Wanted†but no longer can find it. I recommend Jeanine Pirro’s show on Fox.
Doesn’t NBC own Univision??
Spoiler! :)
Might as well broadcast from the Kermlin.
No. From Wiki:
Univisión was acquired on March 29, 2007 by a consortium led by Haim Saban’s Saban Capital Group (who had previously owned the entity Saban Entertainment), TPG Capital, L.P., Providence Equity Partners, Madison Dearborn Partners, and Thomas H. Lee Partners for $13.7 billion or $36.25 per share plus $1.4 billion in acquired debt. The buyout left the company with a debt level of twelve times its annual cash flow, which was twice the norm in buyouts done over the previous two years.
NBC Universal does own Telemundo, however.
They saw the multi-colored peacock logo and thought it was a rainbow sticker.
Izzat where Kermit lives?...........
I figured I could watch it all at once if someone tells me it is worth it. I think I saw one episode this last Fall, but I can’t remember what happened. (did Tony’s dad spend Christmas with him? was that this season?)
The only show from NBC that I can think of from memory, is the “The Office”, and I quit watching that 2-3 years ago after it jumped the shark.
The sooner this liberal dish rag tanks and is bought off and fires the socialists running it the better....I knew there was going to be some good news today!!!!
They overplayed the Jim-Pam thing to the point I couldn’t watch an episode without wanting to puke or suffer douche-chills.
thanks, that makes my day.
Unfortunately, all of the networks should be last IMO
The first list is the 18-49 viewers...
check out the total viewers list. Not a single NBC show in the top 25
I watch FX a lot Justified is a great series, it also has Two and a Half Men and Anger Management if you like Charlie Sheen!!!
lol.
Just cancel NBC and get it over with
