Here’s a cumulative list of the standings of each of the five broadcast networks, with detailed breakdown/rankings at the on the new shows. Like all grades these are averages over time. And they reflect an equal compilation of an artistic grade (purely subjective) to an interpretation of ratings performance (mostly subjective). If grades were equal, I ranked the artistically scoring one higher.
New Dramas
- FOX: B
- The CW: C+
- CBS: C+
- ABC: C**
- NBC: C-**
It’s fairly easy for FOX to score so well, when they only have one new drama (
Terra Nova) this fall and it’s not doing too badly in the numbers. Both ABC and NBC have as yet to premiere their fairy tale dramas. While I expect NBC’s average score to lower with the performance (both artistically and ratings-wise) of
Grimm, I am hopeful that
Once Upon a Time may improve things not only for ABC but
Pan Am as well. CBS has to be a bit concerned with the demo ratings of
Person of Interest, as it is dragging their average down a bit.
New Comedies- FOX: A-**
- ABC: B-**
- NBC: C
- CBS: C-
- The CW: F
FOX again has only premiered one of their three fall comedies at this point, the highly successful
New Girl, so it’s easy for them to be on top. At the time of the ABC posting, a second showing of
Last Man Standing had not aired, and
Man Up had not premiered. I would expect that score to go down some.
Last Man Standing held onto most of its audience from premiere week, dropping only 12% or so;
Man Up premiered a little softer than ABC would have hoped, and had quite a bit of drop off at the midway point. NBC and CBS suffer because they both have cancelled a comedy, pulling their average down fairly quickly; if their cancelled comedies weren't included their averages would be NBC: C+ and CBS: B. The CW gets an F merely because they don’t air comedies at this time.
Returning Dramas
- CBS: C+
- NBC: C+**
- FOX: C**
- ABC: C-
- The CW: C-
If all of CBS dramas didn’t feel the same artistically, then their returning drama score would be much, much higher. They have the top 10 rated dramas on broadcast television, almost all of them returning programs. NBC’s average could go up or down. Their last show to debut is
Chuck, and while artistically usually a very strong show, the ratings won’t be too great. They never have been. FOX has yet to air
Bones, but it should raise their returning drama score some. ABC has far too many returning shows with diminishing results.
Returning Comedies
- ABC: B+
- CBS: B+
- NBC: B
- FOX: C+
- The CW: F
ABC, CBS and NBC all have single nights of artistically successful, returning comedies. Of the three CBS is weakest artistically, and NBC is the strongest. Ratings-wise, NBC blows chunks while CBS is the strongest. ABC is a very happy medium. FOX’s returning Sunday night Animation Domination is showing major signs of age with a strong slipping in the ratings (NBC’s Football programming isn’t helping matters either). Again, The CW don’t do no comedy.
Reality Programming- CBS: B+
- ABC: C+
- NBC: C+**
- The CW: D
- FOX: Incomplete**
Oh, Reality TV, such a relatively new and important genre. Networks are anxious to give up huge percentages of their prime time because you cost so little and can return so much. But in order to be done right. CBS has the gold standard of reality programming, and gives over little prime time to the venture (4 out of 22 hours--18% of their programming). ABC's score rises and falls on the casting of Dancing With the Stars; they also have a full slate of reality shows for Friday night they haven't unleashed yet (6 of 22 hours--27% of their programming). NBC is so thankful for Football on Sunday nights, but they have to endure underperformers like
The Biggest Loser and
The Sing Off (9, soon to be 10, of 22 hours--40-45% of their programming). The CW sticks with dramas and their reality score indicates that's not a bad idea (2 of 10 hours--20% of their programming). When Fox is finally graded, then I would expect their score to shoot up to the upper tiers as
The X Factor is doing more than fine in the ratings (5 of 15 hours--33% of their programming).
