10 Ratings Blurbs 7/10/13 Edition


Thank goodness I was able to get this up tonight because I was not looking forward to waiting yet another day for just a few shows.

1. Hit the Floor (2.230 million 1.1)- After some weeks of growing, it’s starting to look like the show is going to be stuck here for the remainder of the season. The numbers are still good so now it’s just up to VH1 to decide when they want to officially renew the show.

2. Pretty Little Liars (2.157 million 0.9)- This drop has to be a little worrying. The gap between this and Switched at Birth/The Fosters is not as big as it once was and with the 2 Monday shows looking like they are forming a nice duo, one has to wonder what will become of the show that can't find a partner but won't be exiting anytime soon.

3. So You Think You Can Dance (4.38 million 1.5)- Like last year this show is the lowest rated of the veteran summer reality shows on FOX. Unlike last year there is no break for the Olympics that can be blamed for the poor numbers so who knows what will happen to this show.

4. Totally Royal Tots (271,000 0.1)- VH1 should really stop throwing up random specials about nothing. Really I only put this here because I want to see how their Sunday lineup of Hollywood Exes and La La’s Full Court Life fare next week and I would want to believe that both shows can at least pull 600k. It would be a disaster if that doesn't happen

5. The Game (3.589 million 1.7)- Outside of this being a premiere and being light on actual shows to talk about this week I can’t say I have much to say about this show. The ratings will drop right back down to just over 2 million viewers and hover around a 1.0 demo just like it always does. The premieres always manage to do well.

6. Devious Maids (2.533 million 0.9)- This little uptick is a good sign for the show. While I believe that declarations of this show being a hit are premature, I do believe that the potential to be a hit show is certainly there.

7. The Killing (1.616 million 0.5)- I’m still not yet sure what to make of these numbers. They are a little better compared to the very beginning of the season but they also haven’t improved to a point where they would make AMC regret having this show on the chopping block on the first place. I haven’t been keeping track of the episodes so I don’t know how many more episodes are left to air this season but I would be surprised if AMC makes any kind of decision before the end of the season.

8. America’s Got Talent (9.56 million 2.4)- This is not the show it once was a few summers ago. It still does decently enough to get a pass so you won’t hear complaints from NBC but with the decline of all talent shows recently, you have to wonder if the fatigue people speak of is finally here.

9. Philly 4th of July Jam (236,000 0.1)- Nothing much to see here. It’s a holiday special that actually aired on the holiday. I would have been surprised if it got more viewers than it did. People decided to stick to the marathons on the 4th.

10. Hollywood Exes (1.784 million 0.9)- I guess this show did about as well as could be expected. Perhaps it should have added another 200-300k to this number because it needed all the help it could get to pad that average for when it moves to Sundays.

I haven't had cable for quite awhile so kind of lost. Who in the heck are those "women" on the pic?

That's the cast of Hollywood Exes but I'm not very good with their names. All I know is that the one in the purple dress is Eddie Murphy's ex-wife and the one on the far right is new to the cast.
