Figures in grey represent repeats.
* “Scrubs” hit its worst number ever for a new episode while competing against repeats on the other four broadcast networks.
* Even fewer people watched the new episode of “Better Off Ted.”
* Slated against repeats of “Good Wife” and Oprah’s “Christmas in the White House,” “Leno” hit its worst Tuesday number to date.
* “Leno” followed a low-rated repeat of “Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?” While “Leno” always seems to perform best when following a reality show, this is clearly not the case when the reality show is a rerun.

Whoda thunk?

The next thing you'll tell me is that there are new movies in the theaters on Christmas Day. That's crazy talk, I tell you!
-
too many holiday activities to bother with TV. That and all the Christmas DVD's the family wants to watch kept us away from prime time.
-
And scrubs, you poor bastardized version of a previously good show. The time to call it a day has come and gone. Now your just a rotting corpse of a show.
-
True Jay may have gotten his lowest rating ever but he was in second place for his time slot. Every show in every time slot got beat out by CBS so I'd say he did good.
-
you son of a bitch.
-
Leno got a crappy rating, but then again everyone else did too. The NBC execs will take note of that.
-
For gawdsake, watch Ted.
-
there's always one more thing to get
-
Was an okay episode. Any ep with Maz Jobrani is worth watching. The plots on this one were a little too... normal. Linda learns a very important lesson in life. Lem resolves issues with his mother. Even Veronica seemed kinda subdued. Although giving testosterone to her sister was good.
However, it's not like people tune out in the middle of an episode and ratings plummet. Any given episode's quality doesn't matter except as a general trend. ABC has to advertise it BEFORE it airs. And I mean more than three minutes before the new episode premiere. -
but all network TV is dying a horrible fiery death. Cable is where the quality is.
-
than with the crapstation of abc and their pitiful marketing and scheduling.
-
Cause my wife and I had a running bet as to how many of his monologue jokes we'd laugh at. Loser would go down on the other. I'd always win cause I'd bet on 0
-
It's like a week late. Jeez.
-
all those shows are just terrible and anyone who enjoys any of them just lack intelligence. but anyway on to my point.....many reality shows get huge ratings out the gate so networks now expect every show to do that well and of course they all dont. some shows do need time to grow but arent given the chance. and then not to mention how much cheaper reality tv is to make vs. a scripted show. i'm fairly confident had this whole reality tv phase not happened, network tv wouldnt be doing so badly...........unless you aired on Fox, they've always been terrible.
-
gee, that seems like a win/win situation to me. :P
-
but it's not necessarily a crappy rating, at least in NBC's eyes. The network says if he can average a 1.5, the network makes $300 million annually.
But I think I also heard the NBC affiliate in Baltimore saw a 54% (!) plunge in its late newscast's viewership since Leno's primetime launch. Other affiliates have suffered significant hits to their bottom line as well, as has NBC's own Conan/Fallon late-night line-up. These are the factors that might lead to the Leno's cancellation, not Leno's ratings in themselves. (This assumes of course Leno can keep its average above 1.5 -- by no means a certainty at this point.) -
Hell yeah win/win. No complaints trust me
-
First few seasons, Garden State (Even Chicken Little, ha!) found ZB amusing... What's Zack going to do next... And, without half the cast, SCRUBS 'Med School' FLUNKS OUT.
-
What a shock.
That said, Scrubs is AWFUL now that they re-tooled the show. Leno's show has always been awful.
Better Off Ted is the funniest thing on TV these days...more people need to watch it... -
I love scrubs, even this new season is fine with me. (holy crap that blonde australian chick is hot) but its definately done this year.
-
agree the aussie chick is smokin'. but the show is just terrible now. they made JD even more of a bitch than they had let him become in the last couple seasons. And none of the students are very likable. Now that Braff is off the show I won't be watching it. It used to be one of my favorite shows, but now it is just sad.
-
Morons who watch reality shows are the same morons who watch Leno. I'm not surprised, but it's nice to hear somebody else say it, thanks Herc.
-
I teach high school, so I often hear about what the students are watching on TV or movies, and I wish I could recommend Ted to them. But I live in a pretty conservative area and some of the raunchier stuff is not really suitable for children. That's one thing working against Ted is its unfriendliness to family viewing.
And the raunch isn't even the main source of comedy in that show. -
...Someone with timid sensibilities reads this forum?!? Ha!
Ted is awesome and you should tell all the children you know to watch it. Or the devil will eat them in their sleep. -
I loved how the old series ended last year - it actually felt like Scrubs again, the final episode was spot-on perfect. This new season is just awful, and I don't care about any of these people.
-
Why would they think making Scrubs a series revolving around a bunch of unlikeable and uninteresting characters would be funny. Even JD, Turk, and Dr. Cox have become even more of charactures of themselves. Scrubs is going to go out with a whimper.

Serves ABC right.

They have movies now that you can watch at home
by anything but tangerines
they have better actors, better directors, much better in general- and get this, no commercials. you can pick which ones you want to watch anytime and when you're done, you can actually keep them or give them to friends. Look at the back of your glow box and you'll see many plugs that will open new world for you. the case for watching TV grows weaker by the year, folks. get your news off the net and your entertainment from disc media.
-
You won't find drama like Mad Men or comedy like Community in movies anymore. Movies still does spectacle well though, I give it that.

I always find these "!!!" filled ratings posts kind of silly...
by novaman5000
ESPECIALLY when they occur during a holiday week. Like any network seriously looks at the ratings of Christmas and Thanksgiving weeks as a barometer of anything...
-
of the funniest shows going. "It takes a village to destroy a village." This show has got some of the best lines and timing on TV.
-
It's pending cancellation as we speak...
-
...in these days when everyone has TIVO and DVRs and webcasting and, yes, even torrents (gasp!), ratings don't mean a thing!?! People aren't watching on the network's schedules anymore, they're watching on their OWN schedules!
-
No Sarah Chalke equals no Scrubs for me, plus it changed too much, I love/hate the new show, heavy on the hate.
-
What, does the "Biggest Loser" in the title refer to the people who double dip in this stuff?
-
I'll absolutely miss it, but I guess a second season in itself was a blessing...
-
i read they are gonna start airing two episodes a week for both shows in january...all on one night! so you'll have scrubs at 8 followed by ted and then another scrubs at 9 followed by another ted after. more is awesome but they are likely just getting rid of the episodes they have to fullfill whatever contacts.
-
No I don't think it's too raunchy myself and if I had high school age kids I'd be fine with it. The community standards around here at least make it tough to recommend, as a teacher.
Maybe I'm too cautious. I can live with that. -
Advertisers may be slightly less interested in viewers who watch on DVR. Becaue those viewers skip past the advertisers' commercials.
-
We hardly knew thee.
-
It's "Worst ratings of the decade." Get it right.
-
Leno needs to be moved to the morning/soap opera time frame or cancelled. He is not funny at all. Southpark is nothing more than shit/fart/puke/snot jokes. It's time to cancel it too.
-
They need to move it to a better night with a better lead-in.
-
Nope, that's not it. But keep on trying... :)
-
I think I was one of the five people that watched the lowest rated ever scrubs on tuesday. Scrubs has been one of my all time favorite TV shows, but this new season is sad. It has outlived its expiration date. The spark is gone. No Elliot, Carla, Janitor, and now Ted is gone. Sad, just sad......
-
It still looks like his numbers are going down though. Where will they stabilize?
-
Agreed with poster above. The networks went for easy money with all the reality Tv programming crap, and it turned more people off network TV permanently. Now they can't get those people back, now matter how many 'Biggister Idiot' reality shows they try.
-
He just sucks! Not funny!
-
you forgot about doctor cox. but the janitor was the best character on that show. I got bored watching the endless repeats of Scrubs.
-
While I agree with the few opinions that say this show has died a little- I still want it to be good. I like Cox and Turk enough to give the Med School variation a chance. Janitor was/is my favorite on that show (Neil Flynn's NEW show - The Middle - is actually pretty funny.)Also I'm actally looking forward to what Zach Braff produces now that he doesn't have a TV schedule holding him down.
Back the subject: Long Live SCRUBS!
(Scrubs:Med School) Live....long enough for us to get to know it.'
Dave Franco is hilarious. -
What a terrible mistake to bring this show back.
-
wake me when lost comes back
