Bad week for Hank Azaria! Fox wants him to take a “Simpsons” pay cut and his new series “Free Agents” is the first sitcom to get cancelled this fall.
How the NBC shows rank:
(18-49 finals; repeats in grey; last week in parentheses)
7.7 (8.3)(10.0)(10.7) Sunday Night Football
3.5 (3.9) (1.4) (---) The Office
2.5 (3.3) (---) (---) Whitney
2.3 (2.1) (2.3) (3.7) Up All Night
2.1 (2.3) (3.6) (---) Biggest Loser
2.1 (2.1) (2.4) (---) Law & Order SVU
2.1 (2.1) (---) (---) Parks and Recreation
2.0 (2.2) (2.1) (2.2) Parenthood
1.8 (1.7) (0.6) (---) Community
1.8 (1.7) (1.9) (---) Sing-Off
1.6 (2.0) (1.5) (1.8) Dateline
1.5 (1.8) (---) (---) Prime Suspect
1.2 (1.2) (1.2) (---) Harry’s Law
1.2 (1.3) (1.6) (---) Playboy Club
1.0 (1.0) (1.3) (2.1) Free Agents
No word yet on what will replace “Agents” at 8:30 Wednesday nights but it might be repeats of “Whitney” until the midseason return of “30 Rock.”
It is slightly curious that NBC isn’t yet jettisoning “Harry’s Law” even though it pulls the same ratings as the cancelled “Playboy Club.”
