GOOD WEEK: "CHICAGO FIRE"OK, so I know I just gave it to this show two weeks ago but it deserves it again after tying CSI in the demo for the first time ever. No one thought this show had a real chance against CSI and the much more buzzed Nashville. But it regularly beats Nashville and has its eye on CSI. Just to compare, Nashville premiered with a 2.8 demo on October 10 and it is down to a 1.8 demo, a full point drop. On that very same night and at the very same time, Chicago Fire debuted to a 1.9 demo and that is where it stands today. It is the overperformer of the year as far as I'm concerned because it seemed like NBC didn't even have huge hopes for it.
BAD WEEK: ABC THURSDAY AT 8PM
With the terrible 1.4 demo premiere of Zero Hour on Thursday night, ABC continues to be stuck in reverse in that hour despite a solid 1-2 punch of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal to close the night. Since the Fall of 2009, FlashForward, The Deep End, My Generation, Charlie's Angels, Missing, and Last Resort have all failed in the slot. And now it would take a miracle to not add Zero Hour to this list by the end of the season. I have said it before and I'll say it again, ABC should consider moving Dancing with the Stars/The Bachelor to Tuesday 8pm and then air the Dancing results on Thursday night. When Dancing takes its break, ABC can use filler until it comes back. I think it would shore up a slot that has been nothing short of a constant failure.
