Sunday, September 29, 2013 ratings — Premieres: 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race, The Simpsons, Once Upon a Time, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, Revenge, The Good Wife, American Dad! Betrayal, and The Mentalist. Sports: Football Night in America, NFL Football: Redskins at Raiders, and NFL Football: Patriots at Falcons. Specials: Once Upon a Time: Journey to Neverland.
As you can see, all of the returning shows were down year-to-year, thanks to football and the Breaking Bad series finale. It also translated to a lousy start for the new Betrayal series. Compared to the premiere of 666 Park Avenue, ABC was down by 29% in the demo (vs a 2.1 rating) and 23% in viewership (vs 6.9 million).

It’s an unpopular opinion, but I liked “Betrayal.” I understand all the flaws the critics hated about it, but I still gave it a shot. I knew it wasn’t going to do well, so I did not get attached. I don’t see the ratings going up this Sunday. It would be a miracle if it did. Ever since DHWs ended, ABC cannot find a show to fill that time slot! What do people want? A superhero show? A drug dealing show? A zombie show? A cartoon? What is it? Stuart Townsend also cannot get a television hit! He should just… Read more »
Revenge is the most underrated show on television and I prefer it far better than The Good Wife. I think Revenge also brings great acting talent such as Madeleine Stowe who is a class act! I enjoy watching Revenge for my Sunday night dose of suspense tv!! Good show ABC! I wish it would get moved back to its Wednesday night time slot, I feel it was better off on Wednesday night.
Given the populace’s obsession with football (I am not the least bit interested in it) – all the shows seem to be fine. I liked all of ABC’s shows, including “Betrayal” (even if I was secretly wishing it was season 2 of “666 Park Avenue”). The ratings are always the same at 10pm Sunday on ABC – it won’t matter what they put on – unless it’s a zombie apocalypse drama (there’s a thought ABC – maybe that’s the way to go – into genre, be it horror or SciFi – you’d get higher ratings and in the demo).

So, I gave Betrayal a chance last night and I am intrigued enough to watch it at least for the first few episodes. For one, the Director of the Pilot, which aired last night, did not return for another episode thusfar in Season One. In fact almost the entire Production staff has completely changed. The Director, DP, Gaffers and Grips are all entirely different from the Pilot. Now will this make all of the issues better? No, and I’m not saying it will, but new Directors and a new DP will certainly change the feel of this drama, that shows,… Read more »
