9/24 Thursdays Night Primetime TV Broadcast Predictions



Thursday 9/24 Predictions


It's Premiere week for Thursday and the only networks that have original programs are ABC, CBS and NBC.  ABC Thursdays features the #TGIT Drama shows, CBS with NFL, and NBC with their revised Thursday Fall line up of the 2 hour season premiere of the revival series "Heroes Reborn" and New Series "The Player."  






















FOX was too scared to air Bones and Sleepy Hollow this week show they decided to air an encore on Scream Queens and The CW won't air original episodes of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals until October.  Check out by predictions and comment on how you think the shows will do! Thanks! 








#TGIT is Back but ratings will be lower this year from last year








Grey’s Anatomy 2.5-2.7




The show just said goodbye to one of its main characters since the series premiere.  I predict the show will be up from its finale which got a 2.2 finale, because of the #TGIT Promotion, but down for its 3.1 premiere. Throughout the 11th season, the show has stayed steady around a 2.3-2.6. 



Grey’s will also have 25 episodes this season which is most episodes the series has gotten since the 3rd season.     





Scandal


Tough call but I’m saying 2.5-2.9



Scandal enters its 5th season and even though last season it was one of ABC’s top drama and scripted shows, the ratings declined toward the end of the season.  Last season, Scandal premiered to a 3.8 series high, went as low as a 2.1 midseason and ended the 4th season off with a 2.3. 







Once How to Get Away With Murder ended in February, that ended the full night of #TGIT and American Crime took over Murder’s timeslot.  One can say that American Crime was the downfall of Scandal since the Crime series did not do better than a 2.0 after Scandal 3.2 lead-in.  Or another could say that the writing from Scandal wasn’t interesting and lost viewers.








Even though the show has seen its worst ratings since the 1st season and the beginning of the 2nd season, again with the #TGIT promotion, Scandal should be up from its finale back in May.
* Scandal has been reduce to 21 episodes this year down from last season’s 22 episode order.   







How To Get Away With Murder
2.6-3.0





Out of the #TGIT night, Murder is my favorite show and I’m pumped to see the second season.  The show is currently ABC’s top drama show dethroning Scandal and with Viola Davis being the 1st African American Actress to win Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series, you can bet viewers will tune into show. 







Murder opened up with a 3.8 demo tying with Scandal and ended with a 2.8.  The only TGIT series to stay in the mid 2.0 due to only having 15 episodes.  If it had a full season order, the ratings might have gone lower.








I don’t believe the show will crack a 3.0, but I do think the show can potentially be the top #TGIT show of the night as well a top scripted series too.
*Murder will consist of 15 episodes this season (same from last year).











Thursday NFL

Nothing Greater than a 7.0





NFL will win the night because Football always wins!







Heroes Reborn
1.7-2.2



The return of Heroes will lead the night for NBC with a 2 Hour Premiere.  Reborn is a revived series from the 2006-2010 hit series Heroes.  This season some of the original character will be back on the show but there will also be new characters.  









IDS the show preforming that well because the back in February 2010, the series ended with a 2.0. It also faces CBS’s NFL and ABC’s #TGIT which are top certain to be the top shows for the night.  Nowadays, a 2.0 is good for show, but I doubt the show will be a keeper for NBC because NBC’s freshman scripted series don’t make it past their first season.  Also, after seeing how Scream Queens performed I doubt a 2 hour premiere is necessary.  





The Player

1.1 at Best DOA






I don’t see Heroes Reborn helping The Player at 10:00pm.  Again based on NBC history of having a poor drama series at 10:00pm, I don’t see this show lasting long.  I personally believe it will be NBC first show to be cancelled!


The Player = DOA = Death on Arrival





NBC has decided to Benched The Blacklist this week of an extra Hour of Heroes Reborn.  Next Week The Blacklist will Premiere Thursday October 1st at 9:00pm on NBC!  















Scream Queens (R)
0.8



 Scream Queens opened up with low ratings this past Tuesday (1.7 demographics) and I don’t see airing a repeat with boost the ratings next week!

















The Vampire Diaries (R)

The Originals (R)








New seasons of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals premieres October 8th, 2 weeks from now on THE CW (Dare to Defy)
