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)
