NBC bubble drama Constantine wrapped its freshman run on Friday night with 3.1 million total viewers and a 0.8 rating, up 6 percent in audience while flat in the demo.
Leading out of that, Grimm (4.7 mil/1.1) dipped a tenth in the demo.
Elsewhere….
CBS | Undercover Boss (8.5 mil/1.2) added some eyeballs but dipped a tenth in the demo. Hawaii Five-0 (9.5 mil/1.1) slipped two tenths, while Blue Bloods (11.3 mil/1.3) was steady.
ABC | Leading out of a Charlie Brown special (damn that bully always taunting the Little Red-Haired Girl!), which at 4.5 mil/1.0 underperformed vs. the usual Last Man/Cristela line-up, Shark Tank (7.7 mil/1.8) held steady in audience but slipped two tenths in the demo.
FOX | Funniest Fails (2.4 mil/0.8) was flat, while Glee (1.8 mil/0.6) ticked up a tenth.
Where are the CW’s ratings?
Some movie or something was on. I’m not that much a completist.
Yeah, no Hart of Dixie last night. Shouldn’t there be a Valentine’s Day town dance or something
If you’d like to know it was Safety Not Guaranteed, whatever the hell that is. With a 0.2 rating. (lol)
Here’s hoping that Constantine gets renewed
Fat chance. A freshman fall show that had to halt production, no back nine order and ratings below a 1.0 is not going to see a second season on network television.
One thing to consider is that every other show NBC made a decision about they made clear this year. I really don’t see a reason to assume that they’d lie until the last minute about Constantine, I think the most likely story is that they are considering options… Which is better than nothing I suppose. But it’s been more steady than not especially in DVR numbers so I’m hoping that at least could be a factor in making the rumored network jump to something like Syfy a reality.
Syfy senior executive Ted A’Zary recently tweeted that Constantine will not be moving to Syfy. He’s not sure where those rumors even originated but I do….delusional fans.
They had to halt production to reshoot & recut the pilot, and it was stated by NBC that the delay had removed the possibility of a back nine order because there would not be enough episodes aired for evaluation by their deadline. Renewal would be based on the eps aired. Frankly, considering the rocky start, the show needed a bit more publicity to up it’s numbers on Friday. The show itself recovered nicely, and got better and better in quality as it went.
Recovered nicely? Constatine is a new show that been pulling in 0.8s for the last few weeks. It will not be back.
I’m keeping hope alive with you. The numbers on it are the same as Hannibal’s first season. If NBC wants to continue putting more new material on during summer months, I think it would be a fine addition.
The difference is that Hannibal had tons of critical acclaim, so NBC chose to stick with it. TV shows usually need at least one, wither ratings or critical acclaim, to survive. And Constantine doesn’t really have either. I think it has a chance of surviving but I wouldn’t bet on it.
I hope they give another 13 order for Constantine. I really like that show. It got better every week and the finale cliffhanger was just enough to want to see how it can play out.
Agreed. It showed such improvement in quality, and toughed it out on Friday.
CBS should re-air the original Hawaii 5-0 episodes in the same time slot as the current Hawaii Five-0! I bet it gets double the ratings since the original is a much better show all around. The current Hawaii Five-0 just has technology and no connection to crime solving in the scripts. It just technology told use this in the last 6 minute of the show; so they go out and arrest that person(s). It all DNA most part! In summary; bunch of crappy episodes based on technology findings. No crime solving like the old show and real police work!
I do not watch the episode in that way
They’d never schedule reruns of a decades old show. That’s what cable is for and the CBS All Access program.
One thing I learned from last night’s episode of Hawaii Five-O: I won’t put butter on my coffee.
My wife said she knows people who do it, but it has to be real butter. I’m like you I’ll pass.
Goodbye Constantine, see you in hell I guess!
