Good Luck Charlie did AMAZING late night. Plus, it was a rerun!!! Disney’s best show
Yay, Charmed is on the list! The CW should reconsider the spin-off with Wyatt and Chris, with Supernatural probably ending in the next 2 years, it could be a great replacement.
Wow, USA’s The Moment could not even crack this rating list. Kurt Warner’s a great guy, but glad to see another ‘reality’ show flop.
Not really surprised to not see Disney’s premieres on the list at all: the scheduled Jessie premiere got pulled, Phineas and Ferb was an afterthought to its character’s appearance on Shark Tank, and Fish Hooks is probably the channel’s weakest show right now.
Another increase for Da Vinci’s Demons. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to give a second season.

Wonder how awful ‘Maron’ on IFC is doing (but it is on IFC, on a friday night!).
I bet Maron will be a bigger hit on Netflix.It is like Louie with famous comedic guest stars ever week (and the return of Judd Hirsch!.Missed him since Dear John went off the air)
garsh!!! NHL where the heck are u, c’mon!! – there was no NBA so why aren’t you DOMINATING the night!!!
I thought you were breathing down the NBA’s neck …LOL!

Any ratings update for Copa Del Rey Final on ESPN on Friday afternoon between Real Madrid vs. Athletico Balboa? Thanks
45 shows more popular (in the 19-49 adult demo) than the NHL playoffs, including multiple “Robot Chicken” and “Squidbillies” (what he heck are those anyway?) – that’s real progress there folks because last year it was 66. However if you look across all demographics though its many more than 45, que lastima!!!

Wanna Google “Alexis Norman” and see why hockey struggles in America? … its a foreign thing and is simply not american. The attempts to force Americans to be interested in this foreign game is demonstrated by this Canadian woman disrespecting and ‘murdering’ our world-reknowned national anthem at a hockey game.
I am really surprised to only see one episode of the Super Natural marathon make the list. TNT had the marathon from 10 am to 8 PM on Friday.
