ABC's 'Malibu' solid in debut
Sandy telethon also draws viewers
By Jon Weisman

ABC sitcom ''Malibu Country'' premiered to respectable ratings for its
Friday timeslot, winning the 8:30 p.m. segment among broadcast nets,
according to preliminary nationals from Nielsen.

NBC's telethon for Hurricane Sandy relief tied for second place
between 8 and 9 p.m. in the 18-49 demo, although that program had
additional viewers from being simulcast on numerous cable outlets.

''Malibu Country,'' starring and exec produced by Reba McEntire, had a
2.2 rating and 7 share among viewers 18-49 and 8.9 million viewers
overall. It built upon its lead-in, the season-two premiere of ''Last
Man Standing'' (1.9/7, 7.8 million).

''Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together'' (1.5/5, 6.2 million), hosted by
Matt Lauer and featuring performances by Bruce Springsteen, Christina
Aguilera and Sting among others, matched the season premiere of CBS'
''Undercover Boss'' (1.5/5, 7.9 million) in the demo. By comparison,
''Boss'' delivered a 2.4/8 in 18-49 for a Friday timeslot premiere in
February.

The top-rated program of the night in 18-49 was ''Shark Tank'' (2.3/7,
7.3 million) for ABC, which won the night in the demo. CBS was tops in
overall viewers.

Who cares about the 8pm hour Friday. The 9pm hour is the one that matters.

Good job for Nikita doubling last week's demo, though that almost certainly
means that it will be adjusted down in the finals.

Meanwhile, it looks like Shark Tank won the 9pm hour...good job on ABC
moving it away from timeslot conflict with Undercover Boss.

Yes, its 0.2 was hard to believe last week. You'd think that more people
than that would watch a show just by accident.

Small numbers mean a lot of inherent error - that 0.2 was probably an erroneous result.

If a show is at a point where its rating is too small to be accurately
measured it's probably past the point where its rating matters.

Many people still didn't have power Friday night.

This was from the previous Friday night, so unfortunately that's not an
excuse. Nikita's demo number jumped to 0.4 on Friday, Nov. 2.

That was a horrible change. The character is unlikeable as is the baby
daddy. They appear to be trying to turn it into a remake of Archie Bunker.
They'd have been better off just dumping the older daughter and the kid or
keeping the original actress who was likeable. If they keep going to the
replacement and the dud baby daddy, I'll not be watching. When Reba is
better, someone screwed up.

We are talking about a group of people that watches 'LAST MAN STANDING', so
that was a given.

Oh, BS. It'd be worth watching for Tim Allen, alone. Nancy Travis and Hector Elizondo are certainly good on the show. Granted, I missed it Friday, and missed some of Season 1, but most of what I saw last season was pretty good.

FWIW, I liked Alexandra Krosney.
