The Tuscon memorial and President Obama speech really messed with the ratings Wednesday night. The memorial aired from 8:30-9:30 on all networks so we’ll skip those.
ABC had an interesting night. “The Middle” hit season highs at 8 pm, while “Off the Map” stumbled out of the gate, which could be attributed to the confusion over the memorial. To make matters stranger, ABC aired 21 minutes of a “Modern Family” after the previous original ended late due to the memorial. ABC will reair “Off the Map” tonight after a new “Grey’s Anatomy.”
At 10, “The Defenders” was a bust. No question that CBS will cancel the procedural.
Ratings from 8:30-9:30 are omitted; the memorial speech by President Obama drew 31 million viewers across all networks.
