TV Ratings: 'Dancing With the Stars' continues to dominate, 'Body of Proof' debuts strong

Time to Cancel “The Good Wife” Just look at Numbers. When a new “The Good Wife” faces new shows (not reruns), its 18-49 numbers are very low and will get any show canceled with these low numbers. A 1.9 demo rating is even worse considering its lead in had a 3.5 demo rating. “The Good Wife” drops 5.3 million viewers from its lead in, and the 18-49 demo drops from 3.5 to 1.9 from its lead in.

Add the fact that “The Good Wife” performs terribly with its reruns, its ratings have been dropping since its first year, “The Good Wife”does not have much chance for syndication dollars, and CBS needs space for their new shows that have a great chance of good ratings, it is time to cancel “The Good Wife”

10 p.m. "Body of Proof" averaged 13.85 million viewers and a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49 to win the 10 p.m. hour for ABC. "Good Wife" down to 9.985 million viewers and a 1.9 demo rating in second. NBC's new "Parenthood averaged 4.77 million viewers and did a 1.9 demo rating.

I hate seeing Traffic Light do so poorly. Its a very funny show!

I'm afraid its going to get the Red light instead of a green for a renewal. sucks.

Last night's episode of The Good Wife wasn't a rerun.

W O W! W O W! W O W! @ Body of Proof numbers. I wonder if that is the biggest premiere for a scripted drama this year or if H5-0 had a bigger audience. Heck, it might be the higest rated premiere of the season. I'm almost certain Secret Millionaire had about 13 million viewers max. for its premiere. If it holds like Secret Millionaire, it'll be ABC's 2nd consecutive double digit ratings hit this spring. Can they get the trifecta with Happy Endings is the next question?
Meanwhile, DWTS is just a monster hit ( nearly 13 million viewers for a recap show @ 8pm- LOL- D* AMN!!!) and 19 million for the elimination show( Wendy Williams better come correct next week).

Is it me or is this season of Biggest Loser really dragging out? Why is there still like 10+ contestants on there? This boring season is taking forever to close out.

Julia was right in her prediction last week. Her comments below

I also predict that "The Good Wife" will drop in viewers and ratings from here on out, then eventually be canceled. Only racists who like to watch poorly written daytime soap operas will watch this show now. Stop watching “The Good Wife” Lets stomp out Hatred and Bigotry!

They should rename “The Good Wife” to “Alicia and her unbelievable amount of tragedies one after another” or “The most racist program on television”. Wow has the writing on this show completely ruined a great show.

Everyone knows that Chris Noth (Peter Florrick) is not under contract with “The Good Wife” and is starring in This Championship Season on Broadway. Notice he was not in the last episode, and was not around much this year. So Alicia will be single soon. So sad the writers had to write Peter off the show by having him have an affair with Kalinda, wasn’t Peter sleeping with prostitutes enough? and having him become a racist, and having him turn away from his minister., Very poor writing, people will not watch a show with such a poor script.

Having Kalinda have an affair with Peter was also unfair to the Kalinda character. She was likeable and had so much depth before they added this gimmick.
Since Glen Childs dropped out of the campaign he will use the Kalinda and Peter’s affair to derail Peter’s campaign. Since Kalinda and Alicia are BFF this will cause more drama for Alicia, she will have to work with Kalinda who slept with her husband, she will have to deal with her BFF in like forever, sleeping with her husband, and she will run into the arms of Will (her boss) which she has wanted to do forever. Wow, “The Good Wife” now is a bad daytime soap that ran too long and ran out of good writing.
And I agree that the writers of this show are very racists by portraying any featured black male as a gangsters, drug dealers, or having ties to organized crime. How sad, this is a reason to stop watching “The Good Wife” alone.

Also the writers were very racists by saying that all soccer moms and the middle class blue collar white voters in Illinois are racists. By doing that they showed they are the true racists. Really the state that has U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun, and U.S. Senator and current U.S. President Barack Obama? Really the writers went there, how absolutely disgusting “The Good Wife” went there. “The Good Wife” has offended all Americans in one show. Shame on you!

Also I agree with Tyrone – “
Racist quotes like "The Florrick kids just really love black people." on a network show is unbelievable. Then the racist quotes against people who skin color is white does not balance it out. It just shows “The Good Wife” is very racist and promotes racism. If you dislike Racism, stop watching “The Good Wife”, stop buying the products of its sponsors Martin Luther King Jr one of his most famous quotes: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
