TV ratings: 'NCIS' beats 'Dancing' Tuesday, 'Body of Proof' steady

Can't wait for next week's season finale of "Parenthood". This family drama is definitely must - see.

Hahaha GOOD WIFE isnt gonna be cancelled. They finally have a show that doing ok in that time slot and they have a critically acclaimed show on their hand.
I finally started watching a show on CBS because of Good wife. One of the best shows on television HANDS DOWN!!!

The numbers say it is time to cancel CBS “The Good Wife”. Last night’s 2.0 18-49 rating left them in third in the time slot behind ABC “Body of Proof” and NBC “Parenthood”. Also another huge drop from their lead in CBS NCIS: LOS ANGELES 3.3 18-49 rating, is sure to get CBS “The Good Wife” a cancellation notice.

All this on a night when NCIS: Los Angeles beat ABC: "Dancing With the Stars" in the 18-49 ratings.

CBS “The Good Wife” has been dropping in the ratings, and lately have been around the 1.8 to 2.0 ratings for 18-49, even with a terrific lead in show. These numbers will get a show canceled on any network, but on CBS they will be sure to get a show canceled. The numbers say CBS “The Good Wife” will be canceled; CBS has no choice but to cancel CBS “The Good Wife”

CBS: “The Defenders" CBS: ""Blue Bloods" CBS: "Chaos" CBS: "The Good Wife" Will all be canceled. Their 18-49 ratings are all very low and dropping, CBS has a lot of new shows lined up and need space in their schedule, “"Blue Bloods" and "The Good Wife" are both very expensive to make and lose money plus they have no syndication value

CBS “The Good Wife” writers have become so bad, they have made the show for brainless people. The storylines don’t make sense and they keep heaping the problems on poor poor Alicia, making her look weaker and dumber every show, how pathetic. CBS “The Good Wife” is also a great show for Perverts. The old man Eli trying to get young student illegal nanny Natalie Flores in a sexual relationship. Using his power to stop her from being deported, and then trying to get her in a relationship is right out of the pervert handbook. Ewww, Uckkkk Spoiler: in an upcoming CBS “The Good Wife” Chris Hansen from NBC “To Catch a Predator” will bust the pervert Eli trying to have a sexual relationship with young student illegal nanny Natalie.

The whole Leela plot line is weak, in my opinion. Why are they pretending that no one named Leela ever existed and all traces of her have vanished? Wouldn't everybody who worked with Peter and Kalinda (when she was called Leela) at the D.A. office know who she is? Wouldn't they wonder why their co-worker/friend changed her name? Confused | April 13, 2011 2:13 AM
@Chrissy I agree, the co-workers at States attorney's office should be knowing Kalinda was leela. I remember a time when Kalinda actually goes to a friend/ex-colleague in state attorney's office to get some intel and Glen childs prohibits that girl from helping Kalinda. Guru | April 13, 2011 3:46 AM
Where was Chris Noth in this episode. They treated him like the character of Chavez. You never saw him???? Conrad Jarrett | April 13, 2011 1:05 AM
And the State Attorny investigation couldn’t come up with Kalinda was Leela, nor the FBI investigation into Peter? Bad Bad writing

I put together many postings from brilliant young American women and put them below; best expresses America’s attitudes towards “The Good Wife” on CBS. And why I personally have a lot of hope for a bright future for America.

Looks like CBS “The Good Wife” will be canceled. Last week they had an 18 – 49 rating of 1.9 and this week 2.0 that is sure cancellation territory on CBS. Even using the gimmick of using Michael J Fox to as a guest star this week, they still cannot draw 18 – 49 viewers.

Those that said that NBC “Parenthood” will be canceled next year will be proved right 1.8 last week and 1.9 this week in the 18 – 49 demo, combined with the heavy expenses to produce this show will get it canceled.

CBS “The Good Wife” had a lead in CBS NCIS: Los Angeles rerun with an 18 – 49 rating of 2.7 this week, This proves “The Good Wife” is WASTING the NCIS: LA lead-in. If it gets no benefit from the show doing a 3.5 last week and a 2.7 this week, “The Good Wife” has no business getting such a primo spot on the schedule. Look for CBS for Cancellation of “The Good Wife”

“The Good Wife” last two weeks ratings 1.9 and 2.0 in 18-49 ratings is a failure on any network. Advertisers love the 18-49 demo, anything else is fluff. The 18-49 demo determines what the show can charge for commercials. If you look at what programs get renewed it is all about the 18-49 demo. Networks are in the business to make money, you take the advertising money plus syndication money (which “the good wife” will not make money on) and subtract the cost to make the show = profit. Networks want profit.

“The Good Wife” has a lot of viewers but they are very OLD viewers and they do not spend money on products. The 18-49 demo makes shows like the ones on NBC Thursday Night Comedies that have very low total viewers but a high amount of 18-49 viewers profitable and they get renewed.

CBS “The Good Wife” last two weeks ratings 1.9 and 2.0 18-49 ratings is a failure on any network. The Good Wife 18-49 ratings have been dropping since its first year; as they are at the end of their second season and CBS “The Good Wife” 18-49 are still dropping, and CBS needs room in its schedule for new shows they want to add, look for CBS cancellation of “The Good Wife”

@ whywatch You are right: “Another great episode about the Civil War on PBS“ This is a reason that ABC “Dancing With The Stars” and “Body of Proof” numbers were down last night. A lot of intelligent viewers switched for one night to watch “The Civil War” on PBS. “The Good Wife” on CBS does not have any intelligent viewers so it did not hurt them. Also CBS “The Good Wife” viewers are promoting racism and hatred so they would not want to watch a documentary about “The Civil War” on PBS. From President Abe Lincoln, to President John Kennedy, to President Ronald Reagan, to President Bill Clinton, to President George Bush, to President Barrack Obama, and all Presidents since Abe Lincoln – they all tied to stop racism and hatred. And “The Good Wife” on CBS is all about promoting Racism and Hatred.

Julia was right in her prediction two weeks ago. 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."
The Sisters at my Sorority and other Sororities across the world have stopped watching “The Good Wife”. We want to stomp out Racism and Hatred, and one way is to stop watching “The Good Wife” on CBS with all its Racism and Hatred.
Luckily we now have “Body of Proof to watch instead (a great show with strong women Yea!) “Body of Proof” parties – I’m loving it!
We agree with poster from that wrote:

Hey you “The Good Wife” fans.
By supporting this racist and hatred filled Television program makes you no different than the members of the KKK, the Nazis, or Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan defending Libyan strongman Moammar Khadafy.

Everyone knows CBS “The Good Wife promotes Racism, Bigotry and Hatred.

I think Suzi said it best:

We agree with poster from that wrote:

Racism and Hatred are WRONG, even if it is disguised as humor, even if it is disguised as Art, even it is disguised as entertainment, Racism and Hatred are WRONG.
“The Good Wife” on CBS is all Racism and Hatred and is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
And the people who defend this show or watch this show are defending Racism and Hatred.
The people who watch ““The Good Wife” on CBS are encouraging Racism and Hatred
“The Good Wife” on CBS is all Racism and Hatred

“The Good Wife" fans CBS “The Good Wife” it’s just not for racists, bigots and hate mongers, it is also for drunken fools who mix moonshine and meds!
And it’s Also for Perverts.

It also a great show for Perverts. The old man Eli trying to get young student illegal nanny Natalie Flores in a sexual relationship. Using his power to stop her from being deported, and then trying to get her in a relationship is right out of the pervert handbook. Ewww, Uckkkk

Spoiler: in an upcoming CBS “The Good Wife” Chris Hansen from NBC “To Catch a Predator” will bust the pervert Eli trying to have a sexual relationship with young student illegal nanny Natalie.

Eli has it all: he is a racist, “Racial Cleansing” of the campaign; he is a religious hater getting rid Peters minister, he is all about hatred, and he is a perverted old man.

It takes a lot of writers who are racists, religious haters, all about hatred, and have deep seeded perverted issues, to come up with these scripts.

Yeah, CBS will cancel The Good Wife, alright--in 2015!

It's a successful show that CBS produces and that wins a lot of awards. Plus, they know that if they cancel it, ABC will pick it up immediately. Picture this ABC lineup: Dancing With the Stars Results 8:00; Body of Proof 9:00; The Good Wife 10:00. No way would CBS let their competition build a solid lineup like that with their own show.

What has happened to “NBC: "The Biggest Loser". All the contestants do is complain and gain weight. None of them want to be on the show. Shouldn’t the show just kick them off? if they do not want to be there plenty of other people do.

All their complaints and gaining weight makes The Biggest Loser impossible to watch.

Once again a hate fillled racist is trying to fool everyone on this board into thinking that there are many posters against the Good Wife when they are all coming from the same poster. Think about how much effort this person puts into posting every wednesday against the Good Wife and how long his hate filled rants are. He goes into great detail describing the storylines which can only mean one thing, that he watches the show, eveyweek. If you hate it so much then why are you watching it every week?
They then refer to "Other Briliiant young Women" as well as Suzi, Julia, and Tyrone and others to delude you into believing there are many posters against this show when in fact theese posts are all coming from this same hater.
This person must be under the impression that the executives at CBS read their posts on this website. Well we all know that's not true. And whether or not this show is cancelled will have nothing to do with their obssesive postings against this one show.
It is obvious when someone has become fanatically obssesed and fixated on something the way that this poster has, which therefore renders all of their comments suspect. Don't be fooled people.

@ Cornelius, Thanks for proving my point. If CBS cancels “The Good Wife”, then they could put CBS: "Hawaii Five-0” in this time slot. Then CBS would have a lineup of CBS: "NCIS", CBS: "NCIS: Los Angeles", and CBS: "Hawaii Five-0”. CBS: "Hawaii Five-0” would do great in this time slot and CBS would dominate Tuesday in the 18-49 viewers and total viewers.

If “The Good Wife” went to ABC like you want, CBS: "NCIS would destroy “The Good Wife”. Hence the dilemma with “The Good Wife”, the show drops considerable ratings from very strong lead ins, even though they have a time slot with very weak competition. If CBS moves it to Friday or Saturday the ratings will drop even further. No other network wants “The Good Wife” because it has very low 18-49 numbers and has huge loses in 18-49 viewers from its lead in.

I love the good wife. I usually switch out the last five minutes to dancing with the stars to see who gets eliminated. I enjoy most of the cbs shows, but I do watch dancing with the stars on monday night because of hines ward.

@anonymous
Everyone knows when someone cannot make a good argument they have to resort to twisting the facts. Not only have you twisted the facts, you have done it to such a degree that we can all see what you are doing, and everyone is laughing at you! You Lose! You are busted!

You cannot respond with any argument to defend the TV CBS “The Good Wife”. So you say that there is only one person in the world that has watched the show and does not like it. How delusional!
I can say this for you, you can make people laugh, LOL

When commenters post objective reasons on why CBS “The Good Wife” is racist, you call them racists. HUH? This just shows that shows that you are a person who defends racism and hatred. How sad for you.
