Vote of no confidence, I would guess. Very sad for a great show just getting off the ground. I hate to see a project with so much potential murdered in its infancy.

UPDATE: BOOSTED BY THE PREMIERES OF 'SOUTHLAND' AND 'PARKS AND RECREATION,' NBC TIES FOR #1 THURSDAY NIGHT IN 18-49 AND WINS OUTRIGHT IN 18-34
Published: April 10, 2009

'SOUTHLAND' WINS THE 10 P.M. HOUR IN ADULTS 18-49, ADULTS 25-54, ADULTS 18-34 AND NEARLY ALL OTHER KEY DEMOGRAPHICS, TOPPING THE SERIES PREMIERE OF 'HARPER'S ISLAND'

'SOUTHLAND' IS THE FIRST LAUNCH OF A 10 P.M. NETWORK DRAMA TO BUILD HALF-HOUR TO HALF-HOUR IN 18-49 SINCE 'MEDIUM' IN 2005

'PARKS AND RECREATION' TOPS NBC'S SEASON AVERAGE FOR ITS SLOT BY 36 PERCENT IN ADULTS 18-49, AND WINS ITS TOUGH TIME PERIOD IN ADULTS, MEN AND WOMEN 18-34

'THE OFFICE' IS THE #1 SHOW OF THE NIGHT ON ANY NETWORK IN ADULTS 18-49

'THE OFFICE' AT 8 P.M. TOPS 'SURVIVOR' AND AT 9 P.M. BEATS 'CSI' IN ADULTS 18-49 AND OTHER KEY DEMOS

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – April 10, 2009 – The series debuts last night of "Southland" and "Parks and Recreation" joined forces with NBC's established Thursday comedy hits "The Office" and "30 Rock" to propel the network to a tie for #1 in primetime's key demographic of adults 18-49 and an outright win in adults, men and women 18-34, according to updated "live plus same day" viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.

Last night from 10:01-11 p.m. ET, the series debut of "Southland" (3.2 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49, 9.9 million viewers overall) won the hour in adults 18-49, adults 18-34, adults 25-54 and nearly every other key demographic, topping the series debut of CBS's "Harper's Island" and ABC's "Private Practice" encore. The "Southland" margin of victory was 23 percent in adults 18-49 (3.2 vs. 2.6 for "Harper's Island") and 56 percent in adults 18-34 (2.5 vs. 1.6 for "Harper's").

"Southland" increased from half-hour to half-hour by 6 percent in both 18-49 rating (to a 3.3/10 from a 3.1/9) and in total viewers (to 10.1 million from 9.6 million), while the drama competition on CBS and ABC declined in both categories.

"Southland" is the first launch of a 10 p.m. network drama to build in 18-49 rating from the 10 p.m. half-hour to the 10:30 half-hour in more than four years (since NBC's "Medium" on January 3, 2005).

NBC's primetime kicked off at 8 p.m. ET with a special telecast of "The Office" (3.4/11 in 18-49, 7.3 million viewers overall), which ranked #1 in adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and other key demos in this highly competitive time period ahead of CBS's "Survivor," Fox's "Bones" and ABC's "In the Motherhood." "The Office" delivered NBC's highest 18-49 rating in this time period this season.

At 8:30 p.m. ET, the series debut of "Parks and Recreation" (3.0/9 in 18-49, 6.9 million viewers overall) won its highly competitive time period in adults, men and women 18-34. In adults 18-49, "Parks and Recreation" retained 88 percent of its lead-in from "The Office" special, and topped NBC's season-to-date average for this time period by 36 percent (3.0 vs. 2.2, "live plus same day").

From 9-9:31 p.m. ET, "The Office" (3.9/11 in 18-49, 8.0 million viewers overall) won its time period in adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and other key measures, topping CBS's "CSI," Fox's "Hell's Kitchen" and a rebroadcast of "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC. "The Office" at 9 p.m. was the #1 telecast of the night on any network in adults 18-49.

From 9:31-10:01 p.m. ET, "30 Rock" (3.1/9 in 18-49, 6.8 million viewers overall) won its competitive half-hour in adults, men and women 18-34 and finished within 2 shares of the slot lead in adults 18-49.

NBC tied for #1 for the night in adults 18-49, and ranked #1 outright in men 18-49 and adults, men and women 18-34.

Updated 18-49 averages for Thursday night are: NBC and CBS, 3.3/10; Fox, 2.9/9; ABC, 1.4/4; and CW, 0.7/2. In overall total viewers, April 9 updated results are: CBS, 12.8 million; Fox, 8.3 million; NBC, 8.1 million; ABC 4.7 million; CW, 2.0 million.

Note that all national ratings are "live plus same day" unless otherwise indicated.]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:06:00 -0700 http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=819774 http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=819707 http://www.nbc.com/southland/
