Ratings: Shaq's Bigger Challenge, Closer and More
Amber Heard by Frank Ockenfels/The CW
Ratings bits from...
Wednesday
Fox's last-minute swap of Adam Sandler's
Anger Management (in place of the final two episodes of
Drive) delivered 3.13 million total viewers - or 1.5 mil fewer than tuned in for
Drive's previous (April 23) broadcast. The Nathan Fillion-driven series instead will bow out Friday the 13th.
Real nice....
Hidden Palms dropped 500K week-to-week to say a most unfortunate farewell to just 971,000 viewers.
Tuesday
On the Lot left another 130 thou on the cutting-room floor, delivering 2.16 mil....
Shaq's Big Challenge (5.03 mil) fattened up its premiere-week numbers by 600,000.
Monday
TNT's
The Closer (7.19 mil) was up 11 percent from the week prior, and bested the 9 pm competition on both ABC and NBC. The season-to-date is up nine percent versus its sophomore run....
Heartland drew 3.45 mil, up 15 percent.
