 Lauren Jauregui (left), Keaton Stromberg (right), The Carpenters Hour (Paramount Television)FIRST PLACE FINISHES 2013-14 SEASON1. ICE (15) 2. ROD (3) 3. SBC (1) 4. Pink (0) 5. TSN (0) The L.A. gives ROD their first program to reach over 60 million viewers this season as The O.C. reunion was heavily watched on Sunday night as the most viewed program of the night against NFL action and one of this year's biggest surprise hits in Overnight Nurses. That boost gave Saved By the Bell over 50 million viewers as well in front of The LA on this 90s and 00s teens reunion night on ROD. Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears give Sunday Night Football another good rating. The Carpenters Hour kicked off ICE's 3-day stay in Miami up week-to-week. Tonight was a very important night for ROD because a lot of their season was on the line tonight. The L.A. had to succeed and not fail for them because a fail would've set the network back a year or two and for Ashley Greene she has already been thrown into the fire this season and was forced to ditch almost half of the network's schedule in order to keep from losing second place to SBC. For ROD, both Saved By the Bell: The Adult Years and The LA were pilot reboots that used actors that worked with The ICE Phederation because these were originally ICE productions when they were developed back in 2012 but ICE sold them to other networks. At one point because the whole 2012-13 season got wiped out ICE almost kept The Adult Years for themselves but thankfully for ROD the partnership pact that was made with Warner Bros. Television between the two studios kept ICE from keeping either pilot for themselves. Jessica Lowndes admits that it was Ash's idea though to go in fully with The LA pilot as ICE never had any intention of green lighting that pilot. In a season where ROD desperately needed two scripted hits in both genres everything worked out on that end thankfully as both shows have started out strong and didn't flop although The LA still needs to perform away from the premiere this Tuesday in its regular timeslot. The Adult Years has already proved itself in a few different timeslots this season by self-starting. Going forward this Tuesday for ROD they are hoping to turn that lineup into a competitive player like they have on Fridays this season that helped them beat ICE all 3 times this season on that night. ROD has Hawaiian Nights also coming in a couple of weeks and is expected to join that lineup. Right now they have two half-hour teen dramas leading off that have major potential to grow but ROD is going to have make some tough decisions there. The Carpenters Hour continues its audition process which doesn't end until the end of October but the numbers went back up this week close to 60 million viewers as the show visited Miami for the first time ever believe it or not which probably added to the uptick as ICE was in SBC country and got booed out of the building. The huge surprise of the season continues to be Overnight Nurses which is doing way better than it was expected to do as many analysts have noticed that ICE has always changed their plans of moving it away from Sundays and have kept it right there instead of moving their other pilot "Sam's Sisters" there which might at this point be shipped off to PINK. Sunday Night Family Game Night be one of ICE's biggest disappointments of the fall season as the show was expected to keep a better amount of The Carpenters Hour lead-in but ICE will likely not panic since the show didn't drop below 40 million in this week. Sports helped the two SBC Universal networks big time as NFL action helped give SBC's their biggest night of the week so far and TSN got one of their highest rated nights of their first 14 nights of coverage this season. PINK's block of comedies scored really well for them and The Heartland's Family fitted in nicely at 7pm as well. |

BIGGEST PREMIERE: The biggest premiere of the week belongs to ICE's Chicago's Most Dangerous Bitch which got its start delayed by two weeks but is finally coming to your screens on Monday at 10pm and moves into its new regular slot behind Kelly's Thugs on Wednesdays. This new crime drama was rated as one of the top 5 most anticipated new shows to debut this fall in NITRO only ranking behind Teen Angels on the drama side. Jessica Lowndes is easily the most hated personality in all of NITRO and she plays a murderous bad girl who kills off men in the city of Chicago. With Jessica Lowndes being the #3 star in NITRO at the moment and CEO of the biggest NITRO studio expect this to get heavily sampled but the real test is how it does on Wednesday behind Kelly's Thugs. MONDAY: Baywatch which was a living free agent after UNO got defunct continues its second season. Seattle Mysteries got rebooted and will make its series premiere at 10pm on SBC. ICE continues its three-day stay in Miami taking their Starlets talents down to South Beach like LeBron James. Since that's SBC country will the fans boo them again like they did on Sunday at The Hour tapings? Angry Landlords makes its Monday debut. Allison Shields helped launched Pink last Monday and will be featured again as she brings her summer 2010 box office successful hit "Nice Girls" to a world broadcast premiere after the season premiere of the game show "Battle of the Sexes" which airs at 8:00pm leading off. TUESDAY: ROD steps back into the spotlight thanks to the timeslot debuts of The L.A. and Saved By the Bell: The Adult Years. ROD has had a rich history of being success on Tuesday nights and Ashley Greene would love to bring that tradition back to the table. After getting 60 million viewers for the premiere of The LA this past Sunday there's a lot of pressure riding on the two nostalgia programs to remain over 50 million viewers. It's going to be tough because there was already a huge battle between SBC and ICE on the night as ICE ends it stay in Miami with the auditions of the Pageant. This Tuesday's battle between SBC and ICE will be interesting down in South Florida because ICE is hoping to tap more into that market by having a special crossover episode between Janit O'Day and Pretty Thieves as Pretty Thieves is set in Miami. Jaws, Alex, and Osmond are all big in the Miami market and both Saved By the Bell and The LA were huge in Miami market on Sunday as those numbers will be revealed later. Tuesday Night Jem wraps up the Miami tapings over on Pink. WEDNESDAY: Week 2 of SBC's New Comedy Wednesdays which was a surprising success for them last week. There are some huge tests in this lineup for damn sure and it starts with Topanga which must prove that it is one of SBC's top hits and stay over 40 million viewers. Simply Sam is one episode away from moving to TSN if it doesn't succeed leading off. As mentioned before on ICE, Chicago's Most Dangerous Bitch makes its timeslot debut after Kelly's Thugs but what's interesting here is that Dangerous Bitch is going to be against Touch Chick and after SBC wisely premiered Tough Chick away from Kelly's Thugs there's a possibility they might be in the same trouble here. Team ROD gets ready for BOTNS next Thursday by showing its viewers two-hours of coverage of their practice sessions live from the west coast. THURSDAY: Must See TV returns to ICE as the newest featured occupant is DJ Becky which was one of those Toronto's Friends spin-offs like Angry Landlords that was left behind by Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. SBC and ROD have struggled against the dominance of that lineup on ICE so they have made some changes as Super Crews moves its second episode to Thursday and new ROD pickup Melissa Rycroft will her debut. Huge changes were made to SBC's lineup as Drama's Place gets away from that hot 10pm hour on ICE and leads off as Seattle Mysteries and Michaels & Leary have moved there as well. Tammi Brooks makes her season debut in her famous porn specials which has turned into a regular series this season so this could be interesting to see how it does against ICE. Of note this could be popular New Zealand teen singer Lorde's debut night with ICE as ICE has quietly picked her up and added her to the cast of DJ Becky. FRIDAY: Bella Thorne celebrates her 3rd anniversary for a special edition of her Groovy Variety Hour before moving the show to Pink the following week as the variety battle continues at 8pm. ROD's successful soap block continues as ICE looks to continue to improve their block as Fridays has become the network's weakest night of the season so far but they will be adding in the debut of their first regular adult series at midnight in Uptown Murders which premieres. Full House over on SBC has been a powerhouse but the lineup has not been consistent as a whole but SBC is looking to change that by giving Topanga a huge chance of sampling this week and Gabby & Terri will air right behind them. SBC moves Diff'rent Strokes and Gimme a Break! over to TSN in hopes of strengthening their lineup and giving their soap Sex, Lies, & The Southern Belle a bigger lead-in. SATURDAY: We're going to have a 4-way network comedy bloodbath as ICE will be live from Chicago and will be looking to separate their comedies away from the rest of the competition by having Babs & Kya lead-off. The match-up that we are watching for is Miami's Friends vs. Young Girls to see if that half-hour drop for Miami's Friends meant anything. Jaime will move to Saturday and have a chance to kill off Chase & Zoey in that Zoey 101 war. ROD gets in on the porn action in late night by debuting The Porn Hour and their newest acquisitions Gillian Shields and Joannie Stevens will duel up to replace Aisha & Jenny's popular variety show against Diamond Girls. TSN moves Single at Fifty and Monica over to strengthen up the network against Pink and Jake & Posh finally makes its season-debut. SUNDAY: Sundays belongs to football and The Carpenters Hour and much of that won't change this week but Pink had a pretty good night last week so we'll be keeping an eye on Pink and the continuing surprising success of Overnight Nurses over on ICE. ROD has not announced it yet but told officials that Australian Nights will premiere the following Sunday. NEXT WEEK (SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 6, 2013): On Thursday will be the first Battle of the Network Stars event of the season in Kansas City so programming that night will be pre-empted into late night. One Day at a Time will comeback home to Indianapolis on Monday for a series of special episodes airing over the next few weeks. Zendaya and Bella move their variety shows to the Federal Division. ROD debuts Australian Nights next Sunday. ICE will be in Dallas next Sunday for The Carpenters Hour tapings which is SBC country. |

Jessica Lowndes, Chicago's Most Dangerous Bitch (Paramount Television)OTTAWA, ON - Sometimes when expectations are so high they're very hard to actually meet and live up to but that was not the case for one of NITRO's most anticipated new programs this fall in "Chicago's Most Dangerous Bitch" on ICE which just set a new record becoming the most watched drama to-date surpassing the king of dramas "Janit O'Day" for its series premiere on Monday night. Dangerous Bitch achieved a record 69.67 million viewers at 10pm after Angry Landlords which reached over 60 million viewers as well. The intrigue of having NITRO's most hated personality Jessica Lowndes in a lead role as a terror to men made it must see television on Monday. Many analysts called Jessica's character on the show way scarier than Janit O'Day or Heather and that brought in more attention to getting the show well sampled. If this is the case then Dangerous Bitch might end up being more successful than Janit O'Day in the long run but as stated before the real test comes this Wednesday when it settles into its new regular timeslot for the first time after Kelly's Thugs. It's not expected to do over 60 million viewers but that would be nice for ICE if it did. ICE's comedies were live from Miami earlier in the night and those numbers along with the rest of the Monday numbers will be released shortly. The dominance displayed here by ICE is shown here in the most watched program chart (October 12, 2009-September 23, 2013):

Ashley Greene (CEO): It's very good to see The L.A. get off to a very good start and its helping Saved By the Bell as well. Once we get Australian Nights going we will have a strong Tuesday block that allows us to finally start focusing on these other nights of the week. We are hoping that Tuesdays and Fridays will remain strong through October.

Rachel Bilson (Head ICE Official): Ash you better bow down to me for helping make LA a success. I could've easily made sure we all didn't act in this show.
Jessica Szohr: Yeah Heather is going to kill that lame ass show Sheila Carter so Sheila and ROD you only have 5 more Fridays before I come busting down that damn door.
Marie Avgeropoulos: Good luck Jess with Heather because SBC is a weak ass network that needs your show I'm going to miss acting with you on Kelly's Thugs. My show "Fugitive at 17" stays with ICE but is airing on Pink starting on Thursday October 17, 2013 at 10pm but it premieres the previous Monday on ICE in the same timeslot.
Jillian Murray: I see my Janit O'Day sisters Jess and Marie good luck girls on your new shows keep the franchise healthy. You're all losing to Pretty Thieves on Tuesdays so shut the fuck up ROD and SBC.
Allison Shields: Hey Alexa can your show go on the road and sellout arenas like ICE did in Miami this past week?
Tahj Mowry: Mackenzie you're weak ass show can't even beat The Pageant on Tuesdays so shut the FUCK UP BITCH!

Ashley Greene (CEO): Don't take credit you stupid bitch just because we used your actors for The L.A. and Saved By the Bell. We would've used our own actors like were doing now phasing out those old timers.
Gillian Shields: I so badly want those Janit O'Day spin-offs to fail you bitches talk way too much shit.
Justin Timberlake: Me and Kendrick are responsible for the ratings being good for Saved By the Bell not those ICE hoes.
Kendrick Lamar: Mackenzie how you let that annoying faggot Tahj Mowry own your ass like that?
