416- buzz kendall provenza sanchez tao lrMajor Crimes continued its winning ways in the ratings for its holiday run. Last night’s episode brought in 3.29 million viewers, down slightly from last weeks winter season high, but still easily won the night as the most watched scripted cable series.

Episode 414 continued to perform strongly in time delayed ratings, growing to 4.05 million total viewers and 0.7 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic in Live + 3 (a massive 75% increase for the demographic over the Live numbers). The continued strong performance of the episode also helped it to score the top spot as the Most Watched Scripted Cable Show of the Week for the first time this winter season.

The slight dip in ratings this week was felt across the board on TNT’s offerings, though Major Crimes continues to be the most watched TNT original of the winter season, besting runner up The Librarians by more than 1.2 million viewers. The rest of TNT’s roster has continued to struggle to find an audience this season, with new series Agent X dropping to 0.99 million viewers and 0.2 million (18-49), and Major Crimes lead-out Legends dropping to a new low at 0.67 million viewers and 0.1 (18-49).

Major Crimes will air two more new episodes in 2015, then take a break, and return with the final five episodes of Season 4 on February 15, 2016.

Ratings: Major Crimes Scores Big in Post-Holiday Outing; Wins Night

415-buzz provenza raydor sykes tao lrTurkey, Black Friday, and Major Crimes? Viewers were happy to include Major Crimes as part of their holiday traditions this year, with 3.69 million tuning in for Monday’s episode. The episode gained a whopping 1.2 million viewers over last week as many viewers found it for the first time this winter season, due to the outing being the first to air in Major Crimes usual Monday-after-Thanksgiving time slot.

The almost 50% increase in total viewers also helped Major Crimes easily win the night as the most watched scripted cable offering.   Strong gains were also seen in the key 18-49 demographic, where the episode rose more than 24% over last week to 0.5 million viewers.

With the increase in this weeks ratings, Major Crimes is close to matching its Winter 2014 ratings performances.  Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the rest of TNT’s winter lineup, which continues to experience the ratings slump we first mentioned last week. TNT’s other winter offerings all experienced drops this week, including Agent X (1.03/0.2 to 0.98/0.2) and Librarians (2.10/0.5 to 2.02/0.5). The struggling Major Crimes lead-out Legends saw a small increase this week, rising from .58/0.1 to 0.72/0.1.

MajorCrimesTV.net is Back!

We are thrilled to announce the return of MajorCrimesTV.net!

Since the premiere of Major Crimes in 2012, MajorCrimesTV has prided itself on being the first and most complete source of news, information and exclusive content about the show. We’ve enjoyed a unique position as both a resource for fans and an outlet for the cast and crew to reach those fans, and we greatly value the wonderful working relationships we’ve built with everyone associated with the show along the way….

After shutting down over the summer, we are very happy to announce that thanks to the help of many at Major Crimes and TNT, MajorCrimesTV is back! Thank you to all the fans who blogged, tweeted and messaged in our absence, and special thanks to James Duff for the continued support and assistance in facilitating our return.

We’re working hard to get MajorCrimesTV.net and our associated social media accounts up and running again as quickly as possible, and expect to be back in full force with all the exclusive reporting, content and extras that you have all come to rely on us for within the next few days.

Thank you for your continued support, and Happy Major Crimes Monday!

“Dear Major Crimes Fans,

Welcome Back to MajorCrimesTV.net! Not many shows can boast such an ardent proponent as Mina Sharpe. And, when she temporarily shut down… the above mentioned site boosting the show, many of us who make it felt personally bereft.

Unfortunately, during the changeover of network administrations, the terrific connection Mia had created with fans worldwide got a little lost in the corporate shuffle.

We have addressed the problems in how information is distributed, and you can once again turn to MajorCrimesTV for exclusives, interviews with our cast and crew, guest star announcements, Identity by Rusty Beck, and much, much more that will put Major Crimes in context both artistically and professionally.

The advent of New Media (which is no longer new) has changed the proprietary nature of episodic television. By investing so much of their time in programming, viewers also become shareholders of every show they watch. Major Crimes has always treated its audience as a partner, and we hope the return of Mina’s site exemplifies our commitment to maintaining that partnership with each and every one of you.

James Duff”

Ratings: Major Crimes Wins Night in First Thanksgiving Outing

414- Buzz Provenza Sanchez lrIn its first-ever Thanksgiving outing, Major Crimes stayed steady in the ratings despite going up against Monday Night Football and the TV “sweeps” period. Last nights Major Crimes brought in 2.49 million total viewers (up slightly from its winter season average to date), and won the night as the Most-Watched Scripted Cable Original of the Night.

Greater gains were seen in key demos, where 0.4 million viewers 18-49 tuned in, a rise of more than 33% over the prior week.  Major Crimes is also vastly outperforming its new companion on Monday nights, bringing in in over 300% more viewers than lead-out Legends (580,000/0.1)

Across the board, TNT has been suffering losses of over half its viewership from its summer finales to this winter’s premieres (average network viewership of 2.94/0.5 in summer to 1.5/0.3 this winter). Meanwhile, the sole new offering from the network this winter debuted far below expectations, with only 1.01 million viewers (0.2 demo) tuning in for the premiere of Agent X.

While Major Crimes has also suffered from the TNT viewer drop, its numbers have been the least impacted of all TNT’s currently airing dramas, and has continued to lead as TNT’s most-watched program this winter by an average margin of almost a half million. Those gains are even greater when Live +3 numbers are taken into account, where Major Crimes has recovered much of its missing viewership, rising to an average of 4.2 million viewers and 0.7 million viewers 18-49 in Live + 3 day viewing.

TNT, we know it’s been a while, but we have to ask anyway – where is the Season 5 renewal for Major Crimes?
