Jay Leno's ratings suck less
TV Squad —
People who hoped and prayed that The Jay Leno Show would become a big failure had one less reason to go on living this week.
It seems that the show has hit a recent "ratings slide." The last 11 episodes either maintained or improved their adult demographic ratings after a long slide since September.
Even the holidays didn't dampen the show's ratings. The show before Thanksgiving was his most watched since October and was the only show in his timeslot that didn't see a decline in the ratings.
Does this mean Leno will pull himself out of the muck or just sink deeper into the bottomless swamp that is NBC? Filed under: Ratings, Reality-Free, Jay ...
Leno Ratings Slide Evens Out
Vulture —
... from good gets (two weeks ago actors from New Moon appeared on two separate nights turning the week into his best since mid-October) and the end of premiere season, when TV watchers pick the shows they will stick with. Not that this is really news to celebrate. Even though the slide has slowed, the actual ratings remain abysmal. But as long as Leno can stick around until next June he's in for another good week; that's when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse comes out.

... . On the other hand, the ratings for his show have seemingly stabilized in recently weeks, at very close to the minimum levels NBC claimed it needed for the show to be successful -- expectations many believed were set very low in case this very thing happened. For what it's worth, I concur with those who hold that until NBC has some other appealing option, Leno will remain right where he is, unhappy affiliates or not. ...
Is It Time to Cancel Those Leno Obituaries?

It's certainly not a best-case scenario, but in the face of all fears, the end of Jay Leno's ratings free fall doesn't seem bad. At last there are signs the NBC's Jay Leno experiment may have turned a corner.
Granted, if NBC has hit bottom, they've done so in a cavern deeper and scarier than anything they could have imagined a year ago. But like the rest of the nation, when it often seemed that our very foundations were coming undone and that our economy — or NBC's ratings report — would become a desolate wasteland populated solely by marauding cannibals; in the face of that, to find out we've stabilized on "pretty lousy" doesn't seem half bad. Our guess is its a scenario NBC would take in a heartbeat.

Jay Leno a Failure; Also, Jay Leno a Success
Tuned In —
Love him or hate him, success or failure, Jay Leno taking over NBC's 10 p.m. slot is the biggest TV story of the year. And now that he's been on-air for a couple months, the assessments of his ratings performance have been coming in. On the one hand, Leno's been the subject of one bad ratings story after another for weeks, as he some nights dipped below even the 5 million he got in late night, or the 1.5 rating NBC set as a break-even bar ...
