NBC continues to perform poorly, and had a terrible week last week. It sank to fourth place behind Fox. What's worrisome about this is that while NBC has often been in fourth place during the last few seasons, this most often happens when Fox's American Idol is airing. To be behind Fox without being able to blame it on Idol and while Fox's own schedule is not exactly setting records only underscores just how broken things are at NBC.
NBC has only two shows – both Football – in all the top 35. It's final debuting new series of the season, School Pride, landed with a thud in 92nd place with a paltry 2.9 million viewers.
