Most of our shows are ending their seasons, but the first of our summer shows just arrived.
This week NBC debuted the supernaturally tinged comedy Save Me, and things didn't go too well. Meanwhile Bates Motel ended its season with a big boost, Defiance got a big gain on Syfy, and Hannibal continued to fight for more viewers.
Check out the numbers and commentary below to see how your favorite shows are doing in Live + Same Day ratings.
MONDAY, May 20
Defiance (Syfy) 1.94 million viewers/0.8
Defiance dropped a few viewers but got a big boost to its demo score for a very strong week.
Warehouse 13 (Syfy) 1.08 million viewers/0.4
Warehouse 13 lost viewers this week, but held on to its rating for a solid broadcast.
Bates Motel (A&E) 2.69 million viewers/1.2
Bates Motel closed out its first season with a big boost to its demo score and a nice ratings boost. Looks like A&E definitely has a winner on its hands.
Revolution (NBC) 5.64 million viewers/1.9/5 share
Revolution gained a few viewers but broke even in its demo score for a not-bad but not-great week.

Hannibal (NBC) 2.69 million viewers/1.0/3 share

Save Me (NBC) 3.18 million viewers/0.7/3 share
Save Me had a rough season premire, losing in the ratings to reruns of other shows in its timeslot. Maybe it'll climb throughout the summer, but a start like this isn't a great sign.
