今年NBC在四大广播网收视率排行榜上从第四位一下子跳到第一位，着实让很多人大跌眼镜。NBC的领先地位已经延续了四周，而且丝毫没有松动的迹象。今天的分析文章指出，这是周日晚橄榄球节目、周一周二晚《好声音》（The Voice）和周一新剧《革命》（Revolution）的功劳。今年真正称得上「热门」的新剧仅有《革命》一部，排名第二的《福尔摩斯与华生》（Elementary）只能用表现平平来形容。今年前几周的总体情况如下：

18-49收视率

NBC：3.1，+19%
CBS：2.7：-18%
ABC：2.4，-11%
Fox：2.4，-25%

观众人数

CBS：1132万，-11%
ABC：877.1万，-8%
NBC：843.1万，+12%
Fox：651.1万，-25%

此外，有线网上的《行尸走肉》（The Walking Dead）、《混乱之子》（Sons of Anarchy）和《美国恐怖故事》（American Horror Story）都达到或者远远超过了同档期广播网节目的收视率水平。它们为什么会成功？因为它们全都是反主流的另类剧集。
