Media Post blog begins with, “What does a guy have to do to get a rating around here?” Neil Patrick Harris in their mind seems to be exasperated by the amount of time and effort he seems to be putting into his show in ever possible capacity. While participating in fire-eating performance, while continuing to sing and dance like a monkey. And yet, the show has mediocre ratings that no one is mentioning at all. Last night was the sixth episode and at its new time of 8 p.m. Eastern, the ratings seem to have settled in at around 4.5 million viewers per show. The weeks previously, viewership was 4.45 million on Oct. 6, for the show’s fourth episode –which was the last one airing at 10 p.m. Eastern. The next week on Oct. 13, the show began airing at 8 p.m. and drew about the same audience — 4.48 million, to be exact. In the demo (18-49), the show scored a 1.3 on Oct. 6 and a 1.2 on Oct. 13. In comparison, the show’s premiere on Sept. 15 drew 6.6 million viewers and an 18-49 rating of 1.8. In its second week on Sept. 22, viewership dropped to 5.91 million, but the demo rating went up to 2.1. And now its audience is remaining in the mid-4 millions. Maybe NBC and NPH are just warming up especially with the new time slot but cmon,  What’s a guy have to do to get a rating? That we still have yet to discover.
