That's really sad considering this is one of the better shows to have come out this season. The Middleman deserves a 'Save the show' campaign. The marketing was terrible and made it look a cheesy live action cartoon for 6 year olds when the show is quite adult & mature in its nature.

It may be a great number for golf, but seriously, while 5 million is an all-time record, it isn't an impressive number. To have to scroll past all the golf spew here on Monday, one would have expected that many people were actually watching the playoff. As it turns out, not many people actually watched.

For a cable event on monday morning 5 million is very impressive, don't know what you're talking about
For a live sporting even that aired on a Monday Afternoon Eastern Tim, in the Morning on the West Coast, it pulled in 5 million viewers on a Cable Channel.
That would make it the TOP show on The CW for the Primetime Season.
Out rate the Average Rating of returning shows like 30 Rock , Friday Night Lites, According to Jim.
At 4.7 million, it would have cracked the top 50 in last weeks ratings, besting all 3 NBA Countdown shows.
Only 9 NBC regular programs did better in the ratings last week, in Primetime
So, when 90% of the US work force is normally away from a TV while working, 5 million people found a way to watch Cable TV in the afternoon/morning.
5 million on a Monday, during the day, on Cable, IS Impressive.

Yes, let us put it in perspective. This was the top golf tournament for the US. The #1 most hyped player of all time was in contention throughout the tournament and into the final day. The tie, resulting in the playoff, was VERY well publicized ahead of time such that no golf fan, no matter how casual, could have missed the fact that this playoff was going to be showing on Monday. In essence, this was the 'perfect storm' for potential golf ratings.

4.762million viewers.

No, it would not. For example, 8 episodes of ANTM last TV season topped that golf viewer number.

And yet the NBA topped golf in the Sunday ratings by 40+% even while golf was having its 'perfect storm'.

I'm not saying that the ESPN golf number sucked, but it was the absolute 'perfect storm' situation for the golf telecast. What you just saw was that the highest possible viewer number gold could have achieved on Monday cable with absolutely perfect scenario conditions. I am unimpressed with that upper limit.
Obveeus, i truly don't understand your point. You have something against golf or what? How can you say those numbers aren't impressive. No matter how much one loves golf, he/she can't leave the job for an US Open playoff

Plus ESPN showed the front nine, which IMO is the more boring part of golf. NBC had the back nine, which IMO is the better part of golf. So IMO, the 5 million for ESPN is GREAT.

Oh, My Bad. The Front 9 Holes out ranked the entire CW season EXCEPT for 8 hours of programming
Errata:
The Front 9 Holes out ranked the entire CW season EXCEPT for 26 hours of programming. Obveeus failed to point out the 9 times that the soon-to-move-to-MyNetworkTV WWE Smackdown topped The Front 9 number as well.

Ugh, I agree.
