GOTHAM may have taken too much time off.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.
FOX: GOTHAM returned for the last stretch of its season, and it took a half-point hit down to 1.5. It did, however, give THE FOLLOWING a better lead-in than it’s had for a while, and that show gained 0.2 to 1.1.
CBS: On a steady night, 2 BROKE GIRLS and MIKE & MOLLY both held at 1.8, while SCORPION lost 0.1 to 1.9 and NCIS: LA gained 0.1 to 1.6.
NBC: THE VOICE was down 0.1 to 2.8, but the number that could be of concern to NBC is that it’s down a big 0.6 from last year’s parallel night. THE NIGHT SHIFT stayed at 1.4.
ABC: DANCING WITH THE STARS rose 0.1 to 2.1, followed by 1.0 for a CASTLE rerun.
CW: THE ORIGINALS and JANE THE VIRGIN are currently up, respectively by 0.1 to 0.6 and by 0.2 to 0.6, but a baseball preemption in New York could change that in final numbers.
The networks are mostly new tonight, although CHICAGO FIRE and NEW GIRL are reruns, and ABC will preempt FOREVER for a run of last night’s AVENGERS-themed JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE. On cable, FX bids farewell to the great JUSTIFIED.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
