THE CARMICHAEL SHOW made an argument for a regular-season berth.
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.
NBC: After a 1.7 AMERICA’S GOT TALENT lead-in (up 0.1 from last week), THE CARMICHAEL SHOW was impressively up 0.2 in both of its half hours, to 1.3/1.1. These days, those would count as reasonable sitcom numbers even outside the summer season, and the show beat the original programming against it on 3 other networks, plus the MODERN FAMILY rerun on ABC. LAST COMIC STANDING was steady at 1.1.
ABC: The season finale of CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP was up 0.1 to 0.8, still making it the network’s lowest-rated show of the night.
CBS: BIG BROTHER and EXTANT were each down 0.1, respectively to 2.1 and 0.7. The night wound up with a 0.8 CRIMINAL MINDS rerun.
FOX: MASTERCHEF gained 0.1 to 1.5, and HOME FREE rose 0.2 to 1.0.
CW: AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL and WICKED OFFER each fell 0.1, respectively to 0.4 and 0.2.
The summer ends tonight for ABC’s MISTRESSES and ROOKIE BLUE, as well as NBC’s FOOD FIGHTERS.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
