Viewers weren’t enthusiastic about the return of BLINDSPOT.
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 follows the chart.
NBC: The season premiere 0.7 for BLINDSPOT looks awful if compared to last year’s 1.6 (following the season finale of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT on a Wednesday). However, the show slid heavily from that level, and the premiere was down a much more reasonable 0.1 from May’s season finale. Whether it will hold there, of course, is a different question. DATELINE was up 0.2 to 0.9.
FOX: Game 3 of the WORLD SERIES had a preliminary 3.4, which was down 1.3 from last year’s atypical Game 3 (in the context of the Chicago Cubs storyline), but up 0.3 from 2015.
ABC: ONCE UPON A TIME held at its series low 0.5, and INHUMANS is currently up 0.1 to 0.5. 20/20 was steady at 0.5.
CBS: A MICHAEL JACKSON’S HALLOWEEN special was the highest-rated non-sports telecast of the night at 1.1, up 0.3 from last week’s MACGYVER. That show shifted to 9PM for the night, and remained at last week’s 0.8. BLUE BLOODS held at 0.9.
CW: CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND and JANE THE VIRGIN stayed at last week’s twin 0.2s.
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is a rerun tonight, but NBC is preceding it with a new animated DAVID S. PUMPKINS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL. On Sunday, there are season finales for HBO’s THE DEUCE and Showtime’s RAY DONOVAN.
