SHOWBUZZDAILY MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.29.2017

 

STAR-CROSSED was putting it mildly.

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.

ABC:  STILL STAR-CROSSED only managed a 0.5 premiere, despite a robust 1.5 lead-in from THE BACHELORETTE (which was nevertheless down 0.3 from last week’s season premiere).  That 0.5 is 0.2 below last year’s rating of MISTRESSES in the post-BACHELORETTE slot, a level that brought that show to cancellation.

FOX:  After GOTHAM fell 0.1 from last week to 0.9, the sort-of season finale of LUCIFER (several additional episodes were shot, but are being held for next fall) rose 0.1 to 0.9, down 0.4 from the 2016 finale, which aired in April after a GOTHAM rerun.

NBC:  Game 1 of the STANLEY CUP FINALS had a preliminary 1.7.

CW:  A new episode of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY was at 0.2, which was 0.1 below the rerun episode that followed, and held its lead-in from a SUPERGIRL rerun.

CBS:  Reruns at 0.5-0.6.

There are finales tonight for FOX’s PRISON BREAK and FX’s THE AMERICANS, while TNT’s ANIMAL KINGDOM returns for Season 2.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
