THE X-FILES gave FOX a Monday.
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).
FOX: Although THE X-FILES lost roughly half its post-NFL rating from Sunday night, 3.2 was still more than enough to win the night. Even better, it served as a strong lead-in to the premiere of LUCIFER, which was the #2 show of the night with 2.4. The LUCIFER rating remained nearly stable through the hour (2.5/2.4), suggesting that viewers were pleased.
CBS: Despite the strong new competition, SUPERGIRL held at 1.8. SCORPION fell 0.2 to 1.8, and NCIS: LA was down 0.1 to 1.5.
NBC: The sitcoms took the brunt of the X-FILES arrival, with SUPERSTORE down 0.3 to 1.4 and TELENOVELA down 0.2 to 0.9. THE BIGGEST LOSER gained 0.2 to 1.2.
ABC: THE BACHELOR added 0.1 to 2.3, and the AFTERSHOW was also up 0.1 to 1.0.
CW: CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND and JANE THE VIRGIN returned where they had left off, at 0.3/0.4.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? returns to ABC tonight, a question the network must often have pondered about its troubled Tuesday 10PM slot. On cable, WGN premieres OUTSIDERS.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
