QUANTICO looks like a keeper.
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: The big news for the network was that it may have a genuine hit in the Sunday 10PM slot, as QUANTICO held all of its 1.9 premiere rating, a great result for a Week 2. It was even more impressive because its lead-in BLOOD AND OIL fell 0.2 to 1.2 on its own 2d airing. Earlier, ONCE UPON A TIME was steady at 1.8, after a pair of THE MUPPETS reruns at 0.8.
CBS: Last year’s premiere Sunday was boosted by the late NFL game, so comparisons aren’t exactly apples to apples. 60 MINUTES started the night at 1.5, down 1.4 from a football-inflated 2.9 last week. MADAM SECRETARY premiered at 1.5, which was down 0.5 from the 2014 series premiere, but up 0.1 from Week 2 (when CBS didn’t have the late game). THE GOOD WIFE was down 0.2 from 2014’s premiere to 1.2 (and down 0.1 from Week 2 in 2014). CSI: CYBER premiered at 1.0, which was 0.4 below last fall’s premiere of the CSI Sunday mothership (in the 2d week of the season).
FOX: It was FOX’s turn for the late NFL game, giving THE SIMPSONS an inflated 2.6 (up 1.1 from last week). BROOKLYN NINE-NINE benefited as well, up 0.4 to 1.9, and FAMILY GUY gained 0.2 to 1.7, with THE LAST MAN ON EARTH up 0.1 to 1.5.
NBC: SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL had a preliminary 7.3, steady with last week’s early number.
CW finally winds down its summer tonight, with season finales for PENN & TELLER: FOOL US, WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY and SIGNIFICANT MOTHER.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
