AMERICAN CRIME’s title is starting to describe its ratings.

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.

Fast Demo 2017 Apr 23.SUN

ABC:  The highest-rated Sunday series on ABC was AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS, up 0.3 to 1.0 from its last airing 2 weeks ago.  ONCE UPON A TIME rose 0.1 to 0.8, and MATCH GAME was up 0.1 to 0.7.  AMERICAN CRIME, though, fell 0.1 to a new low 0.3, which would make it a toss-up for renewal if it were a CW show.

CBS:  60 MINUTES started the night down 0.1 to 0.8, then NCIS: LA returned from a week off down 0.1 to 1.0, with MADAM SECRETARY down 0.1 to 0.7.  ELEMENTARY fell 0.1 from last week to 0.5.

NBC:  LITTLE BIG SHOTS returned from a rerun week down 0.1 to 1.2 (the 7PM rerun was at 0.5).  Then CHICAGO JUSTICE gained 0.1 to 1.0, and SHADES OF BLUE was steady at 0.7.

FOX:  The (almost) full line-up aired for the first time in 3 weeks.  After a 0.5 rerun of THE SIMPSONS, there were two episodes of BOB’S BURGERS AT 0.7/0.9; the 7:30PM episode was steady with the last original in that slot, and the 8PM ran even with the last new SIMPSONS.  MAKING HISTORY was steady at 0.6, and after a 0.8 FAMILY GUY rerun, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH was down 0.1 to 0.7.

FOX’s GOTHAM returns from a long hiatus tonight to precede the finale of APB.  On cable, A&E’s BATES MOTEL closes the shower curtain on its run.

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