Now we know how NBC’s sitcoms perform without a new LITTLE BIG SHOTS lead-in.
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.
NBC: With LITTLE BIG SHOTS reruns at 0.7/1.1 as their lead-in, THE CARMICHAEL SHOW plunged 0.4 from its last airing 2 weeks ago to 0.7, and CROWDED fell 0.2 from last week’s 9:30PM episode to 0.7. DATELINE ended the night down 0.3 to 0.9.
ABC: AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS climbed 0.2 to 1.2, then ONCE UPON A TIME, THE FAMILY and QUANTICO were all steady at 1.2/0.8/1.0.
CBS: 60 MINUTES held at 1.0, then MADAM SECRETARY gained 0.1 to 1.0, while THE GOOD WIFE and ELEMENTARY remained at 1.0/0.7.
FOX: BORDERTOWN started the night down 0.1 to 0.4, followed by a 0.6 rerun of THE SIMPSONS. A new THE SIMPSONS was steady with its last fresh episode at 1.2, BOB’S BURGERS rose 0.1 to 1.1, a rerun FAMILY GUY was at 1.0, and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH fell 0.2 to 0.9 (after having aired last with an original FAMILY GUY as lead-in).
SCORPION and LUCIFER air season finales tonight; both have already been renewed, so nothing is particularly at stake. Similarly, REIGN returns for the balance of its season already knowing it will be back.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
