A pair of sitcoms got a taste of life without their lead-ins.
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.
CBS: With a rerun BIG BANG THEORY (1.3) as lead-in, YOUNG SHELDON dropped 0.3 to a series low 1.7. However, MOM (1.4) and LIFE IN PIECES (1.1) were steady, and SWAT climbed 0.1 to 1.1.
NBC: A pair of GREAT NEWS episodes ran without WILL & GRACE in the line-up, and their 0.5/0.4 ratings were far below the show’s previous 1.0 for its last airing in October. An SNL holiday clips show followed at 1.1.
ABC: A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS reran at 1.3, and a rerun of CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS was at 0.7.
FOX: Reruns at 0.3/0.3.
CW: Reruns at 0.2/0.1.
The networks are mostly in holiday mode tonight, but NBC’s BLINDSPOT and ABC’s AGENTS OF SHIELD will air new episodes.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
