GREY’S ANATOMY made history and won the night.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day 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: GREYS ANATOMY, now the longest-running medical drama in US TV history, slipped 0.1 to 1.6. The season finale of A MILLION LITTLE THINGS was steady at 1.1, and impressively was also steady with last fall’s season premiere (on a Wednesday). The season finale of HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER gained 0.1 from last week to 0.6, but dropped a heavy 0.4 from last year’s finale (which was itself down 0.4 from 2017).
NBC: THE TITAN GAMES season finale lost 0.1 to 1.0. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE (0.7) and WILL & GRACE (0.6) were each down 0.1. The night ended with a rerun of the pilot of THE ENEMY WITHIN at 0.4.
FOX: GOTHAM (0.6) and THE ORVILLE (0.8) were steady.
