A mixed night for the networks.
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: GREY’S ANATOMY, which aired an unusual high-concept episode, may have suffered for it, dropping 0.2 to tie its series low 1.9. NOTORIOUS, on the other hand, gained 0.1 to a still-awful 0.9, and HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER was steady at 1.2.
CBS: THE BIG BANG THEORY had a 0.3 bounce to 3.4. THE GREAT INDOORS (1.7) and LIFE IN PIECES (1.4) were each up 0.1, and MOM rose 0.2 to 1.5. PURE GENIUS held at 0.9.
FOX: ROSEWOOD slipped 0.1 to 0.7, and PITCH fell 0.2 to 0.7 with the end of baseball season.
CW: LEGENDS OF TOMORROW stayed at 0.6, and SUPERNATURAL dropped 0.1 to 0.6.
NBC: Affiliates in both Baltimore and Cleveland simulcast THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, so the numbers will likely come down this afternoon. For the moment, two half-hours of SUPERSTORE are at 1.3/1.4, CHICAGO MED is at 1.5, and THE BLACKLIST is at 1.4.
There are new episodes of all regular series on the networks tonight.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
