THE VOICE aired a clip show and took a dip.
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: THE MUPPETS, FRESH OFF THE BOAT and AGENTS OF SHIELD all duplicated last week’s respective 1.4, 1.5 and 1.4. WICKED CITY, not very surprisingly, sank 0.2 from its already-low premiere to a near-death 0.7.
NBC: BEST TIME EVER gained 0.2 to 1.3, but THE VOICE clip show was down 0.6 from last week’s regular episode to 2.0. Nevertheless, CHICAGO FIRE held well, down just 0.1 to 1.8.
CBS: Given its demo, the CBS line-up probably benefited the most from the early end of the World Series, and all its shows were up: NCIS by 0.2 to 2.3, NCIS: NEW ORLEANS by 0.3 to 1.9, and LIMITLESS by 0.1 to 1.5.
FOX: The good news was that rushing new episodes on the air after the Series ended didn’t hurt the line-up much; it didn’t help, either. GRANDFATHERED and SCREAM QUEENS held at 1.0, while THE GRINDER lost 0.1 to 0.8.
CW: THE FLASH raced 0.1 ahead to 1.5, while IZOMBIE remained at 0.6.
ABC airs one of its big November sweeps events tonight: the CMA AWARDS, which drew a 4.5 rating in 2014.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
