SHOWBUZZDAILY TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12.1.2015

 

A bad night for ABC.

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.

Fasts Demo 2015 Dec TUE.01

ABC:  The unusual family competition on CBS may have siphoned off the ABC audience, as THE MUPPETS fell 0.1 to 1.1, a new low, and FRESH OFF THE BOAT dropped 0.2 to a season low 1.2.  AGENTS OF SHIELD remained at 1.3, but pending tonight’s ARROW, that still makes it the lowest-rated superhero show of the week.  The night concluded with a 0.9 SHARK TANK rerun.

CBS:  The year’s airing of RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER was down half a point from last year to 2.3, but it did have an excuse, since last year it benefited from the fuss over its 50th anniversary on the air.  Reruns at 1.1/0.9 followed.

NBC:  THE VOICE jumped half a point to 2.6, and consequently CHICAGO MED gained 0.2 to 2.0, and CHICAGO FIRE was up 0.1 to 1.9.

FOX:  GRANDFATHERED and THE GRINDER remained at 0.9 and 0.7, while SCREAM QUEENS managed an extra 0.1 to 0.9.

CW:  The hotly promoted 2-night THE FLASH/ARROW crossover (also an elaborate set-up for the upcoming LEGENDS OF TOMORROW) didn’t pay off for THE FLASH, which stayed at 1.4.  IZOMBIE was up 0.1 to 0.6.

EMPIRE airs its fall finale tonight, and NBC has its annual CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER SPECIAL preceding an SNL clip show.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
