SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORKS SCORECARD – 12.6.2017

 

A fairly stable evening.

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:  Leaving aside Thanksgiving night (when the episodes were designated as “specials”), comparisons are to November 15.  SURVIVOR was up 0.1 to 1.8 (also steady with last week’s 2-hour episode), SEAL TEAM held at 1.1, but CRIMINAL MINDS fell 0.1 to tie its series low 0.9.

ABC:  THE GOLDBERGS gained 0.1 to 1.5, SPEECHLESS was steady at 1.1, MODERN FAMILY rose 0.1 to 1.7, and AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE was up 0.2 to 1.2.  DESIGNATED SURVIVOR remained at 0.7.

NBC:  After a 0.8 rerun of A VERY PENTATONIX CHRISTMAS, SVU fell 0.2 from last week (when it had a much bigger lead-in from CHRISTMAS AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER) to 1.3, and CHICAGO PD was down 0.1 to 1.2.

FOX:  EMPIRE rose 0.1 to 1.8, and STAR stayed at 1.2.

CW:  RIVERDALE (0.5) and DYNASTY (0.2) were steady.

It’s already time for a season finale, as FOX’s THE ORVILLE, already renewed for next season, ends its scheduled 13-episode run.  On cable, USA brings the gang back together for PSYCH: THE MOVIE.

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