NBC’s revamped Sunday schedule pulled in some extra disappointing numbers to shut out the week.
Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 4 had 3.5 million viewers and a — gasp — 0.2 score within the demo.
The demo tally is, in fact, a sequence low for the struggling drama sequence.
Maybe NBC ought to have saved it on Fridays, the place it was a powerful performer for CBS.
Thankfully, NBC picked up 20 episodes of the sequence when it was saved from cancellation, however there is a excessive likelihood the present is not going to be picked up once more except the rankings flip round.
The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 2 pulled in 1.7 million viewers and a 0.1 score within the demo — down from final week’s premiere.
The sequence will get an ending this season, but it surely’s laborious to consider how a lot the present has fallen.
American Idol on ABC had 5.5 million viewers and a 0.7 score, proper on par with its week-ago efficiency.
The Company You Keep closed out the evening for ABC with 2.2 million viewers and a 0.2 score — down from final week’s 0.3 score).
The sequence would have in all probability benefited from a midweek slot, however American Idol is the strongest lead-in ABC may supply, so the erosion is a trigger for concern.
CBS went with The Equalizer (6.2 million/0.4 score), which was regular as a rock.
East New York (4.7 million/0.3 score) and NCIS: Los Angeles (4.2 million/0.3 score) have been each down within the demo.
FOX’s animated domination, consisting of The Simpsons (0.9 million/0.2 score), The Great North (0.7 million/0.2 score), and Family Guy (0.8 million/0.2 score), have been all on par with latest outcomes.
