This article, New Fall Show Ratings, Part 2: More Winners and Losers, originally appeared on TV.com.
Sorry to break the news to you, but your fandom only counts for so much when it comes to keeping a television show around. What really matters are these almost arbitrary numbers taken from an incredibly small sample size of people who may or may not accurately relay their viewing habits to a data-driven research corporation that's using a system that is about two decades out of date. Yep, Nielsen ratings.We looked at the first round of numbers from Premiere Week last week, but with more premieres happening since that piece aired and all-important second episodes also airing, it's back to the numbers to extrapolate some sort of trend and whip up some quick takes on what's doing well and what isn't doing well. And you will be surprised to see the names of shows in the "doing just fine" category, I promise you! Let's get to it.(All data taken from the good people at TV By the Numbers. All data is final except for Sunday's, which wasn't available as of press time.)Note: An asterisk (*) denotes a series in its second week. All others are premieres.THE GOOD
Dr. Ken (ABC, Friday at 8:30pm) 6.67 million viewers, 1.4 rating in the 18-to-49 demographic* Quantico (ABC, Sunday at 10pm) 6.94 million, 1.9 rating / premiered with 7.1 million, 1.9 rating* Limitless (CBS, Tuesday at 10pm) 9.73 million, 1.9 rating / premiered with 9.86 million, 1.9 rating* Blindspot (NBC, Monday at 10pm) 9.11 million viewers, 2.6 rating / premiered with 10.61 million, 3.1 ratingWhat a world we live in where Dr. Ken is the biggest success story in Week 2 of the fall season! Yeah those numbers aren't a reason to drop the confetti, but a 1.4 rating was good enough to make Dr. Ken the highest-rated scripted program of the night, losing out only to Shark Tank's 1.7 but beating everything else, including improving on its Last Man Standing lead-in, The Amazing Race, Hawaii Five-0, and Blue Bloods. A lot of Friday's programming was repeats, but still, that's an impressive debut for an ABC multi-cam comedy that was absolutely trashed in reviews (a paltry 26 score on Metacritic, and one of TV.com's five worst pilots of the fall). There's no way it holds, though, right?- end quote from:
