Dancing With the Stars lost another step.
ABC: DANCING WITH THE STARS had its worst season premiere ever, down 0.8 from last fall and 0.2 from Spring 2014 to 2.4–and it’s only going to get worse, because the ABC station in Indianapolis carried a simulcast of the ESPN Monday Night Football game. That will likely bring Dancing down another 0.1-0.2.
CBS: UNDER THE DOME understandably parks up when the rerun in front of it is THE BIG BANG THEORY (at 1.3, it was 0.4 higher than last week’s 9:30PM 2 1/2 Men rerun), and Dome climbed 0.2 to 1.6.
FOX: The 2-hour MASTERCHEF season finale grew 0.2 from last week to 2.0.
NBC: A 3-hour “event” AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR was at 1.8, the same as last week’s 2-hour episode.
CW: AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL stayed at 0.4.
FOX gets a jump on next week’s official start to the fall season by airing the season premieres of NEW GIRL and THE MINDY PROJECT tonight–however, they air after the latest episode of the so-far dismally rated UTOPIA, which won’t help. ABC, CBS and NBC each have fresh unscripted programming. On cable, MTV airs the season finale of FINDING CARTER.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL
The chart above goes beyond the adult 18-49 rating, adding other key advertiser sales demographics (adult 18-34 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares), and total viewership (ages 2 or more expressed in thousands of people).
