Ratings Review: 2 BROKE GIRLS (Season Two)

For its second season, 2 BROKE GIRLS was given the networks prime spot on its traditionally big comedy night. It would be the leader of Monday nights. Unfortunately, 2BG couldn't live up to the standard established by former occupants of the time slot, TWO AND A HALF MEN, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND and MURPHY BROWN.

Don't get me wrong. The sophomore sitcom is still one of the higher rated shows on TV. It is just not an elite sitcom the time slot usually demands.

For the season, 2 BROKE GIRLS drew an average of 8.7 million viewers and a 2.9 rating in Adults 18-49. There were 33 airings of the series, nine of which were repeat episodes.
