Ratings Review: NEW GIRL (Season Two)

It was not a good year for NEW GIRL. For most of the year the series was surrounded by programs that not many viewers cared to watch. By being in the middle of the comedy block, viewers did not think it was worth hanging around to watch the sophomore series. But, once BEN AND KATE were cancelled and eliminated from the schedule, Ratings rose back to acceptable levels, especially in the A18-49 ratings.

For the season, NEW GIRL averaged 3.97 million viewers and a 2.1 rating in Adults 18-49. That covers its 32 airings, including 7 repeats.

The scheduling did not change much for FOX. It is still keeping a Tuesday comedy block and NEW GIRL may again be surrounded by dead comedies. However, with a full 3rd season, it almost guarantees the series to last for five seasons. The magical number for syndication.
