Ratings Review: CRISIS (Season One)

NBC mad a strong push to bring viewers to Sunday night, during the spring time of the TV season. But, in the end, CRISIS failed to capture an audience and help NBC be nothing more than Football on Sunday Night.

It looked like a good cast, a time slot it could compete in and a long, arcing story line that would keep viewers interested all season. But, as the season progressed, the viewership and ratings fell off. Personally, I was pulling for the show, even though I never watched it. I wanted to see Gillian Anderson do well with a new show.

For the 13 episode season, CRISIS averaged 3.96 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. NBC will go back to the drawing board on how to program the night, other than football, which it only has for 17 weeks of the season.
