Final Broadcast Ratings: October 20, 2014

Opening up its second season, on Monday Night, THE MILLERS bowed in with some relatively disappointing numbers. It drew 8.9 million viewers and a 2.1 rating in Adults 18-49. It lost 44% of THE BIG BANG THEORY's viewership lead in and 54% of the demo rating. Not a good start to lose so many viewers. Thing will only get worse once BIG BANG move to Thursdays and 2 BROKE GIRLS is the lead in.

NBC had a great night, winning each hour in the A18-49 ratings. However, each program is down from last week's numbers, with THE VOICE losing 15% in the A18-49 demographic. The viewership of the competition series was off by 1.4 million. THE BLACK LIST was also down 15% in the demo, but viewership was down just a few 100k.

Although the new for THE MILLERS was not good, better news came from SCORPION and NCIS: LA. Freshman series SCORPION held up well with the lesser lead in program, increasing viewership by nearly two million, and jumped the demo up by 14%, for the 9 p.m. hour. NCIS: LA placed second, to the BLACKLIST, beating CASTLE in the A18-49 ratings by two tenths of a point.

On FOX, SLEEPY HOLLOW saw some modest gains, week-to-week. The second year series rose 250,000 viewers and one tenth of a ratings point in the A18-49 demographic. The increase came despite a slight decrease from GOTHAM's numbers.

ABC was the most watched network of the night, bu was 4th in the A18-49 ratings. DANCING WITH THE STARS was 4th in the demographic ratings, for its two hour run-time, and CASTLE was last during the 10 p.m. hour.
