Ratings Review: THE AMERICANS (Season Three)

THE AMERICANS, in my opinion, is the best drama on TV. It has a great story, terrific characters, and a perfectly recreated world of the early 80's. it is just too bad that not very many people are watching it.

Just four of the 13 episodes drew over one million viewers, in the Live_SD ratings. A Majority of the A18-49 ratings are on the level of The CW, around a 0.3 rating. It is not until wee see the Live+7 ratings, that the viewership waits to watch the show. Around two to two and a half time of the L+SD viewers is added to the L+7 ratings. A solid 2.25 million viewers are the base of the viewership for this series.

For the season, THE AMERICANS averaged 1.08 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in Adults 18-49. The series will be back in 2016, for a fourth season, and I, for one, am very happy.
