Ratings Review: BETTER CALL SAUL (Season One)

I must admit. I was wrong about BETTER CALL SAUL. I thought for sure it would be for AMC what the first few seasons of BREAKING BAD were for the network, very low rated. Now, it is not mage-hit, but it is a solid performer in the ratings.

Over the two months, the show did shed a bunch of viewers. L+SD lost over 4 million and two-third of its A18-49 audience. Even with adding in the Live+7 viewing, SAUL cant make up the eyeballs from that premiere episode.

In Live+SD ratings, BETTER CALL SAUL averaged 3.2 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49. Numbers it never reached after the third episode. The averages went up 2.9 million viewers and nearly 100% in the demo, for the Live+3 ratings. Again, the huge premiere numbers skew the averages.
