Ratings Review: MISTRESSES (Season Three)

Between more and more quality original shows on cable and streaming services and the loss of Alyssa Milano after the second season, MISTRESSES is feeling the effects in the ratings. Season three is the lowest rated of the summer drama, with little excitement behind and for the series. I have a feeling that ABC will not renew the series for a fourth season, in 2016.

In the Live+SD ratings, MISTRESSES averaged 3.14 million viewers, a 0.5 rating in the A18-34 demo, a 0.7 rating in the A18-49 rating and a 1.0 rating in the A25-54 demo. That is about  20% drop in viewership and 30% in the A18-49 demo, from season two's averages.

In the Live+3 ratings, viewership rose one million viewers and 0.4 points in the A18-49 demographic. The Live+7 ratings brings the total averages to 4.33 million viewers (+38%) and and a 1.2 rating (+60%) in the A18-49 demo.
