Great Debut for WIPEOUT

ABC's new summer series WIPEOUT did great numbers in the Fast Nationals (Finals coming later).

For the 8pm hour, WIPEOUT averaged 9.85 million viewers and a 3.7 rating/12 share in the 18-49 demographic. It easily won its timeslot and tied Fox’s veteran “Hell’s Kitchen” as the top program of the night in the demo.

The numbers were even better for the second half hour of the show. It rose 28 percent from a 3.2 to a 4.1 rating in the 18-49 demo.

Finally, an ABC show I can actually watch.
