Preliminary Ratings: Saturday 02/22/2014

The final Saturday night of the Winter Olympics will end up being the least watched night of the 18 day event. NBC drew just 12.9 million viewers and a poor 2.7 rating in Adults 18-49.  America may be ready for the games to end.

Following the Olympics, on NBC, was the premiere of the new comedy ABOUT A BOY. Starting at 11:05 p.m., BOY is not included in the primetime ratings, but the reported numbers are decent, at best. 8.3 million viewers and a 2.2 demo rating stayed up to watch the single camera comedy. It did get more eyes on it than it normally would have had with a regular premiere, but the numbers are not that great.
