Ratings: Broadcast Fianls for February 27, 2014

Although the ratings are up from their fall finale's, back on December 12, 2013, I would have expected bigger numbers for the return of both GREY'S ANATOMY and SCANDAL. They each won their time periods and were just two of the three programs with a A18-49 rating of a three or above, but it seems a bit deflated considering the two and a half month layoff.

The flipping of TWO AND A HALF MEN and THE CRAZY ONES did result into a net gain for the hour. On February 6th, the two shows averaged just 7.9 million viewers. Last night, the average jumped to 8.8 million. In the demo, the change was from a 1.85 rating to a 2.2 rating. A definite improvement. However, ELEMENTARY may have felt the effects of having a lesser lead in as it was down one million viewers and 11% in the demo, from it's last original episode.

Over on FOX, it was low numbers too as IDOL posted near a season Thursday low in the A18-49 ratings, with a 2.4 score. RAKE still hasn't found rock bottom as the series hit yet another series low.

NBC was back to reality as not a single program could find an audience of over 4 million. HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT performed not much better than the two recently cancelled comedies SEAN SAVES THE WORLD and THE MICHAEL J FOX SHOW. But it was, sadly, the top program of the night for the network.
