Ratings Review: MARRIED (Season One)

Late night comedies rarely work and MARRIED is no exception. The series continues FX's run of disappointing new sitcoms that produce low ratings, and may be the straw that broke the 10/90 experiment.

FX says it will rely/report on a series Live+3 ratings, but after the first episode only growing 380k in total viewership, that practice was quickly over. The numbers sank as much as 60% from the series premiere, and even if the L+3 numbers doubled, it is still horrible ratings.

For the 10 episode season, MARRIED averaged just 670,000 viewers and a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49. Do not expect FX to pick up the back 90 of this project.
