Ratings Review: RIZZOLI & ISLES (Season Five - Summer)

It was another strong season for RIZZOLI & ISLES, as it finishes the summer of 2014 as one of the most watched series of the season.

It looked as if viewership was starting to fall as the numbers fell one million viewers, from the season premiere to episode five, and hitting a season low with episode seven. But, the numbers did start to climb back up and episode nine was the second most watched of the season.

DVR viewership is still strong as close to 50% growth, from the Live+SD numbers, are added on tot the seven day totals. The growth in the A18-49 ratings is even larger, approaching 70%, or more.

For the summer, RIZZOLI & ISLES averaged 5.24 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. More season five episodes are on their way, in early 2015.
