Ratings Review: BENCHED (Season One)

The USA Network comedy BENCHED is just the latest example of how the network is trying to change its programming away from buddy crime dramas to more comedy. Unfortunately, like most sitcoms, BENCHED did not reach an audience and will not be back for a second season.

The 12 episode season only managed to draw one million viewers, or more, just one time. The A18-49 demographic rating drew not much more than a 0.3 rating, or roughly 380,000 people.

For the season, BENCHED averaged just 828,000 viewers and a 0.3 rating in Adults 18-49. If you were one of those few fans of the series, it should not be too long before the season will hit the streaming services, like Netflix.
