Final Broadcast Ratings: February 24, 2015
For the second night in a row, NBC dominated the A18-49 demographic ratings, thanks tot he return of THE VOICE. Grabbing 13.8 million viewers and a 3.9 demo, THE VOICE was mostly flat, from night one. NBC is in a huge need of good ratings as the rest of the schedule is either struggling, or outright tanking.
Speaking of tanking, the low rated series, PARKS & REC, had its series finale and had a season best 4.2 million viewers and a 1.6 demo rating. It was second in the 10 p.m. hour, in the A18-49 ratings, but last in total viewership. This long over due finale just shows how weak of a series it has been and why NBC has done little in series development, for the past decade.
CBS was the top network in total viewers, with NCIS and the NEW ORLEANS editions were the two most watched programs of the night. Both crime series were #2 in the A18-49 ratings, in their respective time slots. Both shows were down from the previous week's numbers. PERSON OF INTEREST won the 10 p.m. hour, in both viewers and demo, with 9.5 million viewers and a 1.7 demo.
ABC was a distant third on the night. placing 4th in the 8 p.m. hour and tied for 3rd in the 9 p.m. hour. AGENT CARTER's short first season came to a close, with an unimpressive 4.0 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating. it was decent filler for AGENTS OF SHIELD, but did not spark the hour like ABC had hoped. New comedy FRESH OFF THE BOAT looks like the real thing, posting the network's best numbers and holding 95% of last week's demo number.
MASTERCHEF JUNIOR's second edition of the TV season came to a close. The numbers were down, week-to-week, with the series losing 700,000 viewers and 10% in the demo. It did a decent job filling in for a horrible fall schedule, by FOX, and was not set to go against the bigger guns of Tuesday nights.
