Ratings Review: ROYAL PAINS (Season Seven - Summer 2015)

The end is near for the USA Network drama, ROYAL PAINS. Since the two season renewal in the fall 2014, Season seven is the first season to not have an episode draw two million, or more, in total viewers. Also, this season and next season are only 8 episodes each, down from the usual 13-18, of previous seasons.

The Live+SD ratings for ROYAL PAINS averaged 1.45 million viewers, a 0.2 rating in the A18-34 demo, a 0.4 rating in the A18-49 demo and a 0.5 rating in the A25-54 demo.

The Live+3 ratings rose the episode average 1.2 million viewers and three tenths of a point in the A18-49 demographic. The Live+7 ratings brought the average totals to 3.00 million viewers (+106%) and a 0.8 rating (+100%) in the A18-49 demo. But, the L+7 totals are still well below the L+SD ratings the series received, in Season five.
