THE VOICE hauled in12.1 million viewers and a 3.4 rating in Adults 18-49, just slightly down from last night's season premiere. BEST TIME EVER was down in total viewership, but saw a 20% growth in the A18-49 demographic and 33% growth in the A18-34 demo. But we could see a significant adjustment to both shows (THE VOICE up and BTE/NPH down) when finals are released.THE MUPPETS was the nights best series premiere, topping both SCREAM QUEENS and LIMITLESS. The new family comedy brought in 8.9 million viewers and a 2.8 rating in Adults 18-49. it was the #2 show during the 8 p.m. hour, behind THE VOICE. It was also ABC's top program of the night, in all three demographics.
LIMITLESS was the most watched new series and won the 10 p.m. hour. it did slightly improve the year-to-year ratings as 2014 season premiere of PERSON OF INTEREST only drew a 1.7 rating in the A18-49 demo.
Although only four million viewers tuned into the premiere of SCREAM QUEENS, it is tons better than any of the new FOX shows, last fall and improved the year-to-year numbers for Tuesday night.
