If you re NBC you re opening up Nielsen s email with Wednesday night s ratings and peeking at it through your fingers like it s a horror movie You know the numbers are going to be scary you just don t know how scary.
NBC moved Revolution from having a Voice lead in on Monday nights to self start on its troubled Wednesdays this fall and gave the coveted reality show lead in to new James Spader drama The Blacklist instead. Even with typically having a Voice lead in Revolution had fallen off a fair amount through its first run of episode. Last night season two debuted. How did the post apocalyptic drama hold up Let s take a peek
Revolution had 6.8 million viewers and a 1.8 adults 18 49 rating. That s down 56 percent from its series premiere and a bit lower than what the show averaged at the end of last season as well. Revolution also came in behind ABC comedies CBS Survivor and Fox s The X Factor. Yup Revolution disarmed by Simon Cowell who had a 15 percent bump this week. You can make an argument that this rating isn t nearly as bad as it could have been and that NBC was sure doing worse in this slot last season. And there s certainly logic to that. It s just tough to get excited about fourth place.
There was some clearly positive news for NBC The two hour Law Order SVU return jumped 29 percent thanks to having a semi decent lead in.
Over on ABC new comedy Back in the Game (7.9 million 2.2) was an improvement vs. The Neighbors debut in this slot last year.
Otherwise otherwise
The grid is a bit grim okay ABC s The Middle Down 17 percent. Modern Family Nashville Both down 25 percent. On CBS Survivor slipped. Criminal Minds skidded 10 percent CSI dropped 16 percent. On The CW something called Capture ended. Full chart
