ABC Family continued its successful summer Monday; the premieres of “Huge” and “Make it or Break It” debuted to solid ratings.
“Huge” opened to a strong 2.533 million viewers with a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating, retaining a solid portion of its “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” lead-in (2.999 million viewers, 1.2 rating). Among teens, the show garnered a strong 2.9 rating, while its women 18-34 figure was a 1.9.
Although “Make it or Break It” was down from its last premiere, its 1.830 million viewership made for a solid showing at 10PM (a timeslot in which “Greek” had routinely struggled to hit the 1 million mark). The show scored a 0.7 with adults 18-49, a 1.4 with women 18-34 and and a 2.2 with teens.
The difference between Greek and Make It Or Break It however is Greek ran during Winter Months (meaning school for many of it’s viewers.) So you really can’t compare the Summer 10PM slot to the Winter 10PM slot.
It might make a slight difference, but believe me, as one of the biggest “Greek” supporters out there, there is no indication that “Greek” could pull these numbers in the summer. It’s always had a smaller audience, and even when airing at friendlier times, struggles to appeal to the YOUNGER portion of ABC Family’s crowd.
