Update: FOX’s “New Girl” indeed delivered a series low performance Tuesday.
Per final broadcast data, Tuesday’s episode slipped to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating with 2.14 million viewers. Last week’s episode, which was a poor performer in its own right, scored a 1.0 with 2.32 million.
Despite the slight lead-in reduction and the introduction of competition from “The Voice,” “Weird Loners” held steady in the adults 18-49 demographic. Like last week’s premiere, it delivered a 0.7 rating.
Its viewership total fell from 1.89 million to 1.71 million.
The week-over-week stability does not, however, change the fact that the numbers themselves are minuscule.
=============
The ratings woes continue for FOX’s “New Girl,” which fast national data reveals hit series lows in adults 18-49 and total viewership this week.
According to that fast national report, Tuesday’s “New Girl” drew a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating with 2.18 million viewers. Barring upward adjustments in the final ratings report, it will represent the series’ lowest-rated and least-watched episode on record.
Last week’s episode, which came on the heels of FOX’s announcement that the show was renewed for a fifth season, drew a 1.0 rating with 2.32 million viewers.
Despite the week-over-week reduction, freshman comedy “Weird Loners” matched last week’s 0.7 adults 18-49 ratings. Its viewership total, however, fell from 1.89 million last week to 1.72 million this week.
While the stability is admirable, the performance is still poor by any reasonable standard.
