While last week’s ratings report brought bad news in the form of a series low “The Blacklist” performance, a follow-up report softened the blow by confirming that the series received its largest live+3 time-shifting boost on record.
This week’s initial ratings report, meanwhile, confirms a week-over-week uptick for NBC’s drama. Per fast national data, Thursday’s episode drew a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating with 6.75 live+same-day viewers.
Insofar as the two marks rank as the series’ second-worst on record, they are not independent causes for celebration. Such celebration should only come in conjunction with the fact that they best last week’s series low 1.2 adults 18-49 rating and 6.60 million viewership sum.
NBC also aired an 8PM re-run of “Law & Order: SVU” (0.6, 3.31 million) and a 10PM “Dateline” (0.8, 4.92 million).
