Based on the overnight household ratings, The CW’s Monday tandem of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Jane The Virgin” began the season in disappointing fashion.
Airing at 8PM, the “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” launch drew a mere 0.8 overnight household rating. While The CW does tend to skew young, the low overnight household rating assures the adults 18-49 rating will not be impressive.
“Jane The Virgin” spent its first season accumulating critical acclaim, but that acclaim did not translate into an elevated season two premiere performance. “Jane” drew the same 0.8 overnight household rating as its lead-in.
Last year’s series premiere posted a stronger – but still soft – 1.1.
Adults 18-49 and total viewership data should be available by 11:15AM ET.
