Episode four of ABC’s “The Catch” endured a slight week-to-week decline in adults 18-49 and total viewership.
It nonetheless repeated as its timeslot’s highest-rated and most-watched broadcast network show.
Per fast national data first shared by Showbuzz, Thursday’s episode drew a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating and 4.81 million total live+same-day viewers. The numbers trail the 1.1 and 4.89 million drawn by last week’s episode but best the 0.9/4.26 million posted by CBS’ 10PM drama “Rush Hour” and 0.8/3.98 million drawn by NBC’s 10PM series “Game Of Silence.”
Of note: instead of “Scandal,” this week’s “The Catch” led out of a two-hour “Grey’s Anatomy.” In averaging a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating and 7.97 million total viewers across those two hours (2.2 and 7.84 million at 9PM), “Grey’s” drew markedly better than “Scandal” has in recent weeks.
Since Thursday lacked an original “The Big Bang Theory,” “Grey’s” actually ranked as broadcast’s #1 Thursday night show in adults 18-49. A “Big Bang” re-run still led the night in total viewers.
