Scandal [ABC]
Update: The morning ratings report suggested that Thursday’s “Scandal” enjoyed a slight gain while “Grey’s Anatomy” endured a slight loss in the adults 18-49 demographic.
The final ratings report reveals otherwise.
It turns out that “Scandal” and “Grey’s,” like fellow “TGIT” series “How To Get Away With Murder,” held steady in the demo. They suffered losses in average viewership.
Final data posted by Showbuzz lists “Scandal” at a 1.6 in adults 18-49 and 6.60 million in viewership (versus 1.6, 6.22 million last week), “Grey’s” at a 2.1 in adults 18-49 and 7.68 million in viewership (versus a 2.1 and 8.46 million last week) and “HTGAWM” at a 1.3 in adults 18-49 and 4.66 million in viewership (versus a 1.3 and 4.92 million last week).
