In not only holding the series until the summer but airing its premiere on Memorial Day, ABC clearly did not have colossal expectations for “Still Star-Crossed.”
The show did not offer a pleasant ratings surprise.
According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, Monday’s series opener posted a paltry 0.5 adults 18-49 rating. It averaged only 2.43 million overall viewers.
Poor in any context, the figures are particularly weak given the show’s lead-in support. ABC led into “Still Star-Crossed” with “The Bachelorette,” which drew a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating and 5.67 million overall viewers in the 9PM hour.
