Ratings: “Scandal” Falls To New Series Low, “How To Get Away With Murder” Ties Low

ABC’s “TGIT” dramas suffered losses this week.

Airing out of “Toy Story Of Terror” rather than its usual “Grey’s Anatomy” lead-in, Thursday’s “Scandal” fell to new series lows in adults 18-49 and overall viewership.

It led into “How To Get Away With Murder,” which tied its low in the demo and set a new one in viewers.

According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, Thursday’s “Scandal” drew a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 4.67 million overall viewers.

Barring upward adjustments in the final report, the numbers will rank as new low points for “Scandal.”

Last week’s episode drew a 1.2 in the demo and 5.00 million in viewership.

“HTGAWM” posted a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating and 3.58 million viewers this week. Last week’s episode posted a 1.0 and 3.88 million.

— Rather than “Grey’s,” the 8PM hour featured “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” (1.4, 5.99 million) and “Toy Story of Terror” (1.1, 4.76 million).
