Monday’s “Lucifer” may not have drawn monster ratings, but it did outperform its past two episodes. It also posted one of the show’s best overall viewer marks of the season.<\/p>\n
According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, Monday’s “Lucifer” drew a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 3.78 million overall viewers.<\/p>\n
The numbers top the 0.7 adults 18-49 rating and 3.11 million viewer mark drawn by the previous episode.<\/p>\n
Given that said episode aired on New Year’s Day, it may make more sense to compare this week’s broadcast to the December 11 fall finale.<\/p>\n
That comparison is also favorable, as this week’s episode topped that broadcast in both adults 18-49 (0.9 vs. 0.8) and viewership (3.78m vs. 3.36m).<\/p>\n
This week’s “Lucifer,” in fact, was the most-watched episode since the season premiere.<\/p>\n
— “Lucifer” led into the time period premiere of “The Resident.”<\/p>\n
The new FOX medical drama drew a 1.0 rating and 4.67 million viewers.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the numbers top those drawn by the “Lucifer” lead-in. The demo rating, moreover, earned “The Resident” a second-place finish in the timeslot (below only ABC’s “The Bachelor”).<\/p>\n
On the other hand, they do not suggest that the show received a huge boost from Sunday’s special post-NFC Championship airing. It is unlikely Monday’s time period premiere would have done much worse had it been the actual series premiere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ratings are in for FOX’s Monday night tandem of “Lucifer” and “The Resident.”","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[255,4175,10334],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
