While it remains to be seen how the show will fare in the official ratings, the early numbers are promising for Sunday’s “This Is Us.”<\/p>\n

Citing metered market data, NBC says the post-Super Bowl episode drew a 16.2 overnight household rating.<\/p>\n

The figure ranks as the best for a post-Super Bowl broadcast since the 20.0 attained by NBC’s own “The Voice” in 2012.<\/p>\n

The number, moreover, tops that of last year’s post-Super Bowl “24: Legacy” premiere by a whopping 59%.<\/p>\n

The episode will obviously rank as the most-watched “This Is Us” yet (of course, insofar as it will almost certainly be coded as a “special,” it will not count toward the show’s historical average). The show’s previous overnight high (9.0) came for the first season finale.<\/p>\n

National adults 18-49 and overall viewership data should be available later Monday.<\/p>\n

— NBC’s other Sunday Night programming included Super Bowl LII (47.4) and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” (5.7).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“This Is Us” was up 59% from last year’s “24: Legacy” premiere.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":105959,"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":[246,210,485,582],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nOvernight Ratings: "This Is Us" Delivers Best Post-Super Bowl Performance In 6 Years<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"While it remains to be seen how the show will fare in the official ratings, the early numbers are promising for Sunday's "This Is Us."
