Update:<\/b> Thursday’s “Grey’s Anatomy” received an upward adjustment in the final ratings report. As a result, it ended up tying an existing series low in adults 18-49, rather than setting a new one.<\/p>\n
According to national data posted by Showbuzz, Thursday’s episode drew a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 6.84 million overall viewers. Last week’s broadcast was good for a 1.8 and 7.15 million.<\/p>\n
“Grey’s Anatomy” led into “Station 19,” which drew a 1.0 rating and averaged 5.09 million. The numbers trail the 1.2 and 5.86 million mark posted by the previous broadcast.<\/p>\n
Whereas those two shows were down this week, fellow “TGIT” series “Scandal” posted a week-over-week gain. Thursday’s episode drew a 0.9 in the demo and 3.83 million in viewers, topping the 0.8 rating and 3.71 million viewer mark scored by the previous broadcast.
\n====<\/p>\n
Should the preliminary ratings report hold, Thursday’s “Grey’s Anatomy” will rank as the long-running series’ lowest-rated episode on record.<\/p>\n
According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, Thursday’s “Grey’s” drew a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 6.75 million overall viewers.<\/p>\n
Last week’s episode drew a 1.8 and 7.15 million viewers.<\/p>\n
This week’s demo rating represents a new series low for “Grey’s Anatomy,” which had never previously gone below a 1.7. The viewership tally narrowly avoids the all-time low distinction; an eleventh season drew 6.64 million viewers on April 2, 2015.<\/p>\n
“Grey’s” sometimes receives an upward adjustment in the final national ratings report, so it is too early to definitively declare this week’s episode the outright lowest-rated on record.<\/p>\n
And even if the number does hold, it is still solid for any 2018 network television series — let alone a drama in its fourteenth season.<\/p>\n
“Grey’s” led into “Station 19,” which drew a 1.0 rating and 5.12 million in overall viewership. Last week’s episode posted a 1.2 and 5.86 million.<\/p>\n
“Scandal” closed the night with a slight week-over-week increase. Its 0.9 rating and 3.88 million viewer mark top last week’s 0.8 rating and 3.71 million viewer sum.<\/p>\n
Granted, it is still one of only two “Scandal” episodes to draw a fractional rating in the demo and fewer than 4 million in overall viewership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two “TGIT” shows dropped this week, while the other ticked up.","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":[233,76,228,10719],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
