Though it built on its &#8220;Go On&#8221; lead-in (1.1 rating, 2.43 million), ranked as NBC&#8217;s second-best program of the night (behind &#8220;The Office,&#8221; 1.7 with 3.42 million) and holds up against NBC&#8217;s other weekly 10PM programs, this is still a disappointing premiere number for such a heavily-hyped show.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The heavily-hyped premiere of &#8220;Hannibal&#8221; ranked as NBC&#8217;s top program in the overnight metered market ratings, reports TV Media Insights.<\/p>\n<p>But was it a truly good bow for the show?  The overnights do not make it clear (though they do reveal miniscule overall viewership).<\/p>\n<p>With even &#8220;The Office&#8221; trapped in a trench of soft ratings, NBC&#8217;s Thursday numbers have been weak all season.  And that makes it hard to render an early assessment on &#8220;Hannibal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Its 3.1 in the overnights represents a year-over-year gain over failed timeslot occupant &#8220;Awake&#8221; (2.1) and a slight intra-network victory over &#8220;The Office&#8221; (2.7), but it still reflects a very slim overall audience, and it makes no commentary on performance within adults 18-49.<\/p>\n<p>The previous original episode of &#8220;The Office&#8221; managed a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating with a 2.6 in the overnights, but there is no guarantee &#8220;Hannibal&#8221; will skew the same way.  In fact, due to the nature of the content, it almost certainly skewed older.<\/p>\n<p>One irrefutable positive?  &#8220;Hannibal&#8221; built considerably on its &#8220;Go On&#8221; lead-in.  The Matthew Perry-fronted comedy posted a 1.8 overnight number.<\/p>\n<p>Other NBC overnight numbers: &#8220;Community&#8221; (2.1.), &#8220;Parks and Recreation&#8221; (2.3).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","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":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Early &quot;Hannibal&quot; Premiere Ratings Revealed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: &quot;Hannibal&quot; opened to a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating with 4.31 million viewers.
