It was the season’s most heavily-hyped pilot, and it seems to have delivered in its debut.<\/p>\n
According to TV Media Insights, the premiere of “Agents of SHIELD” attracted a healthy 7.7 overnight metered market rating Tuesday. There is no precise guarantee on how the rating will translate to an adults 18-49 number, but given the expected young skew, it should perform very well there as well.<\/p>\n
(Update:<\/b> “Agents of SHIELD” delivered a 4.6 adults 18-49 rating with 11.9 million viewers. The performance was an irrefutable victory for ABC)<\/em><\/p>\n ABC followed “SHIELD” with new comedies “The Goldbergs” and “Trophy Wife.” The former, which delivered a 6.0 overnight rating, seems to have held up reasonably well given the appointment nature of its lead-in, but there was a notable drop-off for the latter. From 9:30-10, the Malin Akerman comedy averaged just a 4.7 in the overnights.<\/p>\n Things then got even worse for the premiere of ABC’s new hourlong series “Lucky 7.” It averaged a paltry 3.1 metered market rating at 10PM.<\/p>\n (Update: Following a solid premiere for “The Goldbergs” (3.2 rating, 9.1 million), “Trophy Wife” fell to a 2.3 with 6.6 million. Though a respectable number in a vacuum, the show’s dip from its lead-in, also a half-hour sitcom, was disappointing.<\/p>\n “Lucky 7” irrefutably flopped with a 1.3 and 4.6 million viewers.<\/em><\/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":[3,437],"tags":[233,238,880,881],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
