Update:<\/b> The drop was not as massive as last week’s tumble, but it was a drop nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Ratings for episode three of “Agents of SHIELD” fell by 15% to a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating. Though not significant enough to immediately sound any alarms, the drop is not miniscule enough to provide certainty that “SHIELD” will not fall farther in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Of particular concern was the fact that its viewership declined over the course of the broadcast. Its 7.72 million viewer average came from half hours of 8.00 million and 7.44 million.<\/p>\n

ABC’s 9PM comedy “The Goldbergs” fell to a 2.0 rating with 5.73 million viewers, while “Trophy Wife” was steady, but still disappointing, with a 1.4 and 4.69 million viewers.<\/em>
\n===============<\/p>\n

Offering hope that it will settle into a solid range for ABC, “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” avoided another significant ratings drop Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It did not avoid a decline completely — it was down to a 5.3 overnight metered market rating, 5% below what it posted last week — but it certainly conveyed more stability than it did with last week’s ratings crash. And if the adults 18-49 and total viewership experience the same, modest drop, the news will be very good for ABC and its heavily-hyped action series.<\/p>\n

ABC’s 9PM comedy “The Goldbergs,” which drifted into underwhelming–but still acceptable–territory last week, fell to a 4.0 in the overnights Tuesday. Lead-out “Trophy Wife” matched last week’s 3.3, but insofar as last week’s episode flopped in the adults 18-49 and viewership categories, stability is not a good thing in this case. It needed to grow.<\/p>\n

Filling in for the canceled “Lucky 7,” a re-run of “Scandal” posted a barely-there 2.3 at 10PM.<\/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":[233,238,228,880,881],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n"Agents of SHIELD" Avoids Another Big Ratings Drop<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: The drop was not as massive as last week's tumble, but it was a drop nonetheless.
