Absent an original episode of CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory,” Thursday was tailormade for a “Scandal” ratings victory.<\/p>\n
The buzzworthy ABC drama made good on that opportunity.<\/p>\n
Leading out of veteran “Grey’s Anatomy,” which posted a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating with 8.88 million viewers, “Scandal” delivered a 2.9 adults 18-49 rating with 9.22 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Down only slightly in the demo despite the potential impact of Halloween, “Scandal” was the night’s top-rated show in the adults 18-49 demographic. Its viewership average, however, ranked fourth behind CBS’ 8PM “Big Bang” re-run (2.5 rating, 11.56 million viewers), new 8:30PM comedy “The Millers” (2.0 rating, 9.57 million) and “Elementary” (1.6 rating, 9.35 million).<\/p>\n
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” which aired in the 8PM hour for ABC, drew a healthy 2.2 rating with 6.96 million viewers.<\/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":[1048,437],"tags":[233,76,228,150],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
