Update 2: <\/strong>Despite receiving slightly weaker lead-in support, the second episode of ABC’s “Forever” actually outdrew the premiere episode in adults 18-49.<\/em><\/p>\n

The second airing scored a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating, which represented a one-tenth gain over the premiere episode’s mark.\u00a0 As far as that demo goes, “Forever” defeated CBS’ “Person of Interest” (1.6) but trailed NBC’s “Chicago Fire.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite the uptick in adults 18-49, “Forever” did decline from a viewership standpoint.\u00a0 Trading away nearly 2 million viewers from its premiere (owed to the fact that it led out of young-skewing “Agents of SHIELD” rather than total viewership powerhouse “Dancing with the Stars”), Tuesday’s episode drew 6.85 million.<\/em><\/p>\n

========<\/p>\n

Update:<\/b> When it comes to night two of ABC’s “Forever,” the 19% overnight household ratings drop did not manifest in the adults 18-49 demographic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite receiving weaker lead-in support than Monday’s episode, the Tuesday edition of “Forever” matched the premiere’s 1.7 adults 18-49 rating.<\/p>\n

Signposted by the household ratings decline, viewership did, however, fall notably. Tuesday’s episode drew 6.50 million viewers.<\/p>\n

Monday’s broadcast attracted 8.6 million.
\n===========<\/p>\n

After getting off to an unremarkable–but not necessarily terrible–start Monday<\/a>, ABC’s new drama “Forever” endured a ratings decline Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Responsible for a 4.2 overnight household rating, the second “Forever” episode trailed its predecessor by 19%. Discouraging–especially since “Forever” is not skewing in particular favor of the adults 18-49 demographic–the deflated number nonetheless makes sense in context.<\/p>\n

As the follow-up to a premiere episode, Tuesday’s broadcast was already subject to the inevitable ratings decline that affects most second episodes. Combined with a significant reduction in lead-in support (a 3.8 from Tuesday’s “Agents of SHIELD” rather than a 7.9 from Monday’s “Dancing with the Stars”), that reality all but assured “Forever” was going to slip Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Of course, insofar as “Forever” will regularly air in this timeslot (rather than out of “DWTS” on Mondays), it will ultimately need to figure out how to perform without a mammoth lead-in.<\/p>\n

Adults 18-49 and total viewership numbers will be available shortly.<\/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":[233,1947],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: ABC's "Forever" Improves in Night Two (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update 2: Despite receiving slightly weaker lead-in support, the second episode of ABC's "Forever" actually outdrew the premiere episode in adults 18-49.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/24\/ratings-abcs-forever-slips-night-two\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings: ABC's "Forever" Improves in Night Two (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update 2: Despite receiving slightly weaker lead-in support, the second episode of ABC's "Forever" actually outdrew the premiere episode in adults 18-49.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/24\/ratings-abcs-forever-slips-night-two\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-09-24T14:56:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-09-24T21:23:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Forever-2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"666\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/24\/ratings-abcs-forever-slips-night-two\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/24\/ratings-abcs-forever-slips-night-two\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings: ABC's \\\"Forever\\\" Improves in Night Two (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-09-24T14:56:41+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-09-24T21:23:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update 2: Despite receiving slightly weaker lead-in support, the second episode of ABC's \\\"Forever\\\" actually outdrew the premiere episode in adults 18-49.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/24\/ratings-abcs-forever-slips-night-two\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
