Update: <\/strong>The recipient of an upward adjustment in the final Nielsen report, the premiere of ABC’s new comedy “Selfie” settles at a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating with 5.31 million viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

New comedy “Manhattan Love Story,” which led out of “Selfie,” delivered a 1.5 with 4.70 million.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Update:\u00a0<\/strong>Neither “Selfie” nor “Manhattan Love Story” debuted impressively for ABC Tuesday.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Selfie” opened the network’s primetime lineup with a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating and 4.88 million viewers.\u00a0 “Love Story” then followed with a 1.3 and 4.27 million at 8:30PM.<\/em><\/p>\n

Clearly unremarkable, the numbers nonetheless provide ABC with one opportunity for positive spin:\u00a0 they top those delivered by FOX’s 9PM comedies “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project.”<\/em><\/p>\n

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

While their adults 18-49 ratings could potentially paint a rosier picture, ABC’s new comedies “Selfie” and “Manhattan Love Story” did not dazzle in the overnights.<\/p>\n

The two comedies, which opened ABC’s Tuesday in the 8PM hour, drew respective overnight household ratings of 3.7 and 3.2.<\/p>\n

Indicative of modest overall viewership, the overnight ratings are not low enough to completely rule out the possibility of respectable showings in adults 18-49. They are also considerably better than what rival network FOX scored for its 9PM comedy block (“New Girl” drew a 2.0, “The Mindy Project” posted a 1.8).<\/p>\n

And insofar as 9PM drama “Agents of SHIELD” drew a 3.2, they are not the network’s nightly weak links from an overnight ratings standpoint. With a 3.9 at 10PM, ABC’s “Forever” was, however, the network’s strongest overnight performer Tuesday.<\/p>\n

But if ABC hoped “Selfie” and “Manhattan Love Story” would emerge as particularly strong performers, the overnights do not represent a dream fulfilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29061,"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":[233,2990,1344],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: "Selfie," "Manhattan Love Story" Start Modestly (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: The recipient of an upward adjustment in the final Nielsen report, the premiere of ABC's new comedy "Selfie" settles at a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating\" \/>\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\/10\/01\/ratings-selfie-manhattan-love-story-start-modestly\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings: "Selfie," "Manhattan Love Story" Start Modestly (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: The recipient of an upward adjustment in the final Nielsen report, the premiere of ABC's new comedy "Selfie" settles at a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/01\/ratings-selfie-manhattan-love-story-start-modestly\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-10-01T13:50:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-10-01T21:20:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Selfie.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"665\" \/>\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\/10\/01\/ratings-selfie-manhattan-love-story-start-modestly\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/01\/ratings-selfie-manhattan-love-story-start-modestly\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings: \\\"Selfie,\\\" \\\"Manhattan Love Story\\\" Start Modestly (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-10-01T13:50:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-10-01T21:20:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: The recipient of an upward adjustment in the final Nielsen report, the premiere of ABC's new comedy \\\"Selfie\\\" settles at a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/01\/ratings-selfie-manhattan-love-story-start-modestly\/\"]}]},{\"@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.
