Update:<\/b> While the first episode of “Backstrom” indeed outperformed last year’s “Rake” launch in terms of rating and retention rate, its performance looks less impressive in the finals.<\/em><\/p>\n

A downward adjustment brings the premiere’s adults 18-49 rating to a 1.9. Viewership, however, holds at 7.98 million.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lead-in “American Idol” drew a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating with 10.65 million viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

It did not command nearly as much attention as fellow newcomer “Empire,” but FOX’s “Backstrom” attracted a respectable audience for its premiere.<\/p>\n

Leading out of “American Idol” (2.7 adults 18-49 rating, 10.54 million viewers) the new FOX dramedy drew a 2.0 adults rating with 7.98 million viewers.<\/p>\n

Both numbers best those drawn by last year’s “Rake” premiere, which scored a 1.7 and 6.95 million viewers on January 23, 2014. That episode also benefited from a considerably stronger “American Idol” lead-in; that night’s edition of the flagship FOX reality show scored a 3.4 with 12.39 million viewers.<\/p>\n

Insofar as “Backstrom” will likely lose viewers in future weeks — especially as competition from ABC’s “Scandal” and NBC’s “The Blacklist” enters the fray — it is far too early to celebrate “Backstrom” as a winner.<\/p>\n

One can, however, note that the series had a respectable first night.<\/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":[3533,255,1247],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: FOX's "Backstrom" Outperforms "Rake" Premiere (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: While the first episode of "Backstrom" indeed outperformed last year's "Rake" launch in terms of rating and retention rate, its performance looks\" \/>\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\/2015\/01\/23\/ratings-foxs-backstrom-outperforms-last-years-rake-premiere\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings: FOX's "Backstrom" Outperforms "Rake" Premiere (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: While the first episode of "Backstrom" indeed outperformed last year's "Rake" launch in terms of rating and retention rate, its performance looks\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/01\/23\/ratings-foxs-backstrom-outperforms-last-years-rake-premiere\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-01-23T16:13:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-01-23T22:13:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Backstrom-e1422029607614.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1950\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"960\" \/>\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\/2015\/01\/23\/ratings-foxs-backstrom-outperforms-last-years-rake-premiere\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/01\/23\/ratings-foxs-backstrom-outperforms-last-years-rake-premiere\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings: FOX's \\\"Backstrom\\\" Outperforms \\\"Rake\\\" Premiere (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2015-01-23T16:13:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-01-23T22:13:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: While the first episode of \\\"Backstrom\\\" indeed outperformed last year's \\\"Rake\\\" launch in terms of rating and retention rate, its performance looks\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/01\/23\/ratings-foxs-backstrom-outperforms-last-years-rake-premiere\/\"]}]},{\"@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.
