Update:<\/b> Per final broadcast data, ABC’s “Scandal” returned from hiatus with a 3.6 adults 18-49 rating and 10.48 million viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

ABC also offered “Grey’s Anatomy” (8PM, 2.8 rating, 8.71 million viewers) and “How to Get Away with Murder” (10PM, 3.1 rating, 9.18 million viewers).<\/em><\/p>\n

“Murder,” which received an upward adjustment in the finals, matched the rating delivered by its fall finale. “Scandal” and “Grey’s” both built upon their fall finale performances.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

America’s affinity for “Scandal” has not subsided.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s episode, which marked the series’ first since November, drew a strong 3.6 adults 18-49 rating with 10.42 million viewers. Up from the fall finale, which drew a 3.1 with 10.14 million viewers, it was the top-rated and most-watched “Scandal” since the season four premiere.<\/p>\n

ABC’s Thursday also included “Grey’s Anatomy” (2.7 rating with 8.64 million viewers) and “How to Get Away with Murder” (3.0 rating, 9.14 million viewers).<\/p>\n

“Grey’s” delivered its best adults 18-49 rating since the season premiere’s 3.1; “HTGAWM,” however, fell slightly from its fall finale (which drew a 3.1 and 9.82 million viewers).<\/p>\n

A potential culprit for the “Murder” decline was “Parenthood.” That NBC drama, which airs opposite “Murder,” ended its run with a solid 1.7 rating and 5.47 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":[233,76,2325,228],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: "Scandal" Returns with Best Performance Since Season Premiere (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Per final broadcast data, ABC's "Scandal" returned from hiatus with a 3.6 adults 18-49 rating and 10.48 million viewers.
