Update:<\/b> Thursday’s final broadcast ratings reveal that “Grey’s Anatomy” drew a larger audience than lead-out “Scandal” for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s edition of “Grey’s” drew a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating with 8.18 million viewers. Both numbers were up from those of last week’s broadcast, which posted a 2.1 with 7.73 million.<\/p>\n

“Scandal” followed with a season low 2.3 adults 18-49 rating and 8.06 million viewers. The rating trailed last week’s 2.4, but the audience total was up from last week’s 7.79 million viewership mark.<\/p>\n

“American Crime” closed ABC’s night with an improved 1.3 and 5.56 million viewers. Last week’s episode drew a 1.2 with 5.54 million.
\n=================<\/p>\n

Not merely responsible for a season low in the adults 18-49 demo, last week’s “Scandal” was the least-watched episode in more than two years.<\/p>\n

Per fast national data, this week’s edition of the ABC drama fared even worse in the adults 18-49 demo. It did, however, enjoy a slight uptick in the viewership column.<\/p>\n

But even the latter rose comes with a thorn: despite posting a week-over-week viewership gain, “Scandal,” for the first time this season, failed to draw a larger audience than its veteran lead-in “Grey’s Anatomy.”<\/p>\n

\"For
For the first time this season, “Grey’s” bested “Scandal” in viewership<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fast national data says Thursday’s “Scandal” drew a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating with 8.05 million viewers this week. “Grey’s Anatomy” delivered a slightly lesser 2.2 adults 18-49 rating but a slightly stronger 8.16 million viewership mark.<\/p>\n

While “Scandal” had not spent the entirety of the season as ABC’s most-watched Thursday drama–the first few “How to Get Away with Murder” episodes outdrew “Scandal”–it had not once trailed “Grey’s” this year.<\/p>\n

Last week’s editions of “Scandal” and “Grey’s” respectively delivered a 2.4 with 7.79 million and a 2.1 with 7.73 million in the final ratings report.<\/p>\n

— ABC closed its night with “American Crime” (precisely even with last week’s 1.2 rating and 5.54 million viewership mark).<\/b><\/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":[233,3767,76,228],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings Update: "Scandal" Hits Season Low in Demo, "Grey's Anatomy" Leads in Viewership<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Thursday's final broadcast ratings reveal that "Grey's Anatomy" drew a larger audience than lead-out "Scandal" for the first time this season.\" \/>\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\/03\/27\/ratings-scandal-slips-in-demo-greys-anatomy-leads-in-viewership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings Update: "Scandal" Hits Season Low in Demo, "Grey's Anatomy" Leads in Viewership\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: Thursday's final broadcast ratings reveal that "Grey's Anatomy" drew a larger audience than lead-out "Scandal" for the first time this season.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/03\/27\/ratings-scandal-slips-in-demo-greys-anatomy-leads-in-viewership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-03-27T15:09:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-03-29T02:18:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Scandal-Kerry-Jeff-e1427463087135.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1431\" \/>\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\/03\/27\/ratings-scandal-slips-in-demo-greys-anatomy-leads-in-viewership\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/03\/27\/ratings-scandal-slips-in-demo-greys-anatomy-leads-in-viewership\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings Update: \\\"Scandal\\\" Hits Season Low in Demo, \\\"Grey's Anatomy\\\" Leads in Viewership\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2015-03-27T15:09:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-03-29T02:18:36+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: Thursday's final broadcast ratings reveal that \\\"Grey's Anatomy\\\" drew a larger audience than lead-out \\\"Scandal\\\" for the first time this season.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/03\/27\/ratings-scandal-slips-in-demo-greys-anatomy-leads-in-viewership\/\"]}]},{\"@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.
