Final Ratings:<\/b> Tuesday’s “Scream Queens” enjoyed a week-over-week gain in total viewership but mirrored last week’s series low performance in adults 18-49.<\/p>\n
Per Nielsen final data, the episode drew a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating with 2.588 million viewers. The previous week’s broadcast drew the same 1.0 but reached only 2.393 million viewers.<\/p>\n
The week-over-week viewership gain does not, however, eliminate the aura of disappointment surrounding the show. “Scream Queens” is commanding considerable buzz on social media and scoring substantial boosts from time-shifted viewership, but its live+same-day performance does not remotely befit the pre-season hype.<\/p>\n
FOX’s Tuesday lineup also featured “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder,” which both performed in the same manner. They held steady in adults 18-49 but enjoyed lifts in total viewership.<\/p>\n
“Grandfathered” posted a 1.0 with 3.329 million viewers at 8PM (vs. a 1.0 with 3.172 million last week), while “The Grinder” scored a 0.9 with 2.864 million viewers in the 8:30PM half hour (vs. a 0.9 with 2.526 million viewers last week).

Fast National Ratings Update:<\/b> Tuesday’s “Scream Queens” enjoyed a week-over-week uptick in viewership. The gain was not, however, enough to eliminate the aura of weakness surrounding the show’s live+same-day performance.<\/p>\n
Per fast national data, Tuesday’s episode drew a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating with 2.661 million total viewers. Last week’s episode posted the same (series low) 1.0 adults 18-49 rating but reached only 2.393 million audience members.<\/p>\n
While “Scream Queens” has been generating significant social media conversation and receiving solid boosts from time-shifted viewership, its live Tuesday night broadcasts are not performing well.<\/p>\n
FOX led into “Scream Queens” with “Grandfathered” (1.0, 3.261 million vs. 1.0, 3.172 million last week) and “The Grinder” (0.9, 2.854 million vs. 0.9, 2.526 million last week).
\n====================<\/p>\n
The ample social media buzz and time-shifted viewing is not drawing additional interest in the live\/first-run telecast. FOX’s “Scream Queens” once again posted a weak overnight household rating.<\/p>\n
Per metered market data, Tuesday’s “Scream Queens” posted a 1.8 overnight household rating. Down from last week’s 1.9, it was the show’s worst performance yet.<\/p>\n
While there is no guarantee “Scream Queens” suffered the same drop in adults 18-49 and total viewership, it is clear the show did not markedly rebound on those fronts.<\/p>\n
Lead-in comedies “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder” also posted soft numbers this week. “Grandfathered” slipped from a 2.5 to a 2.4 overnight household rating, while “The Grinder” enjoyed a 0.2 lift to a still-weak 2.2 overnight household rating.<\/p>\n
Adults 18-49 and total viewership data is due by 11:10AM ET.<\/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":[255,4172,3492,4173],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
