Fast National Ratings Update:<\/b> Monday’s “The X-Files” and “Lucifer” were the night’s top two shows among adults 18-49.<\/p>\n
Airing at 8PM, the time period premiere of FOX’s “The X-Files” event posted a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating and 9.691 million total viewers. Obviously a far cry from those posted by Sunday’s post-NFC Championship premiere, the numbers are still very impressive.<\/p>\n
“The X-Files” was Monday’s #1 program in adults 18-49 and #3 program in total viewers (beneath “Scorpion” and “NCIS: Los Angeles”).<\/p>\n
“The X-Files” led into “Lucifer,” which premiered to a 2.4 adults 18-49 rating and 7.154 million total viewers. The show will obviously need to hold up in the coming weeks to warrant a “hit” label, but the numbers clearly reflect a strong start.<\/p>\n
It was Monday’s #2 program in adults 18-49 and #6 program in total viewers (beneath the aforementioned three shows, “Supergirl,” and “The Bachelor”).
\n=================<\/p>\n
Due by 11:15AM, the adults 18-49 and total viewership numbers will provide a more complete indication of how FOX’s “The X-Files” and “Lucifer” performed Monday night.<\/p>\n
The overnight household ratings provide sufficient evidence, however, to conclude that the dramas represented a far more potent combination than previous timeslot occupants “Gotham” and “Minority Report.”<\/p>\n
Per metered market data, night two of FOX’s “The X-Files” event drew a 6.2 overnight household rating. Though down substantially (albeit predictably) from Sunday’s NFC Championship-boosted number, the rating is solid by any reasonable standard. It propelled FOX to #1 in the timeslot (among households) and represented a huge improvement over what “Gotham” routinely draws at *PM.<\/p>\n
Lead-out “Lucifer” followed with a 4.6 overnight household rating. The number is not enough to establish the new drama as a clear hit, but it does markedly top that drawn by “Minority Report” throughout this fall.<\/p>\n
It also comfortably bests the numbers posted by “Sleepy Hollow” in the slot last year (as an example, the year-ago episode posted a 2.9). The same holds true for “The Following,” which occupied the 9PM period (and sometimes the 8PM period as well) last spring.<\/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":[255,4175,5658],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
