Update:<\/b> While kinder to “Scandal” and “How To Get Away With Murder” than the fast nationals, final Thursday ratings data does not change the headline.<\/p>\n
Both posted series low numbers in adults 18-49. The latter also set a series low in total viewership.<\/p>\n
Per Nielsen’s final data, “Scandal” drew a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating and 6.085 million total viewers. The numbers trail the 2.1 rating and 6.955 million viewer mark posted by last week’s midseason premiere.<\/p>\n
The adults 18-49 performance is a low for “Scandal,” while the viewership sum is the series’ third-smallest on record.<\/p>\n
“HTGAWM” followed with a 1.5 rating and 4.875 million total viewers. The series low numbers trail the 1.8 and 5.822 million drawn by last week’s episode.<\/p>\n
While “Grey’s Anatomy” was also down, it easily ranked as ABC’s top Thursday show. It drew a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating and 7.818 million total viewers.<\/p>\n
Last week’s midseason premiere drew a 2.4 with 8.282 million.
