According to ABC Family, the show&#8217;s females 12-34 figure made for the best cable series debut this season in that coveted demographic.<\/p>\n<p>Though &#8220;Pretty Little Liars&#8221; received lukewarm reviews from most leading critics, its ability to open well seemed like a no-brainer.  With an inviting premise, charismatic leads and a fanbase from the Sara Shepard book series, the show appeared so destined for success that ABC Family launched it as a standalone on Tuesday night (instead of starting it with a &#8220;Secret Life&#8221; lead-in on Monday).<\/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":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Pretty Little Liars&quot; Opens To Strong Ratings<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There is no mystery about how ABC Family is responding to news that &quot;Pretty Little Liars&quot; opened to big ratings Tuesday--the network is ecstatic.
