Although the drop-off has been slower than that of numerous struggling new drama series, ABC’s “Off the Map” is starting to dip into dangerous territory.<\/p>\n
After holding reasonably steady in the adults 18-49 demo last week, the show dropped another 14% to a 1.8 rating Thursday. With just 5.09 million viewers, the show, though stronger than failed timeslot series “The Whole Truth,” is looking like a bust.<\/p>\n
Of course, the series certainly would have valued more support; lead-in “Cougar Town” dipped to a season low in the 9:30PM slot. Since ABC aired a “Modern Family” re-run, the Courteney Cox-starrer did not benefit from the monster comedy lead-in and dipped to a 2.1 with 5.08 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Most notable about the poor performance for “Cougar Town,” which has already been renewed for a third season, is the fact that the “Modern Family” re-run over-performed with a 2.6 rating. That meant that “Cougar Town,” expected to be “on its own” this week, actually received a respectable comedy lead-in en route to its troubling 2.1 rating.<\/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":"\n
