Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 9/17/13


WHAT MATTERS:
  • It wasn't exactly Sleepy Hollow, but Fox's Tuesday comedy lineup got off to a pretty positive start. Newbie Dads did an acceptable lead-off number, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was (to me anyway) the biggest surprise in building noticeably at 8:30, and New Girl and The Mindy Project both went nearly 50% above their spring levels. I'm not really into the year-to-year comparisons here since there was so little competition compared to their premiere week premieres a year ago. The real question is how much these numbers "matter" with an absolute onslaught arriving next week, particuarly in the new shows' 8:00 hour. The way I looked at it, at least for the new shows, was if they posted numbers that could withstand a one-third drop and still not be considered dead shows, it's a positive. It appears they at least accomplished that much (though it might be kinda close with Dads).
  • The performance finale of NBC's America's Got Talent went 17% behind last year's The Voice-assisted performance finale, but tonight's season finale may be set up for year-to-year growth (since The Voice pushed it to Thursday last year).
  • On the last Tuesday before ABC gets into the Agents of SHIELD business, they warmed up by airing Iron Man 2, which did OK but unspectacular for a repeat theatrical. And CBS repeated all its Tuesday drama finales to much improved results.

I was worried that people would tune out during Dads.



I'll guess Brooklyn Nine-Nine moves to 8pm, and Raising Hope gets 8:30.

Is there anywhere you can get quarter hour ratings for Dads? I don't know anyone who stayed until the second half and I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers where very front loaded.
