Spotted Ratings, Monday 3/16/15


WHAT MATTERS:
  • FINALS UPDATE: Dancing with the Stars (2.1) went up, bringing it just inside the -20% year-to-year threshold, while Mike and Molly (2.0) adjusted up, again dodging its first 1.x since the new year. The Voice (3.4) went up, but The Night Shift (1.3) was down an unusual two tenths to eliminate all of its week-to-week growth. Also flattening out week-to-week was the CW, where oddly The Originals (0.5) went down while Jane the Virgin (0.5) was up.
  • ABC opened up its latest Dancing with the Stars season in soft fashion (2.0), down 20%+ from last spring's premiere and double digits from the fall 2014 premiere (2.4). Considering the scorching way DWTS ended its last fall season, including a 3.0 finale, this is a disappointment. (It was actually above the fall 2014 premiere in total viewers, so this show skewed a lot older than its already ancient norm.) And usual DWTS lead-out Castle (1.5) saw no benefit from the return of a more compatible-skewing lead-in.
  • If there was any consolation for ABC, it was that the music-themed competition seemingly did take a chunk out of a previously overachieving The Voice (3.3). But with NCIS: Los Angeles in repeats and Castle still mediocre, weak lead-out The Night Shift (1.5) went back up a touch.
  • The CW's The Originals (0.6) inched up, but it's starting to get hairy again for Jane the Virgin (0.4), down for the second straight week since its return from hiatus.
  • The other two networks were in part-repeat mode. The Following hung at 1.1 in week three while Mike and Molly (1.9) lost a bit in yet another original airing amid a sea of CBS repeats. (It once again had help from a The Big Bang Theory repeat (1.7) at 8/7c.)
