Fast National ratings for Sunday, March 16, 2014.
“Resurrection” dipped from its big series premiere a week ago, but was still strong enough that, coupled with “Once Upon a Time,” it carried ABC to a Sunday night win among young adults (CBS won in total viewers), and badly thumped NBC's “Believe” in its timeslot premiere. The struggles of “Believe” in turn made the premiere of “Crisis” seem slightly more promising, while FOX's “Cosmos” largely held steady in week 2.
For the night, ABC averaged a 2.1 rating among adults 18-49 and 7.65 million viewers overall. FOX was next in the demo (1.7, 3.94 million), followed by CBS (1.5, 9.11 million) and NBC (1.5, 5.91 million).
7 p.m. — “60 Minutes” won the hour for CBS, with a 1.7 demo rating and 11.11 million viewers overall. ABC was second with “America's Funniest Home Videos” (1.4, 6.18 million), followed by a “The Voice” clip show on NBC (1.2, 4.45 million) and the “Bob's Burgers”/”American Dad” combo on FOX (1.2, 2.62 million).
8 p.m. — “Once Upon a Time” won the hour for ABC (2.3, 7.47 million), followed by “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” on FOX (2.1, 4.3 million), “The Amazing Race” on CBS (1.8, 8.3 million) and more “The Voice” on NBC (1.7, 6.18 million).
9 p.m. — After debuting with a 3.8 demo rating last week, “Resurrection” dipped more than 20 percent in week 2 to a 3.0 rating, with 10.8 million viewers. That's still a number ABC will be more than happy with, especially compared to the competition in the hour. “Cosmos” (1.9, 4.91 million) had a smaller drop, down only 10 percent in the demo, and was good for second place. “Believe” (1.4, 6.51 million) lost nearly half its ratings from its Monday night debut after “The Voice.” “The Good Wife” finished fourth for the hour in the demo (1.3, 8.38 million).
10 p.m. — “Revenge” won the hour for ABC (1.7, 6.17 million). The premiere of “Crisis” (1.6, 6.51 million) built on the demo performance from “Believe,” and also beat CBS' “The Mentalist” (1.3, 8.86 million).
