via press note:
With AFHV, Once Upon A Time and the debut of Red Widow, ABC earned its biggest Sunday audience with regular programming since December – since 12/2/12.
At 7pm, ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos ran neck-and-neck for the lead in the hour (pacing within 1-tenth and tied in share) and was up 7% in Adults 18-49 over its most recent telecast two weeks ago.
Returning after a preemption for The Oscars the prior week, ABC’s Once Upon A Time built on its lead-in (+31%) to rank #2 in the 8 o’clock hour with viewers and young adults, while leading the slot to finish as Sunday’s top-rated broadcast series with key Women (W18-34/W18-49).
Head to head from 9-11pm, ABC’s series debut of Red Widow drew 35% more viewers than NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice premiere. Red Widow pulled in ABC’s largest series audience in the 2-hour slot since season-premiere Sunday 5 months ago – since 9/30/12.
I’d hate to be the poor intern that had to spin this…
But lost to a FG repeat and Bob’s Burgers AND tired older-skewing TGW and finishing last in 10 pm slot. Overall a good start for RW. LOL
It’s official: ABC can spin anything!!!
We’re making lemonade!
After just laughing at all the “Red Flopow” jokes from the ratings at the top of the page, I scroll down to find this and can’t help but laugh? 12/2… really? We’re talking about Christmas specials, several repeats, and a couple new episodes of Revenge thrown in (I’m guessing, I don’t watch Revenge at all!).
“Red Flopow” is not even funny
“Red Flopow” is not even funny (and I don’t mean the show, which I don’t watch anyway)
I’m dizzy from all this spinning!
And yet that’s still not saying too much
And yet Red Widow will probably air all 8 episodes and never be heard from again!
i think networks should accept once that much of people do not watch TV
Well unlike the Thursday 8:00 slot which is more high profile, the 10:00 Sunday slot is more burnoff territory anyway which is why Red Widow will air all 8 episodes in that slot then be cancelled
Six seasons and a movie?
Uncancel GCB and put it in place of RW!
And With Last Resort, 666 Park Avenue, Zero Hour, and Red Widow all flops, Nashville is the save face renewal and Castle Revenge and Once Upon a Time are all by default safe for another season
LOL
Saw the premiere debut of RED WIDOW this past Sunday and thought the Drama totally mesmerizing, great. Awesome Cast starring Radha Mitchell & Goran Visnjic: I really like the powerful scenes of the villian-foe Schiller (sexy) and his captured lionness-mouse Marta (lovly lady). Looking forward to future episodes and wish the show much success!!
