About Headline Season 4, Episode 0 :
The Sound of Music Live! Was definitely at its peak of the list of this week’s top ranking TV shows as it put 18.6 million total bums on its episode last Thursday night. Facing off against 100-percent original broadcast competition throughout its entire three-hour run, NBC’s The Sound of Music Live! on Thursday night put 18.6 million total bums in the seats (as they say on Broadway), while scoring a 4.6 demo rating (per finals). NBC was very proud of the show because this marked as the network’s largest non-sports Thursday audience since May 2004, the time when Frasier’s finale night averaged 22.6 million viewers. It also marked the network’s best non-sports Thursday demo number since the April 2009 ERfinale which earned them 5.2 million viewers. Save for its opening face-off against the always formidable Big Bang Theory, which won the night with an adjusted-up 4.8 rating, Sound of Music Live at least doubled the numbers of 9 of the night’s 11 other broadcast programs. In other news, however, below is the breakdown of ratings of some of last Thursday’s TV shows with their corresponding TV networks: CBS | Big Bang (15.6 mil/4.8) dipped 9 percent in the demo; The Millers (9.4 mil/2.4) dropped 14 percent, Crazy Ones (7.7 mil/2.1) slipped one tenth and Two and a Half Men (8.3 mil/2.3) ticked up two tenths. Elementary (8.2 mil/1.8) dipped 9 percent in audience but was steady in the demo. ABC | Wonderland (3.6 mil/0.9) was flat, Grey’s Anatomy (7.5 mil/2.3) was down 13 percent and three tenths (to a new series low) and Scandal (8.6 mil/3.0) rose a tenth. THE CW | Vampire Diaries (2.26 mil/1.0) fell 16 and 23 percent, while Reign (1.65 mil/0.6) was down 8 and 14 percent. FOX | The X Factor (4.8 mil/1.4) was down a tenth from its last non-holiday outing, while Glee‘s fall finale (3.2 mil/1.1) fell 22 percent to new series lows.
