Yahoo Entertainment‘This Is Us’ Tops Tuesday Ratings; ‘The Resident’ And ‘Prodigal Son’ Season Premieres Dip
This Is Us ticked down a tenth in the adults 18-49 demographic to a 0.9 rating and netted 5.31 million viewers, but it was still enough for NBCs flagship drama to lead Tuesday in primetime. Despite the dip, This Is Us continues to do well in delayed viewing in the demo and total viewers; last week’s episode is already up to a 3.2 in the demo.
After last week’s season premiere, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (0.4, 2.60M) was also down a tenth in the demo last night. Meanwhile, Nurses ticked up in the demo to a 0.4 and took in 2.60 million viewers. The trio of shows gave NBC the overall victory in the demo.
