Early Signs Point to Solid Tune-In for 'I Am Cait'
By Rick Kissell
Viewership details won’t be available until Tuesday, but overnight ratings suggest good — but not spectacular — interest Sunday night for the premiere of Caitlyn Jenner’s E! docuseries I Am Cait.
In Nielsen’s metered-markets, I Am Cait averaged a 2.1 household rating to tie with TNT’s The Last Ship as the top cable program of the night. Other top cable shows were HBO’s True Detective (1.5), TNT’s Falling Skies (1.5) and HBO’s Ballers (1.2). Last week, a similar overnight rating for The Last Ship translated into a little over 3 million viewers.
Review: I Am Cait
In May, a two-night “All About Bruce” episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians averaged about 2.75 million viewers in Nielsen’s “live plus same-day” national estimates, or nearly 40 percent more than the show’s prior three-week average with regular episodes.
