Live+7 Ratings for Week of May 6: ‘Agents of SHIELD’ Premiere Sees Solid Gain
By Will Thorne
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Despite returning the lowest rating for one of its season premieres to date, the season 6 debut episode of “Marvel’s Agents of Shield” has showed impressive growth in delayed viewing.
The episode went from a 0.44 rating in Live+Same Day in the key 18-49 demographic, to a 0.9 in Live+7, representing a 125% increase. Several other ABC shows were among the week’s largest growers, including the canceled “Whiskey Cavalier” (150% increase), “The Fix” (133% increase) and “Modern Family” (110% increase).
In terms of delayed total viewership for the week, “The Big Bang Theory” once again ran away with the top spot for CBS, garnering a touch over 17.5 million total viewers in Live+7. That represents a 39% boost from its live viewership. It remains to be seen how much its double-header series finale will grow, after it posted a substantial 3.1 rating in 18-49 and around 18 million total viewers in live.
