NBC may not want to bother rocking the cradle for Thursday’s Part 2 of its Rosemary’s Baby remake.
Sunday’s two-hour Part 1 flopped from 8 to 10 p.m. in the D-FW Nielsens, drawing just 56,810 viewers to run fourth from start to stop. Among advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds, Babylikewise ran fourth with its second hour but managed a second place finish from 8 to 9 p.m. ahead of CBS’ The Good Wife and Fox’s Cosmos. Still, the audience totals were strikingly low in both measurements.
Saturday’s prime-time ratings were led by ABC’s Miami Heat-Brooklyn Nets playoff game, which averaged 106,520 total viewers.
On Friday night, viewers flocked to the closing minutes of Texas Rangers’ pitcher Yu Darvish’s bid for a no-hitter against the Red Sox. David “Big Papi” Ortiz busted it up with a ground ball single after two were out in the ninth inning. During that time, Rangers-Red Sox drew 298,255 viewers, making that increment Friday’s most-watched TV attraction. The game overall averaged 170,431 viewers.
Here are Friday’s local news derby results, with eight weekdays now remaining in the May “sweeps” ratings competition.
WFAA8 won at 10 p.m. in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 swept the 6 a.m. competitions and NBC5 did likewise at 5 p.m. The 6 p.m. golds went to CBS11 in total viewers and NBC5 with 25-to-54-year-olds.
