marketdoctor 1,340 February 21, 2015 Ratings have not been kind: according to zap2it, The Slap is coming in the fourth (after The Big Bang Theory/Mom/The Odd Couple, Grey's Anatomy, and American Idol), Last week, The Slap had 1.1 million viewers in the 18-49 demo, with a 4 share and 5.13 total viewers. Yesterday, those were 0.8 million, a 3 share and 3.96 million. It's up against tough competition, and it's a mini-series--but I wouldn't be surprised if they move it to 24 hours later for a Friday burn-off. Share this post Link to post
ottoDbusdriver 15,400 March 13, 2015 The move of The Slap to 10pm was not a good ratings move -- it dropped a lot, and in fact got worse ratings than the final aired episode of Allegiance last week. Allegiance last Thursday -- 0.8 18-49 ratings, 3 18-49 share, 3.35 million total viewers The Slap last night -- 0.6 18-49 ratings, 2 18-49 share, 2.90 million total viewers The Slap managed to lose 60% of its lead-in audience (and that was with The Blacklist hitting a series low) http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/03/13/tv-ratings-thursday-the-blacklist-scandal-the-vampire-diaries-hit-lows-american-idol-slides-reign-flat/374556 At this pace, it will be lucky to have all its episodes aired. Dateline attracted more viewers in the 'The Slap's old 8pm timeslot. Share this post Link to post
