Via THR Feed:
ABC’s “V” premiere was Tuesday’s highest-rated program in the adult demo, cracking usual leader CBS’ drama-series choke-hold on the evening.
“V” was seen by 13.9 million viewers and had a 5.0 preliminary rating among adults 18-49.
That’s the biggest scripted series premiere rating for a freshman show this fall. And particularly impressive for a show that’s self-starting ABC’s lineup (it’s the highest-rated 8 p.m. drama series debut since … ABC’s “Lost,” actually). Compared to the “Shark Tank” average in the time period, “V” was up a rather dizzying 213%.
“V” bested tough competition from “NCIS” (19.4 million, 4.2), which nonetheless ranked as the evening’s most-watched show. The alien invasion drama gained 4% from its first half hour to its second.
What did you think of the first episode of ‘V’? Did it live up to your expectations?
