Ratings News - 22nd September - How did your shows do? Criminal Minds, Hellcats, and more.

Thanks to TheTVAddicat for the table.



The return of ABC's Emmy-winning "Modern Family" topped Wednesday's ratings, but a couple few shows failed to impress.

"Modern Family" (12.6 million viewers, 5.0 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) returned 19% higher than last fall and was the night's top-rated show.

Of the new shows, CBS' legal drama "The Defenders" (12.1 million, 2.9) opened with the best rating.
The series premiere of J.J. Abrams' spy dramedy "Undercovers" (8.6 million, 2.0) underwhelmed on NBC. The show was down 13% from "Mercy" opening that same slot last year and placed last at 8 p.m. among the major networks.
ABC's new comedy block addition "Better With You" (8 million, 2.5) performed about the same as "The Middle" in the time period last year, though still ranked as the weakest link in the network's chain.
Jerry Bruckheimer's latest legal procedural "The Whole Truth" (4.9 million, 1.5) couldn't make its case for ABC at 10 p.m.

    I loved The Whole Truth, and now I'm worried about it.

    I hope Better With You will stay on! It was pretty good.

    Yeah, not looking good for The Whole Truth.

    Yay, for Modern Family! Great show, great ratings.

    Undercovers stumbled out of the gate and The Whole Truth did almost as bad as Lone Star. The two most surprising numbers to me though are SVUs strong 10pm numbers and the Hellcats numbers. That little CW cheerleader show really held its own last night against stiff premiere week competition.

    Very true Bruce, once again the key number will be viewer retention
    for Undercovers over the next few weeks. Even the JJ Abram name did
    not really give it much of a boost. The Whole Truth like Lonestar
    looks pretty much DOA unless the +7 numbers are something crazy.

    SVU was very surprising.

    Undercovers' rating surprised me. Like Dark said, with JJ's name you'd think it would at least do good first week numbers, plus NBC hyped it and it did even worse (in the 18-49 demo) than Chuck's fourth season premiere. Guess people don't want spy shows.

    I missed Undercovers when my meeting went longer than I thought it would. Now maybe it's a good thing. I hate getting into a series just to have it cancelled.

    Tell that to the people over at Covert Affairs. I don't think they'd agree with you. ;)
