Fox's Monday night has shown
considerable improvement this
season thanks to "Sleepy Hollow,"
but no broadcast lineup has turned
things around quite like the CW's
Tuesday.
The combo of rookie " The Originals "
and nine-year vet " Supernatural" on a
new night has worked wonders for
the net " and their popularity shows
no sign of waning. The former drew
its largest same-night audience yet
this week (2.5 million) and the latter
hit a three-year high (2.65 million).
And together, they gave CW its most-
watched Tuesday in more than five
years " since October 2008.
"The Originals," a spinoff of the net's
hit Thursday drama "The Vampire
Diaries," grew 22% week-to-week in
total viewers and matched its season
high in adults 18-49 (1.1 rating/3
share). The show is one of the
biggest gainers in full-week DVR
playback, too, rising on average from
its same-night score by 70% in
women 18-34 and 52% in total
viewers.
Through December, "The Originals"
was ranked as the most popular new
show on social media, according to
ListenFirst, which aggregates and
analyzes data streams across social,
digital and traditional channels.
"Supernatural" on Tuesday hunted
down its largest audience since
October 2010 while hitting a five-year
high in female teens (1.6/6) "
viewers who were playing with their
Bratz dolls when the show debuted
on The WB in the fall of 2005.
"Supernatural" has not officially been
renewed for a 10th season, which
would include the show's 200th
episode, but its recent ratings
suggests it is likely to happen.
