Despite the live numbers for A Million Little Things being a tad soft, the Live+3 numbers suggest that there may be an audience for the ABC drama after all.
The series posted the highest percentage lifts last week’s Wednesday night premieres in both adults 18-49, 61% (from 1.1 to 1.8 rating), and total viewers, 55% (5.1 million to 7.9 million). With the increase, A Million Little Things, which trailed NBC’s Chicago PD at 10 PM in L+SD, has pulled even in L+3 at a 1.8 demo rating. It also ranked as ABC’s most-watched program of the night.
We’ll have to see how the show performs this week but ABC seems to be invested. They are re-airing the pilot tonight to entice viewers to watch the new episode Wednesday and the delayed viewing numbers suggest there is interest in the ensemble drama that has received mixed critical reviews yet solid responses from viewers who decided to watch the premiere.
