Midnight, Texas moved from summer series in season one to moving to Friday night’s this fall but its premiere came in lower than its previous numbers.
On NBC, the season 2 premiere of Midnight, Texas grabbed a 0.4 demo rating and 1.94 million viewers, down five-tenths from its premiere last year and from its first season’s 0.7 average. The lower ratings are somewhat to be expected though – a result of NBC moving it from its Monday summer time slot last year to Friday nights this fall. NBC began the night with Blindspot which was steady with a 0.4 demo score and 2.53 million viewers.
On CBS, MacGyver (0.6, 5.86 million viewers), Hawaii Five-O (0.7, 6.87 million viewers), and Blue Bloods (0.7, 7.79 million viewers) all inched down a tenth on the network due to heavier competition from the World Series.
On The CW, Dynasty (0.2, 610,000 viewers) and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (0.1, 420,000 viewers) held steady week to week.
