Ratings: NBC’s ‘Blindspot’ Impresses in Delayed Viewing

Variety:

Last Monday’s premiere of NBC’s “Blindspot” looked even more impressive relative to the competition in early delayed viewing estimates, and in the process became the network’s first drama debut to grow from “The Voice” in both demos and total viewers. Fox’s “Minority Report” also benefited, with its premiere gaining the most on a percentage basis of the night’s three new series.

First-place NBC and second-place CBS both added about 0.9 to their nightly average in 18-49, according to Nielsen, while the Eye saw the biggest total-viewer lift (about 3.1 million).

Looking at the numbers for individual series, CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” and “Blindspot” were the night’s top two adults 18-49 gainers in Nielsen’s “live plus-3” estimates, which include three days’ worth of DVR playback as well as video-on-demand within the same window. The former remained far and away the night’s No. 1 program, rising 1.70 points (or 36%) to 6.39 in 18-49, while the latter surged 1.33 points (or 43%) to 4.45.
