Ratings Watch: ‘Big Bang’, Big ‘Dead’, ‘Big Shots’
There’s nothing small about NBC’s Little Big Shots.
The new reality show, from executive producer Ellen DeGeneres and host Steve Harvey, debuted in its regular Sunday time slot as the No. 1 show of the week in Live+Same Day ratings. Once the Live+3 data was tallied (including three days of DVR and VOD usage), The Big Bang Theory and The Walking Dead jumped ahead.
Still, not a bad start for the biggest alternative series launch in years. According to NBC, Little Big Shots is NBC’s most-watched regularly scheduled entertainment telecast since March 2005 (excluding post-Super Bowl shows) since March 2005. That’s why it’s probably no surprise that NBC has already renewed Little Big Shots for a second season.
Here are the top 25 shows (including Live+3 DVR and VOD data) among total viewers and adults 18-49 for the week of March 7 through 13, 2016.
