Fox’s “BH90210” didn’t put up as impressive Nielsen numbers Wednesday as the “Beverly Hills, 90210” meta-revival did with its week-ago debut — but it still did well enough to carry Fox to a primetime win among adults 18-49.
Meanwhile, “America’s Got Talent” hit an all-time low in the key demo for the long-running competition series, but was still the highest-rated show of the night, with CBS’ “Big Brother” coming in second and “BH90210” placing third.
Wednesday’s total-viewers win went to NBC thanks to “AGT’s” first Live Results show of the season, plus the return of new competition series “Songland,” which has shifted to Wednesdays from Tuesdays after a six-week hiatus.
