Fox’s “American Grit” had no teeth on Thursday, when the military style competition series quietly premiered. Its home broadcast network finished fourth among the Big 4 channels.
The Shondaland-packed ABC won the night with a strong two-hour “Grey’s Anatomy” and weak “The Catch.” The competition wasn’t close in the key 18-49 demographic, but the race was tighter among total viewers.
ABC was first in ratings with a 1.8 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 6.9 million, according to preliminary numbers. “Grey’s” at 8 p.m. ET scored a 2.2/8 and 8 million viewers.
