On its second night of a back-to-back premiere, “Almost Human” predictably dropped without Sunday’s football lead-in and hype.
The downtick was probably more than Fox had hoped for though, dropping 29 percent, from a 3.1 to a 2.2. in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary numbers. The good news for the network is that Monday’s show held its audience during the hour.
