Ratings: ABC’s ‘Wicked City’ Premiere Strikes Out Versus World Series

Drama debut settles for last place across Big 4’s shared 10 o’clock time slot

ABC’s “Wicked City” swung and missed on Tuesday when it debuted opposite Fox’s monstrous World Series Game 1.

The new drama managed just a 0.9 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and 3.3 million total viewers. Both of those numbers limped to fourth-place finishes across the Big 4 networks’ shared 10 o’clock time slot — as did ABC overall in primetime.

NBC finished second in the key 18-49 demographic thanks in part to a surging “Chicago Fire.” CBS was a comfortable second in total viewers last night.

Fox and its Fall Classic walked to an easy victory last night; read all about Game 1’s metered market ratings here.
