ABC experienced its worst Tuesday-night ratings results this week since 1987, averaging a 6.5 rating and a 10 share — representing just 7.9 million viewers.
“ABC didn’t just edge out its previous Tuesday low of 9 million — it blew past it,” commented the Washington Post‘s TV writer, Lisa de Moraes. The network was particularly hard hit by a woeful 5.6/8 for its new comedy, Bob Patterson, starring Jason Alexander, a 30-percent drop from its already dismal premiere a week earlier. Steve Bochco’s new drama Philly also got no brotherly love, falling to a 6.9/11 from last week’s 7.6/12.
