TV ratings: ABC’s ‘Once Upon a Time’ surges; ‘Resurrection’ falls
ABC’s “Once Upon a Time†conjured up a strong night in the ratings Sunday, while “Resurrection†lost a little more life, according to early numbers from Nielsen.
Among key 18- to 49-year-old viewers, the 8 p.m. fantasy series “Once Upon a Time†surged 24% from last week to a rating of 2.1, hitting a three-week high and tying “Family Guy†as the highest-rated broadcast show among young adults.
“Resurrection†lost 10% of the rating from its most recent new episode to garner a 1.9, which puts it behind its fairy tale lead-in in 18-49 and marks its lowest number so far. ABC was the top network, with an average of 1.7 in the key demographic, in which a ratings point equals roughly 1.3 million viewers.
