The 10th season premiere of ABC’s ‘Roseanne’ delivered TV’s largest-ever Total Viewer Live+3 Day increase for any single telecast on any network with a +6.59 million viewer lift (the previous record holder was the Sep. 25, 2014 debut of ABC’s ‘How to Get Away with Murder’ with a +5.93 million gain). The ‘Roseanne’ premiere’s average audience skyrocketed to 25.04 million Total Viewers (from 18.45 million in L+SD) with the addition of three days of delayed viewing.
Rising +2.18 rating points among Adults 18-49 in the three days after its premiere, Roseanne scored the biggest-ever playback increase for a comedy premiere on any network and the best for any comedy telecast since the Dec. 21, 2015 telecast of CBS’ ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ On its premiere, Roseanne scored a massive 7.34 rating/30 share with Adults 18-49 in L+3 (from 5.16/21 in L+SD).
ABC’s ‘Roseanne’ delivered the largest playback gains for any single telecast of the season so far in Total Viewers (+6.59 million) and Adults 18-49 (+2.18 rating points), topping the L+3 increases of NBC’s post-Super Bowl broadcast of ‘This is Us’ (+5.72 million and +2.0 rating points).
‘Roseanne’ delivered Tuesday’s top entertainment telecast in more than 5 years in Total Viewers and in 7 years with Adults 18-49 – since CBS’ ‘NCIS’ on 1/15/13 and Fox’s ‘American Idol’ on 3/1/11, respectively.
‘Roseanne’ opened with TV’s biggest numbers for any comedy telecast on any night in over 4 years with Total Viewers and in 3.5 years with Adults 18-49 – since Fox’s Super Bowl-led ‘New Girl’ on 2/2/14 and CBS’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ season opener on 9/22/14, respectively.
The return of ‘Roseanne’ built on its 9th season premiere from Sep. 17, 1996 (18.90 million) by 32 percent in Total Viewers and its May 20, 1997 finale by 47 percent (16.58 million), drawing its largest overall audience since Jan. 11 1995 (and outdelivering its last 79 telecasts).
