FOX averaged a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49, beating NBC's 2.1 rating in the key demographic. [NBC still won the 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. portion of the night in which the two networks go head-to-head.] ABC's 1.7 key demo rating was second, beating the 1.3 rating for CBS and The CW's 0.1 key demo rating.
