ABC’s’ Holey Moley ‘beats NBC’s ’30 Rock’ reunion special


On Thursday, CW debuted on “Killer Camp,” while Fox’s “Labor of Love” chose a sperm donor.

The “30 Rock” gang reconvened Thursday for what was essentially an hour-long commercial for the new Comcast-NBC Peacock universal broadcast service. (The unique initial approach also connected linear NBCU programming.)

ABC’s putt-putt golf competition “Holey Moley” passed the reunion special “30 Rock”, making it the highest rated show of the night on English broadcast networks.

NBC managed to tie CBS and Fox for third place in primetime ratings, rising from their fourth place position on the key demo last Thursday, a rank they shared with Fox and Telemundo. In terms of total viewers, NBC was third, just like a week ago.

Due to its promotional nature for the new Peacock broadcast service, the “30 Rock” meeting special was not carried by all NBC affiliates on all cable providers. That could affect your grades. Numerous NBCUniversal channels will air the special tonight.

ABC and Univision tied for first in the ratings, both scoring 0.5 / 3 on the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary figures. ABC was second in total viewers with an average of 2.99 million, Univision was fourth with 1.4 million.

For ABC, “Holey Moley” at 8 pm had a 0.5 / 4 and 3.4 million viewers. At 9, “Don’t” had a 0.5 / 3 and 2.7 million viewers. “To tell the truth” at 10 won 0.4 / 3 and 2.9 million viewers.

CBS, NBC, and Fox tied for third in ratings, each with a 0.3 / 2. CBS, which aired only replays, was the first in total viewers with 3.04 million, NBC was third with 1.7 million, and Fox was fifth with 1.2. millions.

For NBC, “30 Rock: A One-Time Special” featured 0.4 / 3 and 2.5 million viewers from 8-9 pm. The rest of the network’s primetime block was filled with replays.

For Fox, “Celebrity Watch Party” at 8 received a 0.3 / 2 and 1.4 million viewers. At 9, the end of Season 1 of “Labor of Love” settled for 0.2 / 2 and 976,000 viewers.
