[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
What is Adam smoking? The finale did not do better then the last 9 weeks? It evened out at a 1.2. Which is ridiculously steady. 1st hr. 1.3 2nd hr 1.1 Evened out to a 1.2.
I wasn’t sure what Adam meant by that either, unless he’s just taking 522 into account (which would be odd…)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Overall this arc the ratings were solid and steady. We began at a 1.3 and the first hour of a finale was a 1.3 as well, which almost never happens. We did dip to a new series low at Easter (5×15) to a 1.0 but quickly rebounded the very next week and then held steady for the remainder of the season. It’s important to recognize that ABC considers the Easter episode in its own category because Easter is a holiday that really messes up TV overall.
While the demos are low, the steady factor matters more right now. Ad buyers see that the audience for OUAT is loyal and committed to watching from start to finish, and more importantly watching LIVE from start to finish. I’m sure they’d love the demo ratings/eyeballs to be higher but given the state of network TV in general, steady is good enough. It’ll be interesting to see what or ad buy is for S6. I don’t know that it’ll go up as much as it did in between S4 and S5, but it will likely increase some.
As for what happens now, S6 ratings definitely matter but if the show stays in that steady spot (even if it’s a low steady), if OUAT keeps making $$ for ABC, and if A and E keep saying they have more to tell…then I’m no longer convinced that S6 is our last. For sure, we’re getting a full 22/23 episode order for S6. S7 is a distinct possibility now and unless we totally bottom out in S6 (like going fractional, which we managed to avoid by the skin of our teeth this year) I’m not so sure when the end date might be.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That was just 5×23. 5×22 was: Demo: 1.3. Eyeballs: 4.31 Million.
Thanks. I figured it had to be higher.
That’s not a terrible drop and that’s the highest demo we’ve had in awhile. Interesting that we lost people during our normally scheduled viewing hour, though.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"You mean Violet? As in Violet and Lily are full blown sisters?
Whoops. Yeah that’s what I meant. Why bring up that her mom died? why even bring up that her father was actually from here? Seems like there is more to this story.
I agree. It felt out of left field that Violet’s dad is the Yankee in King Arthur’s court. It has been a long (long long ) time since I read that book. Anyone know of a dragon connection to the main character?

Matt and I will have some analysis here in a bit and hopefully half hour numbers to see how we did over each block of time.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m also sick of the finale’s having nothing to do with the overarching plot of the season. They have done this like three straight times now and I’m not the biggest fan. It takes away from the season
I agree with this. As much as I liked the season finale (especially the second half…) this is a problem. It’s pretty disconnected from anything that happened in the arc (Hades, the Underworld) that you almost, for a second, forget that we just spend 10 episodes battling the Lord of the Underworld. The finale could have been a great time to have the big showdown between Hades and the SB gang and to flesh out Hades a lot more than what the writers did over the course of the arc.
