Ratings Are In 10/20/16: ABC Wins on Halloween Animated Specials
Charlie Brown will never die.
The ratings are in and last night it was ABC winning the lead-in competition in the 8pm hour leading into the third and final Presidential Debate. As a matter of fact, the numbers for these specials, despite reruns, were higher that ABC originals. According to THR:
Also giving ABC a boost for the night were repeat airings of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (2.2 adults) and Toy Story of Terror (2.0 adults) during the 8 p.m. hour, up four-tenths and two-tenths, respectively, from last week’s showings of The Goldbergs and Speechless.
I would hope ABC would see these numbers, and value animation as a viable business for their network and bring in some more. That said, expect to see Charlie Brown specials for Thanksgiving and Christmas also do big numbers against the competition.
