Ratings Are In 4/4/16: All Toons Down

It looks as though the constant changes in the Sunday Night schedule is starting to have a negative effect on “Sunday Funday”. According to Variety, overnight ratings for FOX toons weren’t that great:

Fox had a rough night even with all originals, as “Bordertown” (0.4/2 in 18-49, 1.0 million viewers overall)  finished deep in fourth place among the broadcasters and the rest of the night couldn’t recover. “The Simpsons” (1.0/4 in 18-49, 2.3 million viewers overall) fell to season low, sandwiching the time-period premiere of “Bob’s Burgers” at 8:30 (1.0/3 in 18-49, 2.0 million viewers overall) and a special second episode at 9 (0.9/3 in 18-49, 2.0 million viewers overall).

It was a rather busy night. WWE’s Wrestlemania, The Walking Dead finale, and the return of Sunday Night Baseball probably didn’t do the network a lot of favors. I would think a lot of people would at least be curious about Smithers‘ coming out party, so I expect some pick ups in on demand viewing.
