After the premiere of Limitless last week on CBS, initial ratings came in at 1.8 with a 6 share and 9.8 million viewers.  Although, these numbers adjusted in Limitless’ favor.  The final numbers turned out to be a 1.9 rating, 6 share, and 9.86 million watchers.

The only recorded competition in Limitless’ time slot was Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris.  The show recorded a lightly higher 2.1 rating and a 7 share.  However, only 5.91 million people watched the show, 3.95 million less than Limitless.  Interestingly the ratings only examined people age 18-49, meaning that more people in that age range watched Neil Patrick Harris, but there was an overall larger audience watching Limitless. Regardless of ratings, I think the overall audience is more beneficial to the longevity of the series.

I look forward to see Limitless’ viewership trends this week and in the weeks to come.
