Limitless- Post #8

Limitless has been doing extremely well this past week. Last week, a full season has been ordered by CBS for 22 episodes. According to the article on Broadcasting Cable, Limitless averaged a 2.4 rating among 18-49 year olds and 11.4 million viewers.

Limitless’ rating’s last week from episode 5 yielded a 1.3 rating and an audience of 7.85 million people. This is slightly lower than episode 4 which had a 1.4 rating and 8.1 million viewers. Despite this slight decline, I am very surprised at how consistent Limitless’ rating and viewers are.  The show has not experienced any major decline in numbers and continues to attract the same audience quantity. Because of this, Limitless has gotten a lot of praise from CBS executives. CBS Entertainment president, Glenn Geller, stated that, “We’re excited how Limitless continues to evolve creatively each week and stand out with its unique style of storytelling…It’s off to a strong start in a highly competitive environment.”

Also, another Bradley Cooper cameo is expected to occur in episode 6, airing tonight, resulting in the potential of a ratings boost.
