This week wasn’t the best week for The Real O’neals. They received a .84 rating from the 18-49 demographic, and a total viewership number of 2.984. This is the first time this show was dropped under the 1.0 number. This could be for a number of reasons though. One, the NBA playoff’s have began and that will be taking viewership off sitcoms. Until the middle of June, when the NBA finals close. Also, the run in show (Fresh off the boat) had a rerun play in its original time. This could have also lead to the low number, especially because the 1-2 punch of both shows have been a moderate success for ABC. Also, according to TV by the numbers, this show has a good chance of being renewed for the second season. The show, After its 6.8 premier has been steady between the 3 million viewers and between 1.15 to 1.0 for the 18-49 demo. Add to the fact that ABC has a full ownership to this property? This may just be a placeholder until the network finds something better for its place. But for now, The Real O’Neals has been successful. Let’s see what happens next week when the lead in show has a new episode this week!
