SEAL Team requires a lot from its actors. The stunts and the emotional acting and take a large toll on them. In an interview with Denver’s DJ Sixsmith, David Boreanaz discussed the mental and physical requirements he faces to be on the show. While it is possible to get the best out of Boreanaz, the constant stunts and drama play a role on actors. This can cause problems when it comes to scheduling the show and ensuring the production days are efficient as possible. When looking at how this would impact the business side of television, this requires an effective production manager who understands the needs of the actors. If extra days are required to make up for an actors inefficiency, then the show loses more money. From the ratings and the full-season order, it is safe to say that the production manager has been doing a great job on the show.
Looking at the ratings for the November 8th episode, SEAL Team’s ratings bumped back up with 6.22 million viewers and a 0.9 Adults 18-49 rating. The viewership most likely spiked up because this was a new episode and the World Series was not on Wednesday.
