Celeb News: Ryan Murphy isn't worried about Scream Queens' ratings

Alien.

Quote:

The Glee and American Horror Story creator has said that the overnight ratings were "like reporting on a football game after the first quarter".

"The story of the fall is just how much people are time-shifting and watching programming in new and much more dramatic ways than even six months ago," Murphy commented.

Although the weekend's live-plus-three-day (L3) figures pushed Scream Queens audience up to 6.24 million, it was the further 1 million who watched using on-demand services like Hulu and Fox Now who interested Murphy.

"A lot of younger viewers look at viewing live like they look at MySpace," he said of the show's target younger demographic. "It's uncool. They're not going to do it."

He's right. And the fact that the premiere got 4M viewers, the encore 2M+ and the viewers on FOX NOW & Hulu another 1M+ shows the interest for the show is huge but this is new generation like Nielsen aka the experts noted

He's right though. Doesn't everybody nowadays just stream it or watch it the next day? Especially if you consider the fact that the large demographic of this show consists of teenagers.

this is so true

some people are just outdated and don't get it

Lights and Waves

This is true tbh. I watch Gotham, Housewives, Blackish, Scream Queens, Empire and The Muppets but I don't have cable so I have to wait until they go on Hulu. Numbers should only be reported one week after the episode airs.

exactly what I said about the VMAs

Miley

Obsession

It's actually right. Sometimes I'm doing something else and I just catch a show the next day.

I managed to see HTGAWM, Empire and SQ live for their premieres - but I saw Quantico and Scandal online the day after - and it wasn't like I wanted to see those shows any less, I just didn't have the time.

hmm, we know tho. We know sponsors and adverts and commercials are what keep the shows going. So if it has good ratings, they'll get paid more for ads. We're not stupid.

HE was talking about people watching on FOX NOW (1 million) and those also have adverts. Plus, the re-run literally two days after got 2 million viewers ON TV. + 4 million on the premiere.

Those are NOT bad numbers at all.
