"The series premiere of Empire scored a 3.7, up 118 percent from a 1.7 adults 18-49 for last year’s Rake premiere. Empire ranked as FOX's highest rated series premiere in 3 years among adults 18-49 (since Touch in January 2012) and FOX's highest rated drama premiere in 6 years (since Lie To Me in January 2009). It was the second highest rated drama premiere this season behind ABC's How To Get Away WIth Murder"

Wendy mentioned it on hot topics yesterday, that's why the ratings are high!

I'm not just talking about Empire though but mostly the overall dominance of tv shows which feature black women as its stars

The title change vvvvv
