John Cena’s American Grit least watched show of the big 4 networks
The debut of “American Grit,” the reality show hosted by John Cena, did not make a ratings splash last night.
The show was the least watched show of the four major networks last night, doing 2.43 million viewers and an 0.8 rating in the key 18-49 demo. Of the major broadcast networks, it only beat out the CW programming for the night. Of the four broadcast network shows going head-to-head, the lowest rated in the time slot was NBC, which ran The Blacklist doing 6.56 million viewers and a 1.3 in the demo. The highest rated was Grey’s Anatomy on ABC which did 7.97 million viewers and a 2.2 rating in the demo.
The other bad news for the show is that it barely did half the audience of its lead in, Bones, which did 4.36 million viewer and a 0.9 in the demo.
