Ratings: Stumptown Flat With Finale, Med And Fire Hit 4-Year Audience Highs
In the latest TV ratings, ABC's Stumptown wrapped its freshman run on Wednesday night with 2.72 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating, ticking up just a smidgen to mark its largest audience since Jan. 8 while steady in the demo.
Averaging not quite a 0.5 rating across 18 episodes, Stumptown among all ABC dramas bested only fellow freshman Emergence (gosh, remember that show?) and the soon-to-return/ending How to Get Away With Murder. In total viewers (2.85 million), it outdrew those same two as well as midseason entry For Life.
