| Abstract: | 'This Is Us' scores biggest ratings in Season 1 finale That must have been some flood of tears, considering the number of viewers NBC's "This Is Us" attracted for its season finale Tuesday. The emotionally charged hit drama closed a successful first season with its biggest audience to date and the most viewers for a regularly scheduled NBC scripted program since ER's finale in 2009. The season closer, which focused on the relationship between Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore), averaged a series-high 12.8 million viewers, a 15 per cent jump from the previous episode and a 10-year high for the time slot. The finale also was up 13 per cent in young adults (18-to-49) from a week earlier, setting a series record in that category, too. "This Is Us" picks up a substantial number of viewers in delayed watching in the days after the original broadcast. "Trial & Error," the John Lithgow comedy that followed the finale on Tuesday, averaged 5.9 million viewers for its series premiere. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
