Ratings: Fox’s ‘Fantasy Island’ Debut Is No Dream

The series premiere of Fox’s “Fantasy Island” reboot wasn’t fantastic, but it performed decent enough for the network to finish second in TV ratings last night. Nothing could unseat “America’s Got Talent” and NBC on Tuesday, which should come as no surprise to regular readers.

Fox ended up third in primetime total viewers, behind second-place CBS.

The “Fantasy Island” debut averaged a 0.4 rating in the key demo and 2 million total viewers.

NBC was first in ratings with a 0.7 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 5.5 million, according to preliminary numbers. 

Fox was second in ratings with a 0.4 and third in total viewers with 1.7 million. “Lego Masters” at 8 posted a 0.5 rating and 1.5 million total viewers. “Fantasy Island” followed.

ABC was third in ratings with a 0.3 and fourth in total viewers with 1.6 million. “AGT” from 8 to 10 averaged a 0.9 rating and 6.9 million total viewers. At 10, “Capitol One College Bowl” got a 0.4 rating and 2.6 million total viewers

CBS was fourth in ratings with a 0.2, but second in total viewers with 2.3 million, airing mostly reruns. A new “Love Island” at 9 had a 0.3 rating and 1.7 million total viewers.

The CW was fifth in ratings with a 0.1 and in total viewers with 752,000.
