Gotham Debuts with 8 Million People Watching

Facing pretty stiff competition, Gotham was the first « comic book » based television show to debut in this 2014-2015 season. The premiere brought in 8 million viewers with a 3.2 in the coveted 18-49 year old demographic. The television show placed third behind CBS’s The Big Bang Theory, and NBC’s The Voice.

The show actually did better in its second half hour and was the nights’s top drama draw for men 18-49, besting both Scorpion and Blacklist.

The stats released so far does not include DVR playback or any streaming. With tough competition, I expect a lot of viewing will come from those sources.
