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.

TVLine readers gave the finale as well as all of Season 1 an average grade of “A” (read post mortem).

Opening ABC’s night, The Goldbergs (4.7 mil/0.9) and Schooled (3.3 mil/0.6)  each slipped two tenths in the demo, while American Housewife (2.8 mil/0.6) was steady leading out of a Modern Family rerun.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our daily-ish ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increases in delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms. These Live+Same Day numbers instead are used to illustrate any trends or high/low superlatives. Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
