Fox’s Celebrity Watch Party did not draw much of a crowd Thursday, as the premiere drew the smallest audience of any original show on the big four broadcast networks. ABC led the night among adults 18-49 thanks to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Station 19, and NBC’s Council of Dads perked up some after moving to its regular time slot.
Celebrity Watch Party — which features a host of famous folks watching and discussing the week’s most compelling TV from their homes — managed just under 1.8 million viewers and a 0.4 rating among adults 18-49 on Fox. Both figures are a good bit below the network’s recent average in the 8 p.m. hour: Two episodes of Last Man Standing (one new and one repeat) last week averaged 3.43 million viewers and a 0.6 in the 18-49 demographic.
