NBCâs bare-bones version of the â65th Annual Golden Globesâ attracted just 5.8 million viewers on Sunday night, a small fraction of the 20 million who tuned in to the awards show a year ago, according to Nielsenâs estimates. A two-hour âDatelineâ special, featuring interviews with the nominees and preceding the 9 p.m. announcement show fared no better, drawing only 4.4 million. Combined, the three-hour broadcast delivered a dismal 1.3 rating in the critical demographic of adults 18 to 49, a far cry from the 6.5 rating the show earned over prime time on a Monday last January. The big hit on Sunday was Foxâs premiere of âTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,â which attracted 18.3 million viewers at 8 p.m. and the highest ratings by far of any new series this season. Although âTerminatorâ benefited from following a football game on Fox that attracted more than 35 million viewers during the 7 p.m. hour, no other scripted series debut on any broadcast network has done better in the 18-to-49 set in three years. The last scripted series debut on a broadcast network to earn higher ratings among adults 18 to 49 was CBSâs âNumb3rsâ on Jan. 23, 2005. Fox easily led the nightâs ratings, followed by CBS and ABC. NBC ranked fourth. Part one of CBSâs âComanche Moonâ drew 15.8 million viewers.
