"Mind Of A Man" Debuts To Good Ratings

Happy 2014, everyone! Being the first non-review article of The Blog Is Right this year, I'm going to kick it off on a good note by briefly discussing Mind Of A Man premiering to good ratings last night. Similar to what The Chase on its debut night, GSN aired four consecutive new episodes last night to welcome the new half-hour original series to the network with a two-hour mini marathon running from 8:00 p.m-10:00 p.m. and reran the shows from 11:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. the next morning. As I have stated on the TBIR Facebook page, the quadruple-header premiere of Mind Of A Man averaged 407,250 total viewers: a respectable start for the rookie show considering the network averages 389,000 total viewers in primetime and 306,000 total viewers overall*. Here's a detailed breakdown of how the show performed throughout the evening, including how the show fared among the key "Adults 18-49" demographics:

                        Time                    Total Viewers                    A18-49 Viewers

                         8:00                        497,000                               112,000        
                         8:30                        449,000                               144,000
                         9:00                        306,000                               117,000
                         9:30                        377,000                               128,000

This is a good start indeed for Mind Of A Man, especially with show achieving its highest ratings in the primary 8:00 time slot. Will the show build upon its success next week? I believe so. Check out two-new episodes of Mind Of A Man every Wednesday beginning at 8:00pm EST on GSN and take a look at my review of the show here on The Blog Is Right.
