'New Girl' Super Bowl: 25.8 million watched
The ratings for Fox's New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine post-Super Bowl episodes are in.
Both comedies had their biggest audiences ever Sunday night thanks to the huge NFL lead-in (but you expected that, right?). New Girl had 25.8 million viewers and an 11.8 rating among adults 18-49 while Brooklyn had 14.8 million viewers and a 6.7 rating. That makes New Girl, which featured a guest-star appearance by Prince, the highest-rated scripted entertainment telecast in the adult demo on broadcast TV in three years (since Fox's post-Super Bowl Glee).
How does those numbers stack up to previous post-Bowl entertainment shows? Good for New Girl, though arguably disappointing for Brooklyn (see chart below). The comedies were likely not helped by the Seahawks blowout since suspenseful game results in more fans sticking around to the very end and into the post-game shows. Here's our New Girl recap and our one for Brooklyn.
This is how post-game shows have stacked up in recent years among total viewers:
