FULLER HOUSE Netflix Series Had Bigger Ratings Than THE WALKING DEAD
Regardless of how painfully awful the Full House revival series Fuller House was, it apparently exploded in the ratings! According to Symphony Advanced Media's ratings, Netflix's Fuller House was such a huge hit that it was bigger than shows such as The Walking Dead and Sunday Night Football.
What?! Really? I knew Full House had a pretty big fanbase, but the fact that the revival was bigger than The Walking Dead and Sunday Night Football is kinda shocking. I didn't expect that.
Symphony Advanced Media has its own methodology to measure viewership on streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. As you know, both streaming services refuse to release ratings on their own, so someone's gotta do it!
According to the report, "Fuller House episodes averaged 14.4 million viewers among adults 18-49 within its first 35 days of its Netflix premiere date (Feb. 26). That’s the equivalent of a 10.4 rating in the demo. That would put Fuller House at No. 1 among all TV series for the entire year."
To put things in perspective even more, if you were just counting the first seven days after Fuller House was launched, "it still attracted 10 million viewers in the 18-49 viewer demo. That puts it just below The Walking Dead, which averaged a 9.6 rating – translating to 12.1 million viewers in the demo."
Now it makes sense as to why Netflix ordered a second season of Fuller House. Doesn't matter if the show sucked, a ton of people watched it!
One of Netflix's other most-watched shows was the documentary series Making a Murderer, which "garnered a 9.7 rating with adults 18-49 (translating to 13.4 million viewers in the demo) in its first 35 days of availability — which, again, would make it one of the most-watched programs among broadcast, cable and streaming over the past season."
What are your thoughts on Fuller House being as big a hit as it was?
