Episode 02-02: Tuesday, 9/27/11
Like lead-in New Girl, this sitcom lost just 6% episode-to-episode in the demo. It attracted a 2.9 rating with 6.14 million. That represents Raising Hope’s fifth highest-rated episode and well above what it was doing at the end of last season. It’s amazing what a difference a good lead-in can make.
Season average: 3.0 demo with 6.44 million.

Episode 02-01: Tuesday, 9/20/11
The sitcom had a positive start to the season with a 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.73 million viewers. It matched it’s own year-to-year demo rating which is especially positive if you consider that the numbers had come way down by the end of the first season. Hopefully it will continue to benefit from having New Girl as a lead-in.

Reference point: The 2010-11 season averaged a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.04 million viewers.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
