Ratings: Anger Management Does Better on FOX; Mistresses Debut Disappoints

Posted on the 04 June 2013 by Sirmac2 @macthemovieguy

Anger Management was on FOX last night, to try and boost awareness of the series. The show managed 1.6 million viewers, which was ahead of The Mindy Project reruns last week (1.3 million), as well as the last new episode aired on FX (1 million). While 1.6 million isn’t an amazing number, it is an improvement for the series, and the timeslot. It even helped The Goodwin Games (1.7 million) gain 20% from the previous week.

Also, Mistresses debuted on ABC, and only 4.4 million people watched (now you feel dumb getting excited about Anger’s numbers, don’t you?). It is down from last summer’s Glass House, as well as losing viewers from lead-in The Bachelorette (5.6 million).

Both series were trumped by Game Of Thrones, which on Sunday drew 5.2 million viewers for the episode that everyone is still talking about.

Also on last night, 6.3 million tuned in to bid farewell to Revolution (until next season), while 11.1 million watched the top 6 sing off on The Voice.
