Good start for In Plain Sight
By fred | June 3, 2008
You can think what you want about the first episode of USA new series In Plain Sight, but all the promotion worked as the show started off pretty nicely, being the channel’s most-watched series premiere since The 4400 back in July 2004 !
This Sunday the show was followed by 5.3 million viewers, besting last summer’s debut of Burn Notice on June 28 (4 million viewers) by 32%, or also outperforming the October 4 network debut of Law & Order: Criminal Intent (3.8 million) by 40%
Last year, Burn Notice ended its first season as the cable’s top-rated new series among the 25-54, so seeing In Plain Sight premiere followed by 2.6 million adults 25-34, an increase of 17% over Burn Notice’s premiere, surely is a good sign. Of course, the real question here is how many of those people actually liked what they saw, and are planning on returning.
Because in all honesty, with its pile of clichés everywhere the pilot wasn’t really good, and if this week there wasn’t really any competition, next Sunday it will have to face the return of Lifetime’s Army Wives, premiering its second season.
