In fact, on average for the season, ABC ranks #1 in the non-sports Adult 18-49 ratings (2.95 rating), beating NBC (2.94), CBS (2.85) and Fox (2.75).

For the 2nd week in a row, ABC claimed the most Top 10 playback gainers of any network among Adults 18-49. With each show adding on at least +1.5 rating points over their L+SD numbers, ABC had 4 of the week's 10 biggest TV playback gainers on the broadcast networks: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Posting their biggest gains yet this season, ABC's Nashville and Revenge shot up 81% and 75%, respectively, over their Live+SD Adult 18-49 rating to qualify as 2 of the week's 3 biggest percentage gainers on the broadcast nets. In fact, along with Nashville and Revenge, almost all of ABC's series scored their biggest gains of the season this week in the young adult demo: Betrayal (+63%), Castle (+68%), The Goldbergs (+47%), Grey's Anatomy (+64%), Last Man Standing (+58%), Scandal (+48%), S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the Live + 7 Day ratings, ABC scored 4 of the Top 10 highest-rated broadcast shows in Adults 18-49 (versus 2 shows in the Live+SD ratings): Modern Family (5.7 rating) - #3, S.H.I.E.L.D. (4.8) - #6 and Grey's Anatomy (4.6) and Scandal (4.6) tied for #8.

· For the 2nd consecutive week, ABC's Scandal scored the show's largest-ever increases in L+7, adding on another +1.5 rating points and +3.8 million viewers to build to a 4.6 rating among Adults 18-49 and 12.8 million Total Viewers in the final Live + 7 Day ratings.
