Based on Nielsen's TV playback data among Adults 18-49, ABC shot up to a 2.4 rating among Adults 18-49 in the final Live + 7 numbers, growing 41% over its Live + Same Day number to stand as the week's biggest percentage gainer for the 2nd week in a row among the major networks.

For the 4th straight week, ABC claimed the most Top 10 playback gainers of any broadcast network. The Net had 5 of the week's 10 biggest gainers in both Adults 18-49 and Total Viewers, with Grey's Anatomy (+1.8 rating points and +3.9 million), Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In addition, among Adults 18-49, Scandal (+1.6 rating points) and Castle (+1.4 rating points) were 2 of the week's 3 biggest 10pm series gainers on the broadcast nets.

Posting its biggest lift yet this season, ABC's Revenge catapulted 79% over its Live+SD Adult 18-49 rating to rank as the week's 2nd-biggest percentage gainer on the major networks. In fact, Castle (+74%), The Goldbergs (+47%) and Scandal (+55%) also delivered their biggest playback gains among Adults 18-49 so far this season.
