World Of Dance Ratings Slip A Little, Still Dominating As A New Summer Series

According to Deadline, World Of Dance slipped in ratings a little this week. It lost 1.2 million viewers. However, World Of Dance was the best Week 2 new summer series.

That said, it slipped from previous week’s premiere 2.4 rating and 9.7M viewers, and also off its Week 2 America’s Got Talent leadin (2.6, 12.2M).

Armed with two original reality competition series, NBC (2.4, 10.9M) dominated primetime. CBS (0.6, 5.8M) and ABC (0.6, 2.4M) were a lap behind, with mostly-rerun fare. Fox went all in with repeats and came in fourth (0.4, 1.6M), edging out CW (0.3, 1.2M) which was rewarded for serving up an original episode of iZombie (0.4, 1.2 million).

Contestants Keoni And Mari Talk On ‘World Of Dance’

Copy and pasted from PureDerekHough.com:
This was a nice interview of Keone and Mari (one of my favorites!) that has equally nice Derek mentions. Here’s an excerpt from This is WOD (I think it’s for the long running WOD org, not specifically the show), click the link to read the whole thing:

WOD: Who was your favorite judge, and why?

Keone: I’m genuinely between Ne-Yo and Derek Hough. They both offered such valuable perspectives and commentary, not just to me and Mari, but to all the contestants. I loved Ne-Yo for his honesty and willingness to be honest with how he felt about performances—no matter how hype the crowd may have been. And, of course, Derek with his valuable experience as a dancer and offering his technical perspectives.

Mari: I am kinda 50-50 between Derek and Ne-Yo. I really valued Derek’s feedback. He always felt so genuine in his reactions and his enthusiasm. He obviously cares for and respects the craft of dance very much, and I appreciate that his love for it resonated as a judge. And what I love about Ne-Yo is that he actually didn’t know as much about dance, but I still felt an honest appreciation and respect for it. He was also not afraid to ruffle feathers with what he said, and that transparency is really great.

World of Dance, By the Numbers – Week 1

For those of you used to seeing this sort of feature on PureDWTS, recognize there is no work for me to do here, just more of a tabulation and keeping track of how the various dancers are doing with the judges. After a few weeks, perhaps we will see some patterns to the scoring, or by the end of the season we will recognize that one dancer, one team or one Junior is always standing above the rest when it comes to average score.

Here’s how the scores looked for Week 1.

Points of interest to me – I liked The Kinjaz best of the night but they were not top of the leaderboard, not that it matters since the point was to qualify. They aren’t dancing against each other just yet.  My second favorite of the night? Keone and Mari. They have a real charm about them that I loved and I loved the style. There was no one that I didn’t like at all, just those two were my favorites.

Kinda hard to make the argument that Derek is the “nice judge” in looking at the scores since Jennifer gives the high mark as often as he does…and Derek was the low grader on D’Angelo and Amanda. I suspect that he will grade anything ballroom a bit tougher – afterall, he knows what he’s looking at. But I think Jennifer was right – it’s not that he’s “nice” it’s that he’s a “sweetie”.

NeYo, on the other hand, IS the tough one. He was the low score on five of the seven groups that performed. But he’s never mean or condescending, which I loved. He just doesn’t grade on a curve. 🙂

I will be curious to see what other dancers don’t make the cut. Nxt Lvl were pretty damn good. What was missing was the charm of Keone and Mari, the cool of Les Twins, or the out and out amazingness of Kinjaz or Diana Pombo.

What did you all think…and are you ready for week 2?

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

NBC World Of Dance Premiere Strong TV Ratings, #2 Show Overall On Tuesday Night

Good news for World Of Dance’s first TV Ratings. World Of Dance dominated it’s timeslot. Not only that, it was the night’s #2 show overall. Here is more from Headline Planet….

According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, the episode drew a 2.4 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 9.75 million overall viewers.

“World Of Dance” dominated its timeslot in both columns. It was the night’s #2 show overall.

NBC led into “World Of Dance” with the season premiere of “America’s Got Talent,” which averaged a 2.6 rating and 12.07 million viewers from 8-10PM. It was Tuesday’s top show in both columns.

“AGT” was even in the demo and up in viewership from last season’s premiere, which drew a 2.6 and 11.67 million viewers.

— Given the strong “AGT” lead-in support, there was little chance of “World Of Dance” flopping Tuesday night.

More at Headline Planet.

ETA: Broadway World also writes that “World Of Dance” had “the biggest regular slot debut of 2017 to date.” Too awesome! Here is more from the link…

The series premiere of WORLD OF DANCE (2.4/9 in 18-49, 9.7 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m. ET) is the #1 premiere of 2017 on the broadcast nets in 18-49 and total viewers (excluding previews) and also the top regular-slot debut on the Big 4 networks in both measures since Premiere Week last fall (in 18-49 since “This Is Us,” 2.8 on Sept. 20, 2016, and in total viewers since “MacGyver,” 10.7 million on Sept. 23, 2016). Is the top series debut for a summer alternative show on cable or broadcast in five years (since NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior,” 2.4 on May 21, 2012). Is the most-watched summer alternative series debut across cable or broadcast in nine years (since ABC’s “Wipeout, June 24, 2008). Is NBC’s most-watched summer series debut in nearly 10 years, since “The Singing Bee” on July 10, 2007 (13.3 million). The show, which features Jennifer LOPEZ as a coach and executive producer, soars +71% versus NBC’s average in the timeslot last summer (2.4 vs. 1.4, L+SD, non-sports). Dominates the time period in every key category, doubling the combined ABC-CBS competition in all key demographics.
