‘Greek’ Premiere Rocks the Ratings

Greek Nielsen Media Research really dug deep, going as low as viewers aged twelve years old, to give ABC Family the excellent numerical results for Tuesday night’s second-season premiere of Greek.

The episode, “Brothers and Sisters,” scored the show’s highest ratings ever for total viewers and among viewers 12–34 and females 12–34. Even better, the series managed two- and three-figure percentage increases in several important demographics, including total viewers a year ago. Plus, it achieved an impressive 78 percent increase in total viewers over last summer’s series premiere on July 9, 2007. Go CRU!

Absolutely, Elizabeth. I’m thrilled that such an entertaining show is attracting the fans it deserves. I hope GREEK stays around long enough for us to see Rusty’s class graduate at least.

Greek Rocks. My brother and I got hooked on the show during the Writer’s Strike. We are happy to see GREEK score these impressive numbers.

Go GREEK!
