CBS rookie drama “Vegas” is looking like even more of a long shot to return for a second season after a sluggish debut on its new night Friday. ABC won the night in demos as “Shark Tank” hit series highs and both “Happy Endings” and “20/20″ were on the rise.
“Vegas,” the 1960s-set series starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, averaged a 0.9 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 and 7.6 million viewers overall, according to preliminary Nielsen estimates; it had earned a 1.5 demo rating in its final Tuesday airing, behind the popular “NCIS: Los Angeles.”
While no series transferring from Tuesday to a lower-watched night like Friday would be expected to produce as high of ratings, “Vegas” looked particularly shaky given that CBS performed well both at 8 p.m. with “Undercover Boss” (1.6/6 in 18-49, 8.5 million viewers overall) and at 10 p.m. with “Blue Bloods” (1.4/5 in 18-49, 10.8 million viewers overall).
