As well, Speechless was second behind only CBS’ Kevin Can Wait in terms of key demo numbers for new comedies, and it was tied in the fifth spot for shows where the young adult demographic is concerned.
With a premiere watched by over 7.3 million people on the night, the new comedy also has some impressive DVR numbers, and the show is in the top 10 for both total viewers and for the key 18-49 adult demographic.
While not AS popular as Designated Survivor, Speechless is doing just fine for itself.
(After Live+3 Day totals were accounted for, the premiere was watched by over 9.1 million people.)
