A total of 5.3 million total viewers tuned in for the episode, which would be a reasonably sizable amount on other networks, but since CBS skews older, it’s really not a great number for the Eye Network.
Unfortunately, the series was not hot out of the gate, with TV By The Numbers reporting that the show only earned a .8 rating in the advertising demo.
The CBS drama was a big deal when it was pitched and landed at CBS, not only because the project was the type of court case of the week story that CBS loves but also because it would bring Katherine Heigl back to TV in her first big role since the flop that was State of Affairs on NBC.
