One reason why All American’s uptick is arguably surprising is that, despite its success on a small scale, the drama is very far from being one of the most popular shows on TV, which is evident in the details.
In comparison, Law & Order: SVU boosted its total viewership by 320,000 people year over year, which is 100K more than All American’s entire audience.
Still, to be the only show on TV to come out ahead at all is a mega-victory for The CW hit.
(It was also only the fourth-ranked show with American in the title, behind Idol, Housewife and Ninja Warrior.)
