Top Drama Viewership Ratings: Sept. 11-17, 2017

Though School 2017 didn’t leave big shoes to fill in terms of numbers, surprisingly, short-run series Lingerie Girls’ Generation pulled in a decent 4.8% by its second episode. Of course, Falsify finished its run at a high (these days, anyway) 12.4%, leaving The King Loves stuck firmly in the middle. I am a bit surprised about the latter, since things have really been picking up lately—but that only rewards the viewer who’s been sticking with the show, so I can see where it might not be enough to pick up new viewers at this late stage of the game.

While Manhole and Criminal Minds continue to pull in about the same numbers each week, it’s Hospital Ship that’s knocking everything else out of the water (sorry), though again, it’s strange to consider not-even-teen digits as being the high end of the spectrum. It’s clearly on the uptick though, so maybe it won’t be content to stop at just under 13%, and maybe it’ll try a bit harder to earn those numbers going forward.

Over on the weekend, Age of Youth 2 is actually managing to rise in numbers (yay!), while Live Up to Your Name continues to earn the highest among the weekend cable shows. Rescue Me continues to do decently, though I can’t help but wish that it would pull in even better numbers to reward its talented cast. But you can’t win ’em all.
