CBS scored a touchdown when they picked up Tracker straight-to-series. They just didn’t know how much until they chose to air it after the Super Bowl, and it kicked ass harder than a punter kicks the ball.
Most shows lose viewers after they lose a lead-in, like the football game. However, the Justin Hartley procedural has retained a large part of the audience they found on that first night. It’s like the series’ premise: Hartley tracking down those who are lost.
So much so that it is this season’s #1 show on broadcast television.
The most-watched new show since Desperate Housewives and the first new program to debut at #1 in over two decades, is seen by 11.58 million viewers with live plus 7-day viewing each week.
