ABC took viewers on an exciting journey Tuesday night with The Little Mermaid Live!
The two-hour telecast had 9 million total viewers and a 2.6 rating in the demo, easily leading the night in adults 18-49, 18-34 (2.0 rating), and 25-54 (3.2 rating).
The strong lead-in also helped Emergence leap 35% in the demo to a 0.7 rating, and over 30% in total viewers to 3.5 million viewers.
The demo tally is a best since premiere result.
