Just because a few nuclear missiles get launched doesn’t mean everybody’s paying attention.
The ABC-TV submarine-based drama “Last Resort” premiered Thursday to “OK” or “soft” ratings, depending on which Hollywood-industry website you’re reading, drawing a 2.2 rating and a 7 share in the coveted 18-49 demographic. That put the premiere third in its time slot, below CBS comedy “The Big Bang Theory” and FOX talent show “The X Factor,” according to final ratings released Friday.
Finishing below a top-rated sitcom and a Simon Cowell-judged karaoke contest may not sound all that bad, but the “Last Resort” numbers are just slightly better than a reboot of “Charlie’s Angels” earned in the same time slot last season, according to Deadline.com. Charlie and the girls lasted seven episodes. In other words, unlike many other non-Hollywood sailors, the crew of the submarine Colorado may not face an extended deployment.
