The season 3 finale of “This Is Us” rode the wave of an 89% increase in delayed viewing to come out on top in the Live+7 ratings for the week of April 1.
The NBC drama, which is now theoretically at its half-way point after co-showrunner Isaac Aptaker said the plan was for there to be six seasons, registered a 1.9 rating in Live+Same Day which then jumped to a 3.6 in L+7. The show narrowly beat “The Big Bang Theory” to the top scripted spot in delayed, with the CBS show coming in at 3.4 (a 70% increase from the 2.0 it achieved in Live+SD).
In terms of total viewership, however, “Big Bang” topped all shows, including the NCAA basketball tournament semi-finals, with just over 16.5 million. “NCIS” came in second in scripted overall viewership with around 15.5 million viewers.
