CBS’ Dome Stifles the Competition

High-rated Stephen King series overshadows NBC premiere

The second installment of CBS’ supernatural thriller Under the Dome suffocated the competition Monday night, stifling the premiere of NBC’s scripted series Siberia while keeping the struggling ABC drama Mistresses in check.

According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Under the Dome last night retained 88 percent of its opening deliveries, averaging 11.8 million viewers and a 2.9 rating in the adults 18-49 demo. That falls well within the expected drop-off between a new series’ first and second episodes.
