Snoozy Start for NBC's 'Awake'

Thursday night drama premieres to a 2.0 rating in target demo

Despite premiering against two repeats, NBC’s Awake got off to a sleepy start.

Per Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the psychodrama/procedural bowed Thursday at 10 p.m. to 6.24 million viewers and a 2.0 rating in the 18-to-49 demographic. While that’s a significant improvement from the numbers put up by previous inhabitants of the time slot, it marks one of the lowest-rated drama debuts of the season.

Awake put up only slightly stronger numbers than Prime Suspect, which bowed in the same time slot on NBC on Sept.
