The move to Tuesdays hasn’t proven itself the most lucrative for ABC hit comedy, ‘Black-ish’ (Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross). Airing on Wednesdays for seasons 1-3, the show’s quaternary season premiere (October 3) saw it relocated to Tuesday nights and pitted up against ratings titans ‘This Is Us’ (NBC) and ‘Bull’ (CBS).
Sadly, despite critical acclaim for the timely, “in your face” subject matter presented on last night’s episode, its viewership did not reflect the fanfare.
See the numbers inside:
‘black-ish’ Season 4 Premiere: 4.71 million viewers
*****
The numbers above come as the lowest premiere figures of any ‘Black-ish’ season to date.
Black-ish Season Premieres
Season 1: 11.04 million (2014)
Season 2: 7.30 million (2015)
Season 3: 6.39 million (2016)
Season 4: 4.71 million (2017)

In all fairness looks like it’s dropped each season. So every season is it’s lowest to date each time
It still had over 2 million viewers, wtf! This is not a season low. Y’all extra I swear.
they say reading is fundamental, but so is comprehension. the article said it was a SEASON PREMIERE low…not a SEASON low.
do u understand the diff?
Its awful corny and not written by African descendants. Get some Nigerian writers. Hilarious. They wrote half of our black movie classics
Why would they get Nigerian writers when the show is about an AFRICAN AMERICAN family? The creator of the show is in fact, AFRICAN AMERICAN.
CREATOR and WRITER are two different things.
This was my least favorite episode. It was ammunition for those who see the show as corny. And I love black-ish!
Aww man.
Corn ???
The episode wasnt that great but i also think its because of the day & time change. They were better off on weds.
Hate when they take a successful show and put it on a different date. Part of the reason why a show is successful has to do with its date/time slot.
Also the show is actually really funny I avoided it for the longest because of the title but when I accidentally caught an episode I was immediately won over.
IDGAF I love this show.
That’s because the show is nearing its end. Let it end successfully.
They shouldn’t have put it on during the same time slot as this is us they knew what the h e l l they were up against they must be ready to cancel which is stupid because black ish made a huge come back for Fox smfh
I need to correct myself it’s not a Fox show
They still have pretty good numbers and I usually catch the episodes on my DVR or on demand. The season opener was excellent! A good touch of history with plenty of entertainment. Did anyone else get a Hamilton vibe from the episode?
It was a Hamilton inspired episode. So, I think everyone got the Hamilton vibe. I enjoyed the episode and I love that they speak on and don’t shy away from topics that may be uncomfortable some but relatable to many.
