Crazy Ex scored a 0.4 in viewers 18-49, according to Nielsen’s overnights, up 33% from last week. Jane the Virgin, one of the darlings of 2014-2015, did a 0.5, up 20% from last week's insipid curtain raiser.
NBC won the night with a 2.7 and 8 share in 18-49, ahead of CBS’ 2.0/6, ABC’s 1.6/5 and Fox’s 1.0/3. The CW tallied a 0.4/1; it simulcast the Monday Night Football game involving the Giants in New York.
