Survey says: ABC’s Celebrity Family Feud revival is a hit, drawing 8.5 million total viewers and a 2.4 demo rating with its Sunday night premiere.
As such, it easily led the sparse broadcast offerings in both measures and stands as TV’s top-rated summer debut in two years (since CBS’ Under the Dome).
Among unscripted summer launches, it’s the best since The Voice circa June 1011.
Leading out of the Feud, ABC’s BattleBots reboot did 5.4 mil and a 1.9, dominating its time slot. Castle‘s wedding rerun did 2.8 mil/0.6, besting an original American Odyssey.
