This week ratings picked up for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. jumping back up from a series low of 1.7 last week to a much more reasonable 2.0 this week (likely to have the usual .1 tick up when the finals are released later today). Total viewers also increased to 5.78 million.
It is likely the repeat of NCIS helped S.H.I.E.L.D. recover from last week’s series low, though NCIS still draws a large audience even in repeats and The Voice continues to attract big numbers. .
Unfortunately the momentum will slow again with the Marvel Cinematic Universe special “Assembling a Universe” airing in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s 8pm slot next week and a repeat of T.R.A.C.K.S the week after. New episodes return April 1 just in time for the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier which we believe will tie into the series in a significant way. This episode will likely be shown to fans and members of the press at the PaleyFest event on March 23 which should lead to some positive buzz for the show before the episode airs.
