Both “Beat Shazam” and “Love Connection” were approximately even in the Thursday overnight ratings for Fox, airing against Game 5 of Stanley Cup Finals on NBC.
According to Nielsen data, “Beat Shazam” averaged a 1.0 rating in adults 18-49 and 2.9 million viewers at 8 p.m., down slightly from a 1.1 and 3.4 million viewers last week. “Love Connection” drew a 0.8 and 2.6 million viewers at 9 p.m., compared to 0.8 and 2.9 million viewers last week.
NBC aired only Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, which saw the Pittsburgh Penguins trounce the Nashville Predators 6-0. The game is currently averaging a 1.4 and 4.3 million viewers, though due to the nature of live sports, that number will likely adjust up later today.
