NBC Crushed It With Its Live 'Sound Of Music' Broadcast
18.5 million viewers tuned in to watch Underwood in "The Sound of Music Live."
The special gave NBC its best (non-sports) Thursday night since 16.2 million tuned in for the "ER" finale April 2, 2009.
It was also the network's most-watched Thursday since 25.4 million watched the "Frasier" finale in 2004.
"The Sound of Music" was up against CBS' ratings winner "The Big Bang Theory" in the 8 p.m. slot and ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" at 9 p.m.
Surprisingly, those two shows (maybe as a result) had some of the lowest of their seasons.
15.3 million tuned in for the "The Big Bang Theory" at 8 p.m. while 7.5 million watched "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC an hour later.
It was the first time NBC aired a live musical in 50 years.
