Wipeout Season 2

Posted by Shane on Wednesday, August 6, 2008 at 5:23 pm

ABC announced today that it has picked up Wipeout for season 2 following a strong debut in its first season. Not much in the way of details (summer show again?), but ABC’s gloating about ratings follows.

A hit summer series for ABC, “Wipeout” dominates Tuesday’s 8:00 o’clock hour in Total Viewers and across each of the key Adult demographics (AD18-34/AD18-49/AD25-54). In its six telecasts to date, “Wipeout” has consistently ranked as the No. 2 show of the week in both Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. On average, the ABC freshman series leads NBC’s competing new series, “Celebrity Family Feud,” in the hour by 2.4 million viewers and by 81% in Adults 18-49. Since its debut, “Wipeout” stands as the summer’s No. 1 TV program with Men 18-49 and Men 25-54, and is the No. 2 show in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, behind only NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” respectively. The No. 1 new series of Summer 2008 in viewers and young adults, “Wipeout” represents TV’s highest-rated freshman summer series (for any net) in three years in Adults 18-49 — since the initial season of “Dancing with the Stars” in Summer 2005.
