Posting their biggest gains yet this season, ABC's Nashville and Revenge shot up 81% and 75%, respectively, over their Live+SD Adult 18-49 rating to qualify as 2 of the week's 3 biggest percentage gainers on the broadcast nets. In fact, along with Nashville and Revenge, almost all of ABC's series scored their biggest gains of the season this week in the young adult demo: Betrayal (+63%), Castle (+68%), The Goldbergs (+47%), Grey's Anatomy (+64%), Last Man Standing (+58%), Scandal (+48%), S.H.I.E.L.D.
