Based on Nielsen's TV playback data among Adults 18-49, ABC shot up to a 2.4 rating among Adults 18-49 in the final Live + 7 numbers, growing 41% over its Live + Same Day number to stand as the week's biggest percentage gainer for the 2nd week in a row among the major networks.

For the 4th straight week, ABC claimed the most Top 10 playback gainers of any broadcast network.

Posting its biggest lift yet this season, ABC's Revenge catapulted 79% over its Live+SD Adult 18-49 rating to rank as the week's 2nd-biggest percentage gainer on the major networks. In fact, Castle (+74%), The Goldbergs (+47%) and Scandal (+55%) also delivered their biggest playback gains among Adults 18-49 so far this season.
