The ABC drama continued its run as Sunday's most-social series on broadcast with 79,437 tweets, up 75% week to week to its 2nd-best number this season.

"Revenge" (9:00-10:00 p.m. - 6.1 million and 1.5/4 in AD18-49):

During the 9 o'clock hour, ABC's "Revenge" built its overall audience for its 3rd-straight telecast (+2%) and held steady with last week's Fast Affiliate rating in Adults 18-49 to draw its biggest overall audience in 6 weeks - since 11/3/13.

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 48% currently, from 46% at the same point in 2012. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.
