'Miz & Mrs': USA Lands Most-Watched Reality Show Launch Since 2011
USA Network’s newest unscripted series, “Miz & Mrs.,” just scored the cable channel’s top reality show debut since 2011’s “Tough Enough.” What do they both have in common? WWE Superstars.
“Miz & Mrs.” posted 1.5 million total viewers on Tuesday night, following weekly episodic WWE wrestling show “SmackDown Live.” That one is highly rated too, and it hauled in 2.3 million overall audience members from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. last night, providing an excellent launching pad for the Mizanins.
USA Network prefers to judge its shows based on Nielsen’s Live + 3 Day numbers, which counts 72 hours of delayed viewing. Expect the NBCUniversal cable channel to report an even-larger number for its newest debut in a handful of days.
