3.4 million viewers tuned into the two-hour opener to USA’s latest original series, including a 1.5 rating/4 share in adults 25-54 and a 1.1/3 in adults 18-49. Those scores represent a more-than-100% increase over the previous year’s time period average. “Evil” also built on lead-in “Law & Order: S.V.U.” (1.1/3 in 25-54, 0.9/3 in 18-49, 3.1 million overall) in all categories. Nevertheless, “Evil’s” audience was well behind the premieres of such recent originals as “The Dead Zone” (6.4 million on 6/16/02), “Peacemakers” (5.2 million on 7/30/03) and “Monk” (4.8 million on 7/12/02) however said debuts came during the broadcast networks’ off-season. Overall, “Evil” was the most-watched program in adults 25-54 and adults 18-49 among all cable networks in its second hour, but fell short of TNT’s broadcast premiere of “Men in Black” for its opening hour. In terms of overall audience, the two-hour premiere was the second most-watched program on cable on Friday, behind only the network premiere of “Toy Story 2” on the Disney Channel (4.1 million).
