Not too bad considering the NFL had a playoff game happening at the same time, and that probably cuts into the audience.

What did the NFL playoff game do on Saturday?

1.6 million seems kinda bad to be on ABC.

Network TV numbers tend to be significantly higher. But it was in the middle of the day.

Wait you mean a card that was only announced to be on ABC like two weeks before, got hardly any promotion, aired in the afternoon against an NFL playoff game didnt do as much as a primetime Fox card?
