MediaBuyerPlanner: Kitchen Nightmares, the reality show with the volatile chef Gordon Ramsay, increased its ratings week-to-week during the first few weeks of the season, while other Fox programs, Back to You and K-Ville, have seen weekly declines, writes Media Life.
Kitchen Nightmares airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m., opposite ABC's Private Practice and NBC's Bionic Woman, two of the season's top new shows. In that time slot, it is also up against CBS's always popular Criminal Minds.
Fox chose to premiere the show a week early, giving it the chance to pull in a sampling audience before the others debuted, and the tactic just may have worked.
The show slipped in its second outing among all the major demos versus its premiere, but in its third outing, it rose 16 percent in adults 18-49, to a 2.9. It also hit a season high among adults 18-34, with a 3.0.
