HD Ratings: Lego’s Appeal Builds

Lego Masters NZ won its time slot in the core commercial demographic on Tuesday and helped lead-out NCIS: Hawai’i to easily beat its parent show on Three.

Lego averaged 5.0% of 25-54 year-olds and 4.5% of 18-49s for its second episode to out-rate TVNZ 1’s The Casketeers and Lap of Luxury.

The first episode of Three’s Bondi Rescue double-bill also topped Casketeers but lost to Luxury.

At 8.30, NCIS: Hawai’i averaged 2.6% of 25-54s (vs 1.6% for NCIS) and 2.1% of 18-49s (vs 1.1%).

TVNZ 1’s First Responders level-pegged with Hawai’i in the 25-54 demo and was competitive in the 18-49 race.

But at 9.30, TVNZ 1’s Coronation Street was more popular than either of the procedural franchises it faced, averaging 1.2%/1.0%.

TVNZ 2’s FBI International mustered 1.1%/0.8% and Three’s NCIS: Los Angeles 0.9%/0.5%.

Eden’s Lose A Stone In 21 Days With Michael Mosley averaged 0.1% of 25-54s and 0.5% of 18-49s opposite Prime’s And Just Like That … (0.3%/0.0%); lead-out Escape to the Chateau DIY averaged 0.3%/0.2% opposite Your Honor’s 0.3%/0.2%.

Earlier, Seven Sharp again won its slot but not by as wide a margin, leading The Project by only a point or so while seesawing with Shortland Street in the 18-49 demo.

TVNZ 1 won the night’s biggest 25-54 share and TVNZ 2’s the lion’s share of 18-49s; Three finished third in both key demos.

Note: These overnight ratings exclude viewership of the networks’ +1 SD channels.
