· The debut of GOTHAM delivered the largest post same-day ratings point gain (+2.7) of any series during Premiere Week - gaining more than the Big Bang Theory premieres (+2.4 and +2.6)!

· In fact, in days 4-7, GOTHAM added nearly an entire ratings point beyond its Live + 3 rating (5.1 > 6.0). This is not only the largest L7 vs L3 lift of any show during premiere week, but it's also the largest ANY regular broadcast telecast LAST SEASON.

· GOTHAM and RED BAND SOCIETY posted the largest percentage gains (both +82%) of any series during Premiere Week.
