Binge on a Better Call Saul marathon before the season one finale

Binge on a Better Call Saul marathon before the season one finale by April McGee

Better Call Saul’s “Pimento” reported the lowest ratings for the entire series.

The ratings reported for this week’s episode were at a record low. Monday night’s viewership was dominated by WWE Monday Night Raw and the Bieber Roast. Although Better Call Saul fans tried their best to voice their loyalty to Saul, it wasn’t enough to convince the entire 18-49 demographic.

“Monday’s Better Call Saul brought an end to the series’ promising trend of week-over-week ratings upticks. The episode, which was the penultimate season one installment, delivered a 1.13 adults 18-49 rating with 2.38 million viewers. Down from the 1.33 rating and 2.87 million viewership total posted by last week’s episode, the numbers actually represented series lows for the Breaking Bad spin-off.”

Brian Cantor with Headline Planet reports on the plummet in ratings that Better Call Saul experienced on Monday night.

“Pimento” was an amazing episode, on level with “Five-O” from earlier this season. Fans experienced a shocking betrayal between the McGill brothers. With that being said, Monday’s TV line-up is likely to blame for the series low rating.

“The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber was Monday’s top cable program, earning a 2.6 up from a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating for Comedy Central’s roast of James Franco. WWE Raw came in second scoring a 2.0 in its highest rated hour, up from last week’s 1.5 adults 18-49 rating.”

Unfortunately, this week Better Call Saul was in fourth place for Monday’s overall viewer rankings according to TV by the Numbers. The Bieber Roast was a highly anticipated event, much like the series’ premiere of BCS. Need I mention…it kind of broke some serious records. Take that, Bieber.

Will the season finale of Better Call Saul draw as big a crowd as the season premiere? It will likely rank within one of the top slots on Monday night but it would have to break its own record to beat out the first episode.

You can catch the finale on Monday, April 6th at 10 PM ET on AMC. Get a sneak peek of episode ten here.
