A total of 7.97 million viewers tuned in to the Season 24 premiere ‘Moonshine River’. 8.08 million watched last year’s premiere, and 7.76 million for Season 22, so these figures are relatively stable in comparison.

Bob’s Burgers followed with 5.40 million, followed by the season premiere of Family Guy with 6.53 million viewers. The premiere of American Dad had a total of 5.23 million at 9.30pm. The Simpsons was comfortably fourth place in its slot, behind NBC’s Football, ABC’s Once Upon A Time, and CBS’s Amazing Race.
