It's been about 7-8 years since I paid attention to Nielsen ratings trends - it's wild to see The Top Drama be a 1.1 in the demo - besides maybe on the CW, in 2015, that was basically dead on arrival.
Yeah, the broadcast TV audience for non-sports primetime has just collapsed. Which is one of the reasons why I'm surprised they haven't spent more effort promoting the shows in less-traditional ways. With smaller audiences, it doesn't take much of a boost to make a big difference.
My wife and I just saw Moya today. The first thing she said to me as the house lights came back on was “Why is this being promoted as just a kids show?” It was really a spectacular show and I want to thank you again for the recommendation
I'm glad you and your wife enjoyed it. I had the same reaction, it was such a spectacular show and they promoted here as a kids show. Maybe that's an easier sell than trying the Cirque Du Soliel route?
I can see that as what they would think as a path to profitability or a lane of exposure. I just hope that they pick up on the Cirque approach and develop further show concepts that they can also tour around the country.

Thanks so much for the great anniversary gift idea for my wife. She’s a huge Cirque Du Soliel fan. Just got April 2025 tickets to MOYA!
I'm glad I could help. I mentioned the NYC run hoping it would be helpful. It's a really fun show, and has some nice laughs as well.
