Ratings: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Doc Scores Great Numbers, “RBG” Beats Hannity Special, “Better Call Saul”

Share

Better call RBG.

The documentary about Supreme Court Justic Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a hit for CNN on Monday night.

The two hour film, eligible for Academy Awards, pulled in 1,725,000 viewers. That’s more than “Better Call Saul” on AMC and close to Rachel Maddow sized numbers.

The excellent two hour movie showed what a real Supreme Court Justice is supposed to be, not the mishegos we’re seeing on TV since then.

“RBG” handily beat a Sean Hannity special on Fox News, which drew 1,352,00 viewers. “RBG” also did double Hannity’s key demo score with a .23. In the over 50 crowd, “RBG” had a 1.25.
