In week one the show drew about 4.17 million viewers, roughly its season average and well below last January’s level, despite heavy promotion and higher-than-average expectations set by predecessors who started nearer to 5 million. The piece argues that changes under Dokoupil and his boss Bari Weiss aren’t delivering the audience or momentum CBS hoped for.
