Ratings: Breaking In Returns to Mixed Results

Breaking In came back from the dead to a ratings bump Tuesday night — but it's not all good news.
The comedy's Season 2 premiere opened to 3.6 million viewers and a 1.7 in the adults 18-to-49 demo, a 31 percent rise in the demo from its near-series finale in May. The figure, though, is well off timeslot predecessor Raising Hope's season average rating (2.2) and New Girl's lead-in of 3.0.
