The one-hour commericial free series premiere of Dirt averaged 3.7 million total viewers with 2.4 million of those viewers in the coveted A18-49 demographic from 10:00 to 11:00 PM on Tuesday night.
Dirt’s premiere was solid, but not as strong as some other FX originals when it comes to adults 18-49 (The Shield drew 3M demo viewers in March 2002 and Rescue Me drew 2.5M demo viewers in July 2004). It was, however, stronger than Nip/Tuck’s premiere of 2M demo viewers back in July of 2003.
