This made "Home for Summer" the most successful program in the 8:30 PM timeslot. However, "Home for Summer" was also the highest rated program for the entire day, across all timeslots.
"Home for Summer" has also improved over the premiere of "Get Out of the Way, Fate", which started on November 5th with a 19.6% rating. "Get Out of the Way, Fate" ended its run on April 26th with a 20.4% rating. It remains to be seen whether "Home for Summer" will have a similar reception.
