I understand why. However, it isn't relevant as the standards for ABC have changed over the years.

Ex. link: https://www.marketingcharts.com/featured-24817

ABC has different standards over the years, across the week, and has now additional factors it uses when it makes decisions.

Ex. OUATIW and Season 6 had similar ratings, but Once in 2017 was renewed, where as OUATIW wasn't in 2014.

Thus, the ratings standard has changed over the years and have additional factors, as ABC exec Channing Dungey has mentioned Once in the relationship with Netflix, etc. So, we can't compare across 3 years of difference.

Ex. Ten Days of the Valley (2017) was cancelled within weeks, but Once has similar ratongs, currently.

So, we see that we can't compare across days of the week, either. There's also articles about how Friday night shows have lower standards and expect to have lower ratings than shows Sunday through Thursday.

To close, this is why OUATIW is not best to be discussed on the season 7 thread as it holds no relationship (being on Thurday, being aired in 2013/2014). We can only use shows in the 2016-2017 cycle a best and preferably on Fridays, on ABC.
