According to Nielsen, Sherri Shepherd’s new Lifetime series “Sherri” was the most-watched original comedy premiere on the network in more than ten years.
Loosely based on her own story as a single mom who divorces after her husband cheats, the program nearly doubled its prior four-week time period average in all key demographics as well.
Five new episodes of the ‘Sherri’ show aired last week ahead of its regular time slot of Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST, beginning tonight.
The show also stars Malcolm Jamal Warner (‘The Cosby Show’), Tammy Townsend (‘Lincoln Heights’), Kali Rocha (‘Grey’s Anatomy’), Elizabeth Regen (‘Whoopi’), James Avery (‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’) and Broadway star Kate Reinders.
