Thursday nights are looking good for A Million Little Things. The ABC dramedy returned from its winter break to a nice boost in ratings thanks to the series’ new day and timeslot.

The series, which originally aired on Wednesdays, now airs on Thursdays at 9 PM EST following the network’s other mega-hit drama Grey’s Anatomy. The new timeslot boosted ratings for A Million Little Things to an all-time series high with over a 50% increase from its previous airing (nearly a month ago).

Here’s what ABC’s press release said about the show’s incredible rise in ratings:

The official synopsis for the series reads:

Some have achieved success, others are struggling in their careers and relationships, but all of them feel stuck in life. After one of them dies unexpectedly, it’s just the wake-up call the others need to finally start living. Along the way, they discover that friends may be the one thing to save them from themselves.”[/row]
