The premiere of Hopkins, the six-part documentary series that follows life at Johns Hopkins Medical Center, delivered solid ratings for ABC during an otherwise slow night.

Gaining 2.4 million viewers from its lead-in, Hopkins delivered 5.8 million total viewers and a 1.6 rating/5 share in adults 18-49. It was the highest rated show during the 10 p.m. hour Thursday, outdrawing new episodes of Swingtown on CBS and Fear Itself on NBC.
