#and if 911 actually costs about $12m per episode (which would seem insane but let's imagine for a sec)

Here's some random napkin math I decided to do based on nothing.

Let's say Abbott Elementary costs about $5m to make per episode. The main cast cost about $1.6m per episode so I'm just assuming the rest of production triples that figure (anyone with a better understanding of those finances, please correct me if I'm wildly off). That's probably conservative in terms of my assumptions.

Let's also say 911 costs $10m per episode. That might be overly generous, I'm not sure.

Abbott Elementary gets around 2.9m people per episode in the target demo once you factor in multiplatform performance, and about 6.5m per episode overall. So Abbott Elementary spends about $1.70 to get a person in the target demo to watch the show. It spends about $0.77 to get a viewer (any viewer) to watch.

911 gets about 2.5m people in the target demo to watch per episode (with streaming), and about 9m viewers per episode overall. So 911 spends $4 to get a person in the target demo to watch, and spend about $1.10 to get a viewer (any viewer) to watch.

911 spends more than double to get fewer viewers in the target demo, and about a third more to get their higher viewership (which is about 1.5x that of Abbott).

Interesting math in terms of how 911 is doing.
