Keith Olbermann’s revived series Countdown fared well with young adults in its debut on Current TV Monday night. The show drew in 179,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54, according to Nielsen. Current TV, Olbermann’s new home since leaving MSNBC earlier this year, is pleased with the show’s start even though The O’Reilly Factor had 735,000 young adult viewers and Lawrence O’Donnell (Olbermann’s replacement on MSNBC ) had 237,000.
