B&C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the 7-day period through Sept. 26.

An NBC spot for new fantasy/sci-fi drama La Brea is No. 1. Our previous chart-topper, a promo for NBC’s new parallel-lives drama Ordinary Joe, slips to third place. 

Fox also serves up spots promoting two of its new fall offerings: musical comedy-drama The Big Leap in fourth place and family drama ​​Our Kind of People in fifth.

ABC rounds out the ranking with a spot promoting its reboot of The Wonder Years in second place.

Notably, The Big Leap spot has this week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (138), meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
