The Breakdown: CW Friday in 2017-18 (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Dynasty, Jane the Virgin and more!)

It's time for a journey through the CW Friday schedule in 2017-18...

The Ultimate SpotVault, How to Get Away with Murder

The Ultimate SpotVault is a fully sortable record of every single episode in the history of a veteran series. This allows you to compare both raw numbers (total viewership and adults 18-49 rating) as well as the historical-adjusted stat A18-49+ for episodes across different seasons. This table also has the lead-in's A18-49+ for each episode, so you can see which episodes had the most and least support.

Spotted Ratings, Friday 8/17/18

FINALS UPDATE: What Would You Do? (0.5), 20/20 (R) (0.5), TKO: Total Knock Out (0.5, -0.2), Whistleblower (0.3, -0.3), Whistleblower (0.3, -0.2), American Ninja Warrior (R) (0.4, -0.3), BIG3 Basketball (0.3), Masters of Illusion (0.2, -0.2), Masters of Illusion (R) (0.2) and Penn and Teller: Fool Us (R) (0.2) adjusted down. Finals for the sustaining program WE Day were not available so the preliminary rating is included.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Preliminary ratings are inflated due to NFL preseason pre-emptions.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 8/16/18

FINALS UPDATE: 20/20 Special (0.6, -0.2), Match Game (0.5, -0.3), Take Two (0.4, -0.2), The Big Bang Theory (R) (0.9, -0.3), Young Sheldon (R) (0.8, -0.3), Big Brother (1.7), S.W.A.T. (R) (0.4, -0.3), Ellen's Game of Games (R) (0.7, -0.4), Trial and Error (0.5, -0.4), Trial and Error (0.4, -0.3), Law and Order: SVU (R) (0.5, -0.2) and NASCAR (0.3) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Numbers to come. Preliminary ratings may be inflated by NFL preseason pre-emptions. The biggest seem to be on CBS (Boston/Pittsburgh) and NBC (Philadelphia/Green Bay/Milwaukee) but all networks have at least some small ones.

Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 8/15/18

FINALS UPDATE: Big Brother (1.7) adjusted up while Supergirl (R) (0.1) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• America's Got Talent kicked off its Wednesday results shows with a 1.5 rating, down by 29% from the first results show on the year ago evening (2.1). That's not too different from the y2y drops we've been seeing from it lately on Tuesday, but it would be toward the steep end if it doesn't adjust up. In a move to 9:00 to 11:00 and a reunion with its longtime lead-in Got Talent, World of Dance (1.1) matched last week, but now with a 1.2/1.0 hourly breakdown rather than the 1.0/1.2 from a week ago.
  

• In its first head-to-head with Got Talent, Big Brother (1.6) came out on top in the prelims, with its highest Wednesday prelim of the season to date. And the season finale of 24 Hours to Hell and Back (1.0) saw the show return to building on its lead-in from MasterChef (0.9).

The Breakdown: Fox Friday in 2017-18 (Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef Junior, The Exorcist)

It's time for a journey through the Fox Friday schedule in 2017-18...

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 8/14/18

FINALS UPDATE: America's Got Talent (2.1) adjusted up while Castaways (0.5) and Making It (0.9) adjusted down.

The War of 18-49, iZombie

Spotted Ratings, Monday 8/13/18

FINALS UPDATE: Mom (R) (0.7) adjusted up while The Proposal (0.5), Penn and Teller: Fool Us (0.4), Whose Line Is It Anyway? (0.3) and Whose Line Is It Anyway? (R) (0.3) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• In its first Monday episode of the season, ABC's Bachelor in Paradise (1.3/1.2) perked up a little bit from its season premiere last Tuesday (1.1). That would be down from last year's season premiere on a Monday (1.6) but right in line with the 1.3 in Monday of week two last year.
