The War of 18-49, Bob Hearts Abishola

The Neighborhood's Steady Sidekick

CBS comedy The Neighborhood exceeded some expectations when it successfully launched a new comedy hour on Monday at 8/7c in the 2018-19 season. But its 8:30 lead-outs in season one were much more borderline performers, starting in the fall with newbie Happy Together and continuing into the winter/spring with veteran Man with a Plan. Happy Together didn't make it to season two, while Man with a Plan lasted just one more year as a fill-in on Thursday.

For season two, The Neighborhood got paired with what seemed like a safer bet, as CBS returned to the Chuck Lorre well with newbie Bob Hearts Abishola and headlined it with a lead from another Lorre sitcom (Billy Gardell of Mike & Molly). And CBS got a predictably solid but unspectacular return on that investment. The show had 95% retention of its Neighborhood lead-in on series premiere night (0.87 out of 0.92), somewhat alarmingly plummeted to 73% in week two (0.68 out of 0.93), then quickly stabilized with retention in the low-to-mid 80's and has mostly stayed there for the last four years.

Both shows took a jump in the 2020-21 season, but since then the last three seasons have been almost indistinguishable. There was some thought that it might be in danger after a somewhat weak run in fall 2022, but it pretty much got back to normal retention-wise in the winter and spring and has been renewed for season five. In the end, it has been a noticeable but small improvement on Neighborhood's season one lead-outs, but that difference has been enough for Bob Hearts Abishola to carve out a good run.

The War of 18-49, 9-1-1: Lone Star

Mondays with the Mothership

After two very successful seasons, Fox's Ryan Murphy-produced drama 9-1-1 got its first spin-off in early 2020. With just a nine-episode first season, 9-1-1: Lone Star premiered with a 3.14 demo after an NFL playoff game, but had only an OK start leading off Monday with just a 0.96 and 0.97 (117 -> 118 Plus) in its first two episodes. Then the show shot up to a whooping 1.27 the day after getting a bunch of Fox Super Bowl promotion, and it stayed north of 1.0 for the next couple weeks. That made it a no-brainer second season renewal.

In season two, with all scripted programming delayed due to COVID production shutdowns, Lone Star got paired with the mothership. That winter after 9-1-1 produced the best sustained ratings for Lone Star, and it stayed at hit levels for most episodes even in the deep spring.

Season three was a hybrid between the two approaches; it was held for midseason again, returning to anchor Monday nights in the winter like in season one, but it was reunited with the mothership in the spring. However, 9-1-1 took its biggest drop in series history (-9%), and Lone Star basically followed suit with a 10% drop.

Breaking Away 

Season four marked the first time that 9-1-1: Lone Star did not share Monday night with the original. While it waited till midseason yet again, this time it aired on Tuesday rather than Monday. It was an improvement on that night, outrating pretty much the entire run of longtime previous occupant The Resident, but it took another dip from its stout Monday levels. If that level of independence from the mothership wasn't enough, season five will see Lone Star air on an entirely different network. 9-1-1 is slated to air on ABC, while Lone Star will take over as Fox's biggest returning drama.
