WHAT MATTERS:

• Numbers posted.

Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 1/15/20

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• It was a rough return for the regular ABC lineup as The Goldbergs (0.7) and 10/9c drama Stumptown (0.4) each fell to new series lows. The 9/8c comedies Modern Family (0.9) and Single Parents (0.6) gave back all of their Jeopardy! bounces from a week ago.

• NBC's Chicago trio (1.2/1.2/1.1) dominated, with all three shows up a tenth from last week, while CBS' Undercover Boss (0.7) and Criminal Minds (0.7) matched last week's premieres and S.W.A.T. (0.6) returned even at 10/9c.

• Fox's Flirty Dancing (0.4) and Almost Family (0.3) had their last regularly-scheduled episodes before finishing their runs on Saturday, while the CW's Nancy Drew could only muster up a 0.1 for its return, leading out of The CW Dog Honors (0.1) rather than its usual Riverdale.

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 1/14/20

FINALS UPDATE: This Is Us (1.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The last night of Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time (1.9) dominated but lost some steam from its low-2's level last week, and it also provided way less assistance to lead-out comedies Mixed-ish (0.7) and Black-ish (0.5). At 10/9c, Emergence cratered all the way to its first ever 0.3.

• NBC featured the returns of dramas This Is Us (1.4, down a notch from its fall finale) and New Amsterdam (even at 0.8). At 8/7c, Ellen's Game of Games (1.0) matched last week's 8/7c hour.

• The CW had its first drama programming of 2020, the two-hour wrap-up to Crisis on Infinite Earths (0.5/0.5). This was a dip from the 0.65/0.60/0.65 for the first three hours in early December.

• On the other two networks, the only movement was downticks from 24 Hours to Hell and Back (0.6) and FBI (0.8). That meant FBI's spin-off FBI: Most Wanted (0.8) had a promising week two hold at 10/9c.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 1/13/20

FINALS UPDATE: America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.0) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Up against the college football national championship game, week two saw multiple-tenth drops for both ABC's The Bachelor (1.6/1.5) and NBC's America's Got Talent: The Champions (0.9/1.0). At 10/9c, Manifest (0.7) slipped behind the return of The Good Doctor (0.8).

• CBS (0.6/0.5/0.4/0.4) went back into repeat mode while Fox (0.4/0.3) and the CW (0.2/0.1) stayed there.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 1/12/20

FINALS UPDATE: NFL Playoffs (10.5, +1.9) adjusted up while Bob's Burgers (2.1, -0.6) and Bless the Harts (1.0, -0.3) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt For the Bone Collector

Fridays, 8/7c, NBC

Spotted Ratings, Friday 1/10/20

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC got a decent-for-Friday premiere out of new drama Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector (0.6), tying The Blacklist's season high on the night. Dateline (0.7) grew from there, winning the head-to-head with 20/20 (0.6).

• CBS was down a notch in the first two hours (0.8/0.7) vs. last week's Hawaii Five-0/Magnum P.I. crossover, while Blue Bloods (0.7) was even at 10/9c.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 1/9/20

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Numbers to come. A rearranged NBC comedy lineup saw The Good Place (8:30) and Will and Grace (9:00) return to longtime former timeslots, with Perfect Harmony shoved to 9:30. The third night of Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time led into a two-hour Truth & Lies on Jeffrey Epstein.

Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 1/8/20

FINALS UPDATE: Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time (2.4) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Night two of Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time (2.3) held up swimmingly, dropping just a tenth from its Tuesday premiere. And it had an even more profound impact on the Wednesday comedy hour, vaulting Modern Family (1.5) and Single Parents (0.9) to new season highs and their best raw ratings since 2018. But Stumptown (0.5) couldn't pick up any steam at 10/9c.

• CBS brought in a couple veterans to help bridge the Survivor seasons on Wednesday, with the season premieres of Undercover Boss (0.7) and Criminal Minds (0.7/0.7). This was the first sighting of the Boss since a celebrity edition in summer 2018, and the first non-celebrity season since spring 2017. Minds was back after almost a full year off, but managed to tie its 0.7 premiere in fall 2018.

• NBC's Chicago Med (1.1), Chicago Fire (1.1) and Chicago PD (1.0) all returned down a notch from their fall finales. And the Fox duo of Flirty Dancing (0.3) and Almost Family (0.3) somehow got even more invisible.
