FINALS UPDATE: Grey's Anatomy (1.4) and The Big Bang Theory (2.0) adjusted up while In the Dark (0.1) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Fox resurrected early-aughts reality series Paradise Hotel (0.5) to relatively little interest, a bad sign for a network planning to air quite a bit of it in the second half of May sweeps and the early summer. The original incarnation was not a huge deal either, premiering to a 3.7 (83 Plus) in June 2003, but this is a big step below that.

• NBC saw Superstore (0.8) inch down at 8/7c, but used a second Superstore original to improve the 8:30 slot (0.7) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.6). Law and Order: SVU (0.7) fell at 10/9c.

• ABC's Grey's Anatomy (1.3) inched down, while Station 19 (0.9) was out of crossover mode and back to normal, ushering just-cancelled For the People down to its first 0.4. 

• In its penultimate week, The Big Bang Theory (1.9) was even, and so was everything else on CBS (1.5/1.1/0.8/0.7). CW's In the Dark returned to 0.2 at 9/8c.

FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (1.9) and Young Sheldon (1.5) adjusted up.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/25/19

FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (1.8) adjusted up while NFL Draft (1.1) and Mom (1.0) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The broadcast home for the NFL Draft (1.2) changed to ABC, where it was preliminarily up a tenth year-to-year from last year's Fox rating for round one.

• As usual, the Draft was mostly damaging to the broadcast entertainment options; The Big Bang Theory (1.7) was down from last week, as was Young Sheldon (1.4) in its return from a couple weeks off. But the bigger lead-in helped Mom (1.1) at 9/8c, while Life in Pieces (0.8) matched last week's 9:30 episode. S.W.A.T. was down a notch at 10/9c.

• NBC also saw real carnage, with Superstore (0.7) down two tenths and A.P. Bio (0.4) and Abby's (0.3) both somehow finding even lower lows (sandwiching an even Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.5)). Law and Order: SVU (0.7) somehow managed to be even at 10/9c.

• It was finale night on Fox, with Gotham (0.5) actually dropping for its series finale. But The Orville (0.7) headed into decision time on a hopeful note, posting its highest rating in the last five episodes. The CW (0.3/0.2) was even.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/11/19

FINALS UPDATE: Gotham (R) (0.3) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC's Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.6) returned to the mix at 9/8c, where it was a tick below last week's Will and Grace and helped Abby's to its first 0.4 at 9:30. Law and Order: SVU (0.7) also ticked down at 10/9c, though Superstore (0.9) led off the NBC evening with an uptick.

• CBS' Fam (0.8) inched up for its season/series finale, leading out of the last repeat Thursday for the Sheldon-verse (1.0/1.0/0.9) before TBBT's series finale in mid-May. 

• Fox's The Orville (0.6) returned from hiatus leading out of a Gotham repeat (0.4). Week two of In the Dark hung at 0.2, leading out of an upticking Supernatural (0.4). And the ABC dramas (1.5/0.9/0.5) were all even.
