Spotted Ratings, Thursday 5/14/20

FINALS UPDATE: Celebrity Watch Party (0.4) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The series finale of How to Get Away with Murder (0.7) wrapped up a respectable spring half of the season with a new season high, and lead-in Station 19 (0.9) was also up on its season finale night. The night began with a steady Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (0.9).

• Fox's Celebrity Watch Party (0.3) went even lower in week two, while NBC's Council of Dads (0.4) and Blindspot (0.3) remained weak in their second airings together.

• The CW's Katy Keene (0.1) wrapped up its season, but the transition to summer will not be too obvious on Thursdays, as CBS' Man with a Plan (0.7) and Broke (0.6) along with CW's In the Dark (0.1) will continue airing into the summer.

FINALS UPDATE: Man with a Plan (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC unveiled its regular early-summer Thursday lineup, with Council of Dads (0.4) picking up a tenth in its move to 8/7c and the final season of Blindspot (0.3) premiering lifelessly at 9/8c.

• Fox didn't do much with its premiere of new reality series Celebrity Watch Party (0.4).

• ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (0.9) continued to improve in its new timeslot, but the TGIT remnants Station 19 (0.8) and How to Get Away with Murder (0.5) were each down a tenth from last week. CBS' recently cancelled originals Man with a Plan (0.7), Broke (0.6) and Tommy (0.5) were all even.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/30/20

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC got strong interest in an 8/7c hour full of Parks and Recreation-themed programming, with a Paley Center salute to the series hitting a 1.0 at 8:00 and A Parks and Recreation Special growing to a whooping 1.4 at 8:30. 
• The episode at 8:30 went way higher in Plus than anything during P&R's regular run, and even the Paley special at 8/7c was about on par with the regular run series high (which was a 126 Plus). If treated as a regular sitcom episode, it would be the third-biggest live action comedy episode of the season, behind only the Modern Family finale (1.6) and the post-Jeopardy! Modern Family in January (1.5). And its whooping 1.2 in A18-34 easily topped all live action sitcoms this season (none of which have even hit a 1.0).

• But the P&R interest in the 8/7c hour did not translate to the first Thursday edition of new drama Council of Dads, which managed only a 0.4 for the pilot encore at 9/8c and dropped to a paltry 0.3 at 10/9c.

• On ABC, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (0.8) got some juice from a move to an earlier hour, while Station 19 (0.9) predictably fell well behind what it had been doing alongside Grey's Anatomy. At 10/9c, How to Get Away with Murder (0.6) matched two weeks ago when S19 was three tenths bigger.

• CBS got an uptick for the season finale of Young Sheldon (1.1), but the bigger lead-in didn't boost a double-dip of Man with a Plan (0.7/0.7), Broke (0.6) or Tommy (0.5). Fox's Last Man Standing (0.7) also concluded its season.

Council of Dads

Thursdays, 8/7c, NBC

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 3/24/20

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC previewed new drama Council of Dads (0.7) after the season finale of This Is Us (1.7), which rocketed to its highest rating since October and was just two tenths below last year's finale. NBC also had a second straight new season high from Ellen's Game of Games (1.4) at 8/7c. As for Council, it came in below last week's episode of New Amsterdam, and also a tenth behind last year's premiere of The Village which had a 0.8 after a 1.7 lead-in from This Is Us.

• After missing out on last Tuesday's fun, CBS returned to all originals in a big way, with NCIS (1.3) tying its season high and the Dick Wolf duo of FBI (1.1) and FBI: Most Wanted (1.0) exploding to new ones.

• ABC (1.1/0.7/0.6/0.6/0.6) was down a notch leading off with The Conners but even elsewhere. Fox's The Resident (0.8) and Empire (0.7) matched last week.
