The Breakdown: NBC Tuesday in 2020-21 (This Is Us, New Amsterdam, Young Rock and more!)

It's time for a journey through the NBC Tuesday schedule in 2020-21...

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 4/27/21

FINALS UPDATE: Black-ish (0.4), Big Sky (0.4), FBI (0.7), Young Rock (0.5) and New Amsterdam (0.4) adjusted up while The Flash (R) (0.1) and Supergirl (0.1) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The spring collapse of Big Sky (0.3) kept on rolling, with the show dropping once again following a very high 0.4 a week ago. At least in the rounded numbers, it didn't grow from Mixed-ish (0.3) this time, while Pooch Perfect (0.4) and Black-ish (0.3) tied their lows as well.
  

• ABC was far from the only network posting ugly results, as several other shows hit new prelim lows including CBS' NCIS (0.6) and NBC's Young Rock (0.4) and New Amsterdam (0.3). CBS' FBI (0.6) was also down to tie its low, though FBI: Most Wanted (0.6) held up fine at 10/9c.
  

• Fox was on the low end (but not new lows at least in the prelims) with The Resident (0.5) and Prodigal Son (0.3), and Supergirl actually upticked to a prelim 0.2 for the first time this season.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 4/20/21

FINALS UPDATE: Kenan (0.4) and New Amsterdam (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Big Sky's spring slump continued in its return to the 10/9c hour (0.4), though it did edge its Mixed-ish (0.3) lead-in. Earlier in the night, Pooch Perfect (0.4) was flat and Black-ish (0.4) rebounded slightly from its low two weeks ago.
  

• With This Is Us back in repeats, it was a down night for comedies Young Rock (0.5) and Kenan (0.3), with the latter hitting a new prelim low.
  

• Fox was even with The Resident (0.5) and Prodigal Son (0.4). CBS opted for repeats (0.5/0.5) and Chauvin trial coverage (0.3) at the last minute, while Supergirl (0.1) aired after a repeat of The Flash (0.1).
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 4/13/21

FINALS UPDATE: FBI: Most Wanted (R) (0.4) and This Is Us (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC's Big Sky (0.5/0.4) had a double-episode return from a two-month hiatus in diminished fashion, headed for a new series low after hitting 0.6 for most of its winter episodes (and a 0.7 for the winter finale).
  

• The Fox drama duo of The Resident (0.5) and Prodigal Son (0.4) was also back after multiple weeks off, with the former down from its last few prelims but Prodigal steady/up.
  

• NBC got a rebound from Young Rock (0.6) at 8/7c, but no such luck for Kenan (0.4), This Is Us (0.7) or New Amsterdam (0.4). The CW matched last week's prelims with The Flash (0.3) and Supergirl (0.1).
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 4/6/21

FINALS UPDATE: NCIS (1.0), FBI (0.8), FBI: Most Wanted (0.7) and This Is Us (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Back from another break, the This Is Us slump continued with another new low 0.7, which will certainly finish below the previous low 0.84 even with an upward adjustment. Its return was also no help to the surrounding programs, Young Rock (0.5) and Kenan (0.4) and New Amsterdam (0.4).
  

• ABC's Pooch Perfect (0.4) had a rough week two, dropping behind all preliminary results for previous occupant To Tell the Truth in the hour.
  

• In happier news, The Flash (0.3) was on the rebound for the CW, and the CBS dramas (0.9/0.7/0.6) returned from a couple weeks off in fairly steady fashion.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 3/30/21

FINALS UPDATE: Black-ish (0.5), FBI (R) (0.5), FBI: Most Wanted (R) (0.4) and The Masked Singer (R) (0.4) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC opened new reality series Pooch Perfect with a 0.6 in the 8/7c hour, toward the high end of what To Tell the Truth did in the hour in the winter. Black-ish (0.4), Mixed-ish (0.4) and Soul of a Nation (0.3) stayed low.
  

• The CW's Supergirl returned with its first original episode in ten months, hitting a 0.1 on premiere night after The Flash (0.2). That's an enormous drop from its 0.37 season premiere in fall 2019, but the show was mostly getting borderline 0.1-0.2's at the end of last season.
  

• NBC comedies Young Rock (0.5) and Kenan (0.4) will both need finals help to avoid new lows, while New Amsterdam dropped to 0.4 after a This Is Us repeat (0.2). CBS and Fox were also in repeats.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 3/23/21

FINALS UPDATE: Mixed-ish (0.4), Soul of a Nation (0.3), FBI (R) (0.5), This Is Us (0.9) and Superman and Lois (0.3) adjusted up.

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 3/16/21

FINALS UPDATE: Black-ish (R) (0.4), NCIS (0.9), FBI (0.8) and Kenan (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• New lows abounded on NBC with Young Rock (0.6), Kenan (0.4), This Is Us (0.8) and New Amsterdam (0.4), and the dramas would still be at new lows even with an upward adjustment. The CW's The Flash and Superman and Lois are also eyeing their first ever 0.2's.
  

• Fox had another low-rated reality debut with two episodes of Holmes Family Effect (0.3/0.2), a short order fill-in for this Tuesday and next.
  

• Compared with that ugliness, a relatively steady night on CBS with NCIS (0.8), FBI (0.7) and FBI: Most Wanted (0.6) looked strong by comparison.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 3/2/21

FINALS UPDATE: Mixed-ish (0.4), Young Rock (0.7) and Prodigal Son (0.4) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Numbers posted. Following The Voice's Tuesday premiere, New Amsterdam returned with its first original episode in almost 11 months. On the CW, The Flash returned to lead into week two of Superman and Lois.

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 2/23/21

FINALS UPDATE: FBI (R) (0.5), NCIS (R) (0.5), The Resident (R) (0.3), This Is Us (1.0), To Tell the Truth (0.6) and Young Rock (0.8) adjusted up while Superman and Lois Special (0.2) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The two-hour premiere of CW superhero effort Superman and Lois averaged a 0.3 in each hour. The actual program (from 8:00 to 9:30) may well have a 0.4 since the half-hours were 0.4/0.3/0.4, while the sneak peek special at 9:30 averaged a 0.3. It's another strong number by CW standards but it does not seem to have done better than the All American and Walker premieres in January.
  

• Despite CBS/Fox repeat competition, it was a tough week two for the new NBC lineup as Young Rock (0.7) and Kenan (0.5) both preliminarily shed three tenths from last week's premieres, and This Is Us (0.9) will need finals help to avoid a new series low.
  

• ABC also struggled with declines from To Tell the Truth (0.5) and possibly the Black-ish duo (0.5/0.4), while an extra To Tell the Truth (0.4) filled out at the night at 10/9c.

Kenan

Tuesdays, 8:30/7:30c, NBC

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 2/16/21

FINALS UPDATE: Black-ish (0.6), Big Sky (0.7) and Young Rock (1.0) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC got a solid start from its new comedy hour of Young Rock (0.9) and Kenan (0.8), boosting This Is Us (1.1) to its highest rating in 2021, and Nurses remained at 0.3.
  

• ABC was even across the board vs. last week's finals, meaning yet another 0.6 at 10/9c from Big Sky. With CBS in repeats, Fox's The Resident inched up to 0.6 at 8/7c.
