Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 5/11/21

FINALS UPDATE: NCIS (0.7), FBI (0.7) and FBI: Most Wanted (0.6) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• This Is Us (0.8) returned for the first time in four weeks, topping its last couple prelims with perhaps some help from The Voice (0.6) as a lead-in. TIU led the night as CBS' NCIS (0.6) and FBI (0.6) gave back their gains from last week.
  

• ABC's Pooch Perfect fell to a prelim 0.3 for the first time, but Big Sky was back up to a preliminary 0.4 after hitting 0.3 prelim/0.4 final the last couple weeks. The dramas on Fox (0.5/0.4) and the CW (0.2/0.1) were even.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 5/4/21

FINALS UPDATE: Big Sky (0.4) and FBI (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The CBS dramas mostly had a bounce-back night, as NCIS (0.8) got back to relative normal after last week's low and FBI (0.7) was up vs. last week's prelim as well. But FBI: Most Wanted (0.5) lost a tenth at 10/9c.
  

• NBC's Young Rock (0.5) and New Amsterdam (0.4) along with Fox's Prodigal Son (0.4) were also up a notch vs. their last prelims, but the recently renewed Big Sky (0.3) was not able to rebound.

• The CW had the only relatively down night with The Flash (0.2) and Supergirl (0.1).
  

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.
