The Breakdown: NBC Thursday in 2019-20 (Superstore, Will and Grace, Law and Order: SVU and more!)

It's time for a journey through the NBC Thursday schedule in 2019-20...

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 1/30/20

FINALS UPDATE: The Good Place Special (0.5) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The 90-minute series finale of The Good Place (0.7/0.7/0.6), which included live post-show interviews, got the show back into 0.7 territory for the first time since the season premiere and matched its lead-in from Superstore (0.7).

• ABC came back to earth somewhat from last week's crossover premiere night, but still dominated the first two hours with Station 19 (1.0) and Grey's Anatomy (1.1). A Million Little Things (0.6) was down a notch at 10/9c.

• Fox's Last Man Standing (0.7) dropped a tenth, but the newbie lead-outs Outmatched (0.6) and Deputy (0.6) held on pretty well. The CBS comedies (1.0/0.6/0.7/0.6) were even vs. two weeks ago while Evil (0.5) ticked up in its season finale. And the CW was preliminarily on the high end with Supernatural (0.3) and Legacies (0.3).

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 10/3/19

FINALS UPDATE: Thursday Night Football (4.4, +0.7) adjusted up while A Million Little Things (0.8) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Things didn't get any worse for the CBS comedy lineup in week two, with Young Sheldon (1.0) matching last week's prelims (it later adjusted up to 1.1) while The Unicorn (0.8), Mom (0.8), Carol's Second Act (0.7) and drama newbie Evil (0.6) all matched last week's finals.

• On NBC, the 8/7c hour of Superstore (0.8) and Perfect Harmony (0.5) was even, but The Good Place (0.6) fell and, remarkably, so it did its already DOA lead-out Sunnyside (0.3). At 10/9c Law and Order: SVU managed to pull its way up to a 0.7 once again, beating its drama competition.

• ABC Thursday was down across the board with Grey's Anatomy (1.3) losing two tenths and A Million Little Things (0.9) and How to Get Away with Murder (0.5) each down one.

• And Fox's Thursday Night Football (3.7) was actually just a couple tenths below last week's huge prelim; we'll see if it can catch up in finals since the game featured West Coast markets.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 1/24/19

FINALS UPDATE: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.9) and The Good Place (0.7) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Numbers to come.

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 1/17/19

FINALS UPDATE: Mom (1.2) and Fam (0.9) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• A new timeslot provided some solid initial results for A Million Little Things (1.1), as the ABC drama went to Thursday 9/8c and tied its series premiere rating. That's a major boost over its usual 0.7's on Wednesday, and it hadn't done better than a 0.8 since week two. It's also better than what ABC usually got from fall occupant Station 19 (though Station did better on crossover nights). It was surrounded by Grey's Anatomy (1.9, up a notch from its fall finale) and How to Get Away with Murder (0.7, down a tick).

• NBC Thursday took a noticeable hit with The Titan Games (1.3) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.9) both down by three tenths from last week. The Good Place (0.8) was down one tenth, and Law and Order: SVU (0.9) actually managed an uptick at 10/9c.

• On CBS, week two of Fam (1.0) was down a typical two tenths, and the other three comedies (2.3/1.7/1.3) were all down at least a tenth as well.

• Fox's dramas (0.7/0.7) were even, while the CW's Supernatural (0.4) kicked off 2019 by tying its fall finale.
