Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/22/21

FINALS UPDATE: Grey's Anatomy (0.9), Young Sheldon (0.7), United States of Al (0.6) and Law and Order: SVU (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Hell's Kitchen (0.8) ended a strong season by tying its season high in the prelims, and it helped Last Man Standing (0.5) do the same at 9/8c.
  

• The other networks were a mix of even to slightly down, with ABC's Grey's Anatomy (0.8) and Rebel (0.4) each inching down from last week's prelims and Law and Order: SVU (0.7) declining back to around its pre-crossover highs. The CW aired documentary 2040 (0.1).
  

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/15/21

FINALS UPDATE: Station 19 (0.8), United States of Al (0.6), Law and Order: SVU (0.9), Law and Order: Organized Crime (0.7) and Hell's Kitchen (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/8/21

FINALS UPDATE: Station 19 (0.8) and B Positive (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC's new drama Rebel (0.5) had a fairly quiet start in the 10/9c hour, looking no better than most of the A Million Little Things episodes in this slot all season. A Station 19 (0.7) and Grey's Anatomy (0.9) crossover in the preceding hours was pretty similar to last week.
  

• NBC saw a big fall for week two of the Law and Order: SVU (0.9) and Law and Order: Organized Crime (0.8) pairing, though SVU remained way ahead of its season high from before last Thursday. Manifest (0.5) was also on the downturn in the 8/7c hour.
  

• CBS perhaps benefited from the weaker NBC and was mostly a bit up from last week's prelims with Young Sheldon (0.7), week two of United States of Al (0.6), Mom (0.6), B Positive (0.4) and Clarice (0.3). Last Man Standing (0.4) returned at 9/8c to lead into The Moodys (0.3), and the CW's Walker (0.2) and Legacies (0.1) were back from a break.
  

Spotted Ratings, Thursday 4/1/21

FINALS UPDATE: Station 19 (0.8), Grey's Anatomy (0.9), Young Sheldon (0.7), United States of Al (0.6), Law and Order: SVU (1.7) and Law and Order: Organized Crime (1.6) adjusted up while Clarice (0.2) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC got a serious breakout performance from its two-hour Law and Order crossover as Christopher Meloni returned to the universe, with SVU (1.6) posting the biggest rating for a scripted series without a football lead-out this season and Meloni's Organized Crime premiere (1.5) not far behind. It will be the biggest night for SVU in the Plus era by a wide margin (its previous high was a 182 way back in 2004).

• Leading into the crossover was the season three premiere of Manifest (0.6), nearly a year after its last season's finale. It was down from its last season premiere (0.9 on Monday at 10/9c in January 2020).

• The night's other premieres ranged from quiet (a 0.5 for sitcom United States of Al leading out of Young Sheldon (0.6)) to disastrous (a 0.3/0.2 return for The Moodys following Hell's Kitchen (0.7)).

• And ABC's Station 19 (0.7), Grey's Anatomy (0.8) and A Million Little Things (0.4) took a hit against the stronger NBC competition.

Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 12/4/19

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Leading out of The Masked Singer (1.8), Fox's event comedy series The Moodys (0.7) opened with a performance that would be poor by most standards but managed to outperform what the network has been getting out of Almost Family lately. (Though it was not really any better than the Almost Family premiere, which had a 0.75 out of a 2.0 TMS.)

• NBC special Christmas in Rockefeller Center (1.1) was down two tenths year-to-year, but provided another The Voice-esque lead-in for night three of Making It (0.5).

• ABC had a soft return in the 8/7c hour, with The Goldbergs (0.8) and Schooled (0.6) returning to new lows, but Modern Family (0.9) and Single Parents (0.6) and Stumptown (0.5) were even. CBS' Survivor (1.2), SEAL Team (0.7) and S.W.A.T. (0.5) were back to normal after their odd Thanksgiving Eve showings and matched two weeks ago. The CW (0.2/0.2) was also even with two weeks ago.
