Renewology Week 27: What Does The Resident's Renewal Say About New Fox?

Here's a look at the big Renewology developments in week 27.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 3/11/19

FINALS UPDATE: The Bachelor (2.3) and Man with a Plan (0.8) adjusted up while The Good Doctor (1.3) and The Enemy Within (0.9) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The season finale of The Bachelor (2.2) rose to a new season high, tying last season's finale, and also provided a jolt to The Good Doctor (1.4) at 10/9c. (If it holds in finals, TGD would have a new season high as well.)

• Despite bigger ABC competition, NBC fared pretty well as The Voice (2.0) managed to stay in the twos and The Enemy Within (1.0) preliminarily pulled off a week three rebound.

• The news was not quite so rosy elsewhere, as CBS' The Neighborhood (1.0) was down in its return to originals and also couldn't provide any help to Man with a Plan (0.7) and Magnum P.I. (0.7). On Fox, The Passage (0.8/0.7) finished up with a two-hour finale, hitting a new low in the second hour. The CW's Arrow did manage to come back up to 0.3 after last week's huge stinker.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 3/4/19

FINALS UPDATE: Magnum P.I. (0.7), The Voice (2.1) and The Passage (0.9) adjusted up while The Resident (0.9) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Week two of The Enemy Within (0.9) took a sizable week two drop, skewing much older than last week with no Bull competition in the timeslot. (It was just 7% from last week in total viewers!) It fell behind a steady The Good Doctor (1.1), while their respective lead-ins The Voice (1.9/2.2) and The Bachelor (1.9/2.1) were in a virtual dead heat in the first two hours.

• On CBS, things fell apart for Man with a Plan (0.7) and Magnum P.I. (0.6) following a repeat of The Neighborhood (0.8). The Passage (0.8) couldn't bounce back for Fox, despite a nice return from its lead-in The Resident (1.0). And the CW had a truly dreadful return from several weeks off, with Arrow and Black Lightning each managing only a 0.2.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 2/25/19

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC launched its spring cycle of The Voice (2.1) into new drama The Enemy Within (1.2). The Voice managed to outrate the 2.0 fall premiere, but was down 25% from the year-ago spring premiere (2.8) which opened on the heels of the Olympics. Enemy Within had a wait-and-see premiere; it was toward the lower end of post-Voice drama launches historically and down in Plus from last spring's Good Girls launch, but maybe a little less than The Voice itself was down.

• ABC was in second for the night in each hour as The Bachelor (1.8) was down a tenth and The Good Doctor (1.1) was even. CBS was up a tenth across the board (1.2/1.0/0.9/0.8), meaning Magnum P.I. worked its way up to a regularly-scheduled 0.9 for the first time since October. With a different lead-in from a The Masked Singer repeat (0.7), The Passage finally fell to its first 0.8.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 2/18/19

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• It was finale night for one of the winter's biggest year-to-year timeslot gaining lineups, America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.6/1.7) and Manifest (1.0) on NBC. But they didn't do anything out of the ordinary on finale night, with Manifest giving back a tenth after last week's surge, and trailed ABC's combo of The Bachelor (1.8/1.9) and The Good Doctor (1.1) in each hour.

• CBS got another drop from The Neighborhood (1.1) and Man with a Plan (0.9), putting Neighborhood way off of its winter heights and back to what it was doing throughout most of the fall. Magnum P.I. (0.8) was back after a couple weeks off and matched its last January episode. And Fox was down with The Resident (0.9), but The Passage made it four weeks in a row at 0.9.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 2/11/19

FINALS UPDATE: The Bachelor (1.9) and Arrow (0.4) adjusted up while Man with a Plan (1.0) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The week got off to a good start for ABC with The Bachelor (1.9/1.8), even or up a tenth from last week, and for NBC with America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.6/1.9) which was up by at least a tenth. AGT lead-out Manifest (1.1) also fared well in its penultimate episode, up against a repeat of The Good Doctor (0.6) on ABC.

• CBS' The Neighborhood (1.3) and Man with a Plan (1.1) barely budged from last week's strong returns, but Bull (0.7) was down a notch with an incompatible Celebrity Big Brother lead-in (0.8). Fox's dramas (1.0/0.9) were even, while Arrow (0.3) ticked down on the CW.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 2/4/19

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• It was a stellar Super Monday for CBS' freshman comedy The Neighborhood (1.4), which rose to a new series high at 8/7c. Leading out was the return of Man with a Plan (1.1), and the third-year comedy managed to be up year-to-year vs. its last season premiere in November 2017. (It was a tenth below its highest points from January a year ago.) Then came Celebrity Big Brother (1.1) and Bull (0.8), which did nothing out of the ordinary.

• The Bachelor (1.8/1.7) was ahead of America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.6/1.7) this week, while their respective lead-outs The Good Doctor (1.0) and Manifest (0.9) both shed a tenth to tie their series lows.
  

• Fox saw The Passage hold at 0.9 in week four, but it was a tenth behind its lead-in from an upticking The Resident (1.0). The recently renewed CW dramas (0.4/0.3) were even again.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 1/28/19

FINALS UPDATE: Magnum P.I. (0.8) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• It was another virtual dead heat between reality leaders The Bachelor (1.8/1.7) and America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.7/1.8), which each winning one of the two hours. At 10/9c, The Good Doctor (1.1) maintained a lead over Manifest (1.0), but was down a tenth while Manifest was steady.

• Fox dramas The Resident (0.9) and The Passage (0.9) were both down for the second week in a row, while recently renewed Magnum P.I. remained at 0.7 after a lower Celebrity Big Brother (1.1) lead-in. (Though CBB was up from its Friday/Sunday telecasts.) The CW (0.4/0.3) was even.

Renewology Week 18: The Winter Premieres Revisited; Passage, Orville, Schooled, Brooklyn, Roswell, Blacklist, Fam

Here's a look at the big Renewology developments in week 18. This week, with a lull on the premiere calendar, I'm taking a look back at all the stuff that has premiered since the new year. With some more data in the books, which perceptions have changed?

Spotted Ratings, Monday 1/21/19

FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.

WHAT MATTERS:

• CBS brought back Celebrity Big Brother (1.4) for a second run, and it started a little weaker in Plus than the inaugural season which opened at 1.8 a year ago. Considering it was up against two reality heavyweights in The Bachelor (1.6) and America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.5/1.6), CBS will probably take it.
• But the bigger lead-in (plus Sunday's big game exposure) did absolutely nothing for Magnum P.I., which is at its second straight preliminary 0.7 and will need more adjustment help to avoid a new low in finals.

• While the reality staples on ABC and NBC were down a touch, the 10/9c dramas held up; The Good Doctor matched last week's 1.2, and Manifest (1.0) preliminarily managed to get back a tenth after last week's large drop.

• On Fox, week two of The Passage (1.0) was down three tenths from last week's premiere, not a catastrophic drop but a little higher than the average newbie. It matched lead-in The Resident (1.0), which was down a notch from last week's season high.

• And Black Lightning (0.3) made the move to Monday on the CW, where it was a tenth below its Arrow lead-in (0.4) and in line with what it did for most of the fall after The Flash.

Renewology Week 17: The Passage Is a Toss-Up, Roswell Is a Favorite, A Million Little Things Moves

Here's a look at the big Renewology developments in week 17.

Spotted Ratings, Monday 1/14/19

FINALS UPDATE: The Bachelor (1.7), The Neighborhood (1.3) and Magnum P.I. (0.8) adjusted up while Bull (0.7) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Fox got a nice premiere rating for 9/8c genre drama The Passage (1.3), if not quite as strong as last January's 9-1-1 launch. On most networks, Passage would be starting with a lot of room to work with; on new Fox, it may have to hold up quite well from here. Its lead-in The Resident (1.1) tied with the season premiere for its highest rating this season.

• In the unscripted wars, The Bachelor (1.6) upticked from last week's premiere and pulled to within a tenth of America's Got Talent: The Champions (1.7), which was down a notch. But ABC pulled even or maybe even a bit ahead for the full nightly average; The Good Doctor (1.2) returned with an uptick at 10/9c and handily defeated Manifest (0.9), which saw its run of 1.1's come to a crashing halt.

• CBS had its own best-since-premiere rating with The Neighborhood (1.2), and an OK send-off for Happy Together (0.9) at 8:30. But Magnum P.I. (0.7) had a bitter start to 2019, returning on a new low as it prepares to air after the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
