FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.
WHAT MATTERS:- Week two of Big Brother (1.1) improved, back in its more familiar 8/7c slot, trouncing the timeslot premiere of Wednesday results shows for America's Got Talent (0.7). AGT led into a special Wednesday finale for World of Dance (0.6).
- The two-hour series finale of Agents of SHIELD (0.4/0.3) is eyeing a season high (at least in the 9/8c hour). Week two of Coroner remained at 0.1 while the gap in total viewers vs. The 100 narrowed (656k vs. 629k this week).

WHAT MATTERS:- NBC's dominant duo of America's Got Talent (1.3) and World of Dance (0.9) came down 10%ish from last week's premieres.
- ABC's The Genetic Detective preliminarily remained at 0.4, getting a little bigger 9/8c lead-in from a news special on the protests (0.6). The ABC night opened with a couple of topical Black-ish repeats (0.6/0.5).
- The CW's Stargirl (0.2) ended its 0.3 streak in week three, matching the season finale of Legends of Tomorrow (0.2).
FINALS UPDATE: America's Got Talent (1.5) adjusted up while
FBI (R)
(0.4) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- America's Got Talent (1.4/1.5) returned to NBC, taking a 10-15% drop from last year's 1.7 premiere. World of Dance (1.0) returned to the post-Talent slot after occupying spring Sundays last year, and had similar retention to what it was doing after AGT two summers ago.
- ABC had a much quieter original launch with docu-series The Genetic Detective (0.4) at 10/9c, which had little lead-in help from a Diane Sawyer special (0.4) in the 9/8c hour.
- And it was another promising Tuesday on the CW, as Stargirl (0.3) and Legends of Tomorrow (0.2) preliminarily both held onto last week's ratings.
World of Dance
Tuesdays, 10/9c, NBC
It's time for a journey through the NBC Sunday schedule in 2018-19...
FINALS UPDATE: American Idol (1.2) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- It was a mostly down night on the first Sunday in May; the CBS numbers scrambled due to a golf overrun, but week two of The Red Line managed a pathetic 0.3 in the 90 minutes that exclusively belonged to it, while NCIS: Los Angeles appeared to pull itself back up to a 0.5 in the 10:00 hour.
- ABC's American Idol (1.1) gave back a lot of its late April surge, returning to mid-season levels, while America's Funniest Home Videos (0.9) and Shark Tank (0.7) were also down. Also on the decline were Fox's comedies (0.7/0.7/0.7) and NBC's Good Girls (0.5). Among the few steady shows: the season finale of World of Dance (0.8), and the CW's dramas (0.3/0.2).
FINALS UPDATE: American Idol (1.6, +0.2) and
The Simpsons (0.8) adjusted up while
The Red Line (0.4) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- CBS got a very poor two-hour start from limited series The Red Line (0.5/0.4), which couldn't even get to God Friended Me series low levels on its series premiere night. Buried at 10/9c after Red Line, NCIS: Los Angeles fell to its first ever 0.6.
- But it was a positive night especially on the rest of the big three, as American Idol (1.5/1.4) continued on another late April upswing and NBC's World of Dance (0.8) and Good Girls (0.6) were also up.
- The Simpsons (0.7) and Bob's Burgers (0.8) were even in their returns from a couple weeks off, while Family Guy (0.8) ticked down in its first head-to-head with Game of Thrones. The CW dramas (0.3/0.2) were even.
FINALS UPDATE: American Idol (1.3) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- ABC's American Idol (1.2) sought another late April surge with Disney Night. Since it was live in all time zones, it should get more of a boost in finals than the season has so far. Shark Tank (0.8) was even at 10/9c.
- NBC's World of Dance (0.7) matched last week, while Good Girls ticked back down to 0.5. CBS populated the 8:00-10:00 block with an old-skewing Motown special (0.6), leading into the Madam Secretary season finale (0.4). Supergirl (0.3) and Charmed (0.2) were even in their returns from a couple weeks off.
FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.
WHAT MATTERS:- Though CBS got its dream Masters winner in Tiger Woods, it ended up with no primetime boost from the event, since the prospect of late-afternoon weather saw the conclusion moved to hours earlier in the afternoon. So the season finale of God Friended Me (0.6) along with NCIS: Los Angeles (0.7) and Madam Secretary (0.4) all tied their season lows.
- ABC's American Idol (1.3/1.2) and NBC's World of Dance (0.7/0.8) were both on the rebound, apparently having more trouble with last week's ACM Awards than with this week's Game of Thrones premiere. 10/9c occupants Shark Tank (0.8) and Good Girls (0.6) were even. Fox and the CW were in repeat mode against Thrones.
FINALS UPDATE: The Simpsons (R)
(0.4) adjusted up while
Ellen's Game of Games (R)
(0.4) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- CBS joined the music-themed programming fray on Sunday with the Academy of Country Music Awards (1.6), which appear to have taken a step backward after three relatively steady years in the low-2's.
- But they were still potent enough to take a couple tenths out of American Idol (1.0) and a tenth out of both preliminary hours of World of Dance (0.6/0.7). The 10:00 shows held up better as Shark Tank (0.8) was down a tenth (but barely eked out a 0.9 last week) and Good Girls managed to pull off another 0.6. Fox was also down a notch with The Simpsons (0.7) and Bob's Burgers (0.8).
FINALS UPDATE: 60 Minutes (2.0, +0.4),
NCIS: Los Angeles (1.0),
Madam Secretary (0.6) and
Good Girls (0.6) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- CBS had an even bigger basketball lead-in on the second Sunday of March Madness, but it was over considerably earlier than last week; 60 Minutes (1.6), God Friended Me (1.1), NCIS: Los Angeles (0.9/0.8) and Madam Secretary (0.5) started just 17 minutes late. Because these prelims are acting as if they started at the bottom of the hour, the earlier programs should adjust up if anything.
- ABC's American Idol went three hours (1.3/1.2/1.1), outperforming the usual Shark Tank rating at 10/9c. NBC's Good Girls was back down to 0.5 following World of Dance (0.7/0.8), while Fox's The Simpsons (0.8) and Family Guy (0.9) along with the CW (0.3/0.2) were even.
