• Fox had mixed news as The Simpsons dropped to its first ever preliminary 0.3 at 8/7c, but Bob's Burgers (0.5) and Family Guy (0.5) were up in the 9/8c hour. NBC had a two-hour American Ninja Warrior special (0.3/0.4) leading into Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.2) and Good Girls (0.3).
  

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 5/2/21

FINALS UPDATE: American Idol (0.8), 60 Minutes (0.6), The Equalizer (0.7), Ellen's Game of Games (R) (0.3), The Simpsons (R) (0.3) and Bob's Burgers (0.4) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Disney Night on American Idol (0.7) matched the show's last prelim from two weeks ago, while lead-out The Rookie (0.5) was on the upswing at 10/9c. It was a fairly close race against CBS as The Equalizer (0.6) matched its last prelim while NCIS: Los Angeles (0.6) and NCIS: New Orleans (0.5) were up.
  

• On NBC, Ellen's Game of Games (0.4) actually hit its highest prelim since the move to Sunday, and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.3) was up in prelims as well, matching Good Girls (0.3). Fox was only partially original with Bless the Harts (0.2), Bob's Burgers (0.3) and Family Guy (0.4).
  

• And the return of DC's Legends of Tomorrow (0.1) did not liven up CW Sundays, while Batwoman (0.1) moved to 9/8c.
  

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 4/18/21

FINALS UPDATE: American Idol (0.8), The Rookie (0.5), Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.3) and Family Guy (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The Academy of Country Music Awards (0.8) became one of the first events to air a second time since the start of the pandemic, just seven months after a delayed edition in September 2020. It was down some more from the 1.0 prelim/1.1 final for that show.
  

• Elsewhere, ABC's American Idol (0.6/0.7) was on the downswing, thanks in part to the 7/6c hour tanking with a couple Home Economics repeats (0.3/0.2). NBC's Good Girls actually rose to 0.4 in the 10/9c hour, tying ABC's The Rookie at least in the rounded prelims, while lead-in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist fell back to 0.2. The Fox animation (0.3/0.4/0.3/0.4/0.4) was even to slightly down.
  

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 4/11/21

FINALS UPDATE: NCIS: New Orleans (R) (0.4) and The Great North (0.4) adjusted up while 60 Minutes (0.9, -0.3) and The Equalizer (R) (0.5) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• CBS hourly numbers (1.2/0.6/0.4/0.3) include almost a half hour of Masters overrun and (particularly the early hours) should adjust down in finals.
  

•  ABC looks a bit down from last week with American Idol (0.7/0.8) and The Rookie (0.4) while the Fox animation (0.2/0.4/0.3/0.4/0.5) was about even with two weeks ago. NBC's Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.3) inched up alongside the return of Good Girls (0.3) to originals.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 4/4/21

FINALS UPDATE: America's Funniest Home Videos (0.6), The Equalizer (0.7) and Ellen's Game of Games (0.3) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• With no more basketball help, CBS was on the downswing with The Equalizer (0.6), NCIS: Los Angeles (0.5) and NCIS: New Orleans (0.4), while The Rookie (0.5) perked up following American Idol (0.7/0.8) to give ABC a win in each hour.
  

• It was very ugly on the other big four networks as Fox's Bless the Harts fell to a 0.1 without its usual animated teammates, and two-hour special Malika the Lion Queen (0.1/0.2) did not do much better. NBC's Ellen's Game of Games fell to a 0.2 leading into Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.2).
  

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 3/28/21

FINALS UPDATE: America's Funniest Home Videos (0.7), NCAA Overrun (2.3, +0.9), 60 Minutes (1.1, +0.2), The Equalizer (0.8) and NCIS: New Orleans (0.6) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• With another round of NCAA basketball overrun (1.4), CBS was roughly even in the prelims with 60 Minutes (0.9), The Equalizer (0.7), NCIS: Los Angeles (0.6) and NCIS: New Orleans (0.5).
  

• NBC moved Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.2) back to its season one timeslot, where it lost half the demo rating it was pulling on Tuesday. Ellen's Game of Games (0.3) was unchanged in a move to 8/7c and Good Girls had to beat its lead-in just to get back to a 0.3 at 10/9c.
  

• ABC's The Rookie (0.4) returned from a month off leading out of a steady American Idol (0.8). Fox's Cherries Wild dropped to 0.1 with less afternoon lead-in help, while the animation (0.2/0.4/0.3/0.4/0.4) including a The Great North repeat looked pretty even.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 2/9/21

FINALS UPDATE: Black-ish (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• This Is Us (1.0) finally returned to originals and preliminarily matched its last rating from four weeks ago. It was no help to lead-in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.4) and lead-out Nurses (0.3), which were both even with last week.
  

• The CBS dramas (0.9/0.8/0.6) matched their last prelims from two weeks ago, and the Fox dramas (0.5/0.4) were steady with their prelims from last week. (Most of those shows went on to adjust up in finals.) On ABC, Black-ish (0.4) dropped to join its companion Mixed-ish at 0.4, but Big Sky admirably pulled off another 0.6 at 10/9c.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 2/2/21

FINALS UPDATE: To Tell the Truth (0.6), Mixed-ish (0.5), FBI: Most Wanted (R) (0.4), The Resident (0.6) and Prodigal Son (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC's revamped Tuesday couldn't hold onto its premiere ratings in the first two hours, with To Tell the Truth (0.5), Black-ish (0.5) and especially Mixed-ish (0.4) all down from last week's prelims. But Big Sky pulled off another 0.6 at 10/9c, looking all the more promising by comparison and actually winning the night outright in prelims.
  

• Despite CBS in repeats (0.4/0.4/0.3), 8/7c dramas The Resident (0.5) and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.4) were down a notch from last week. Airing after yet another This Is Us repeat (0.3), Nurses inched back up to 0.3, and Prodigal Son posted another 0.4.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 1/26/21

FINALS UPDATE: To Tell the Truth (0.7), NCIS (1.0), FBI: Most Wanted (0.7) and This Is Us (R) (0.3) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC united its Anthony Anderson-fronted shows as a winter run of To Tell the Truth (0.6) led into a Tuesday return for Black-ish (0.6) and the second season premiere of its spin-off Mixed-ish (0.6). Black-ish improved upon its late fall episodes after The Conners, and Mixed-ish also grew from when we last saw it in the spring. Big Sky (0.6) rounded out a consistent night at 10/9c, holding onto the same demo rating it was getting after The Bachelorette.
  

• Two nights after its post-AFC Championship exposure, FBI (0.8) aired its first Tuesday episode of the new year, sandwiched by NCIS (0.9) and FBI: Most Wanted (0.6).
  

• Fox's The Resident (0.6) pulled farther ahead of its lead-out Prodigal Son (0.4) in week three, while Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist inched back up to 0.5 on another repeat night for This Is Us.

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 1/19/21

FINALS UPDATE: NCIS (0.8) and FBI: Most Wanted (0.6) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• NCIS (0.8/0.7) returned to CBS with a double-episode winter premiere, with the 8/7c hour ticking up slightly from its last episode in December. FBI: Most Wanted (0.5) returned steady at 10/9c.
  

• Fox had week two of The Resident (0.5) and Prodigal Son (0.5), with the former taking a somewhat steep decline vs. last week's 0.65 premiere. With This Is Us in repeats due to COVID-related production delays, its surrounding programs Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.4) and Nurses (0.2) were both on the downswing.
  

Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 1/12/21

FINALS UPDATE: Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.5) and This Is Us (1.0) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Fox dramas The Resident (0.6) and Prodigal Son (0.5) returned from roughly nine-month hiatuses with Resident tying its low from last season, while Prodigal Son is eyeing a new series low (though it had much better lead-ins throughout season one).
  

• On NBC, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.4) and This Is Us (0.9) each dropped a tenth from their winter premieres, leaving TIU down by three tenths from what it was doing just in November and down roughly 40% from what it was doing at this time last year.
  

• And the CW, filling six more Tuesdays before it finally gets The Flash back, brought back Two Sentence Horror Stories (0.1/0.1) and premiered Canadian import Trickster (0.1).

WHAT MATTERS:

It was no help to its new lead-out This Is Us (1.0), which dropped by two tenths from its fall finale. Airing after TIU for the first time, Nurses (0.3) managed to drop below its first two episodes in December.
  

• NBC could not pull into the nightly lead against a bunch of repeat/filler competition, as ABC got there with the broadcast premiere of The Lion King (0.7) and a half-hour of Senate election coverage (0.4). Fox had a two-hour Gordon Ramsay special (0.4).

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 4/26/20

FINALS UPDATE: NCIS: Los Angeles (0.5) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• American Idol (1.0) returned, live-but-socially-distant, and improved on last week's recap special rating but was down from the show's last true original three weeks ago. It didn't have as much help as usual in the 7/6c hour as ABC tried an encore of the smash The Disney Family Singalong (0.6). The Rookie (0.7) returned from a week off and grew a tenth at 10/9c.

• CBS said goodbye to God Friended Me with a two-hour finale (0.6/0.5). NBC Sunday got even uglier than usual with Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Good Girls both crashing to new low 0.3's. The CW's Batwoman (0.2) returned, but Supergirl (0.1) remained in repeats. The Fox cartoons (0.5/0.4/0.5/0.6) all matched last week.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 4/19/20

FINALS UPDATE: NCIS: New Orleans (0.6) adjusted up while The Rookie (R) (0.3) and Supergirl (R) (0.0) adjusted down.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 4/5/20

FINALS UPDATE: Little Big Shots (0.3), The Simpsons (R) (0.2) and Bob's Burgers (R) (0.2) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• In the usual Academy of Country Music Awards slot, CBS went with a more socially distant two-hour ACM special (1.0) which was close to 40% below last year's ACM Awards ratings. At 10/9c, the network replayed the Wednesday Garth Brooks/Trisha Yearwood special (0.7) and got nearly the same demo as the original run.

• The CBS competition may have slightly dented ABC's American Idol (1.2), but the net still won each hour head-to-head, including a steady return for The Rookie (0.8) at 10/9c. NBC (0.4/0.5/0.4/0.4) was low but mostly even with last week, the exception being Good Girls which dropped a tenth.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 3/29/20

FINALS UPDATE: The iHeart Living Room Concert for America (1.5, +0.2) adjusted up while The Simpsons (R) (0.4) and Family Guy (R) (0.5) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Fox jumped into contention on Sunday with benefit special The iHeart Living Room Concert for America (1.3/1.4), narrowly topping American Idol (1.3) head-to-head in the 9:00 hour.

• On CBS, 60 Minutes (1.0) was down a bit leading into the return of God Friended Me (0.6) at 8/7c, but the NCIS spin-offs (0.7) stayed strong in the second half of the night.

• NBC dramas Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (0.4) and Good Girls (0.5) were even, but their unscripted lead-ins Little Big Shots (0.4) and The Wall (0.5) lost some juice earlier in the night.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 3/22/20

FINALS UPDATE: America's Funniest Home Videos (1.0), Little Big Shots (0.6, -0.2), The Simpsons (R) (0.4, -0.2) and Bob's Burgers (0.5) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• This Sunday looked relatively like the last Sunday, though with even more juice early in the evening presumably due to news lead-ins. ABC opened on a new season high for America's Funniest Home Videos (1.1) but was close to last week with American Idol (1.3/1.4) and The Rookie (0.8).

• NBC flipped Little Big Shots (0.8) to 7/6c with The Wall (0.6) at 8/7c, which provided a big boost to LBS. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist remained at 0.4, while Good Girls was back up to 0.5.

• After 60 Minutes (1.2) increased again for CBS, the network subbed in an NCIS repeat (0.6) at 8/7c and saw further upticks for NCIS: Los Angeles (0.8) and NCIS: New Orleans (0.7).

• Fox's The Simpsons (0.6), Duncanville (0.4) and Bob's Burgers (0.6) along with the CW (0.2/0.2) matched last week.
