FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (R)
(0.9) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- Following a Queen/Adam Lambert special (0.8), which was a tenth below last week's American Idol clip show, ABC's The Fix dropped to its first 0.4.
- Now airing after a The Big Bang Theory repeat (0.8), Man with a Plan (0.8) managed an uptick, but The Code fell back to 0.5 at 9/8c.
- NBC was even-ish with The Voice (1.2/1.1) and The Enemy Within (0.6). Fox's 9-1-1 (1.1) passed a tenth over to The Resident (0.9). The CW's Legends of Tomorrow preliminarily got back up to 0.3.
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.
Here's a look at the big Renewology developments in week 31.
FINALS UPDATE: Dynasty (0.1) adjusted down.
FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (1.8) adjusted up while
NFL Draft (1.1) and
Mom (1.0) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- The broadcast home for the NFL Draft (1.2) changed to ABC, where it was preliminarily up a tenth year-to-year from last year's Fox rating for round one.
- As usual, the Draft was mostly damaging to the broadcast entertainment options; The Big Bang Theory (1.7) was down from last week, as was Young Sheldon (1.4) in its return from a couple weeks off. But the bigger lead-in helped Mom (1.1) at 9/8c, while Life in Pieces (0.8) matched last week's 9:30 episode. S.W.A.T. was down a notch at 10/9c.
- NBC also saw real carnage, with Superstore (0.7) down two tenths and A.P. Bio (0.4) and Abby's (0.3) both somehow finding even lower lows (sandwiching an even Brooklyn Nine-Nine (0.5)). Law and Order: SVU (0.7) somehow managed to be even at 10/9c.
- It was finale night on Fox, with Gotham (0.5) actually dropping for its series finale. But The Orville (0.7) headed into decision time on a hopeful note, posting its highest rating in the last five episodes. The CW (0.3/0.2) was even.
FINALS UPDATE: Survivor (1.5) adjusted up while
Riverdale (0.2) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- NBC's Chicago trio (1.0/1.1/1.0) was back from a couple weeks off, and all three shows matched three weeks ago.
- Against NBC's return, CBS dropped with both Survivor (1.4) and The Amazing Race (1.0), while ABC's Whiskey Cavalier fell to its first 0.4 after another round of comedy repeats (0.6/0.5/0.5/0.4).
- On Fox, Empire (1.1) and Star (0.9) were even, while the CW's Riverdale (0.3) had the only uptick of the night.
FINALS UPDATE: MasterChef Junior (0.8) and
The Flash (0.6) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- NBC flipped The Village (0.6) to 8/7c, while The Voice results show (0.9) went to 9/8c. This didn't change The Village and brought Voice down by another tenth, but NBC netted a win since it got New Amsterdam (0.8) to rise by two tenths at 10/9c.
- On ABC, Bless This Mess (0.7) dropped a couple tenths in week two, tying Black-ish (0.7) in the demo but still building from it by about 10% in total viewers. At 10/9c, new documentary series 1969 (0.4) was a big downgrade on previous occupant The Rookie. The night led off with steady American Housewife (0.8) and a Bless This Mess pilot encore (0.6).
- CBS snuck in some pre-sweeps repeats (0.7/0.6) and an original NCIS: New Orleans (0.6), Fox's unscripted (0.7/0.5) was even yet again, and the CW at least preliminarily got back to 0.3 for the season-maybe-series finale of Roswell, New Mexico.
FINALS UPDATE: Bull (R)
(0.4) and
Legends of Tomorrow (0.2) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- American Idol (0.9) finished its Monday run with a clip show, and The Fix held onto a 0.5 at 10/9c. Despite weaker ABC competition, NBC's The Voice (1.2) could not benefit, and The Enemy Within was stuck at 0.6 for a third straight week.
- CBS finished out season one of The Neighborhood (1.0), and it was steady but its lead-out Man with a Plan (0.7) took a dip. The Code preliminarily rallied to a 0.6 at 9/8c, and 9-1-1 (1.2) was also up on Fox. The Resident (0.8) and the CW's superhero duo (0.3/0.2) were even.
