FINALS UPDATE: Black-ish (0.4), Big Sky (0.4), FBI (0.7), Young Rock (0.5) and New Amsterdam (0.4) adjusted up while The Flash (R) (0.1) and Supergirl (0.1) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The spring collapse of Big Sky (0.3) kept on rolling, with the show dropping once again following a very high 0.4 a week ago. At least in the rounded numbers, it didn't grow from Mixed-ish (0.3) this time, while Pooch Perfect (0.4) and Black-ish (0.3) tied their lows as well.
  

• ABC was far from the only network posting ugly results, as several other shows hit new prelim lows including CBS' NCIS (0.6) and NBC's Young Rock (0.4) and New Amsterdam (0.3). CBS' FBI (0.6) was also down to tie its low, though FBI: Most Wanted (0.6) held up fine at 10/9c.
  

• Fox was on the low end (but not new lows at least in the prelims) with The Resident (0.5) and Prodigal Son (0.3), and Supergirl actually upticked to a prelim 0.2 for the first time this season.

WHAT MATTERS:

• CBS' The Neighborhood was back down to a preliminary 0.6, Bob Hearts Abishola (0.5) and All Rise (0.4) matched last week's prelims and Bull (0.5) was up a notch. ABC's two-hour Sesame Street special (0.5/0.4) was below last week's American Idol, but The Good Doctor managed to hang onto 0.5 at 10/9c.

• 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).

• ABC mostly matched last week's prelims, but a notable exception was The Conners which tanked to a 0.4 at 9/8c. CBS had The Price Is Right (0.5) in the 8/7c hour, while the CW's Kung Fu managed a third straight 0.2 (though was down noticeably in total viewers from the first two weeks).

FINALS UPDATE: Kenan (0.4) and New Amsterdam (0.5) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Big Sky's spring slump continued in its return to the 10/9c hour (0.4), though it did edge its Mixed-ish (0.3) lead-in. Earlier in the night, Pooch Perfect (0.4) was flat and Black-ish (0.4) rebounded slightly from its low two weeks ago.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Fox's 9-1-1 (1.0) and 9-1-1: Lone Star (0.8) returned from over a month off and looked solid as usual, likely to end up close to the 1.07/0.89 from their last episodes in March.
  

• After American Idol topped The Voice a week ago, this week it was The Voice (0.8/0.9) surging back well ahead of Idol (0.6/0.5), though The Good Doctor (0.5) still topped Debris (0.4) in the 10/9c hour. 
  

• CBS' The Neighborhood (0.7) bounced back after last week's decline, while Bob Hearts Abishola (0.5) and the dramas (0.4/0.4) were even. The CW (0.2/0.1) also matched last week.
