Finals: Monday night's final ratings were mostly bad news, but there was some good. The Big Bang Theory adjusted up a tenth to 3.5, making it even with last week, and The Voice also adjusted up a tenth, to 3.0. Meanwhile, both new shows that premiered last night adjusted down a tenth, Timeless to 1.8, and Conviction to 0.9, giving them both even less impressive starts. CBS's other programs adjusted down due to a football pre-emption, Kevin Can Wait adjusting down two tenths to a 2.2, making it an even larger fall from last week, and Scorpion down three tenths to 1.5, making it a tenth lower than its season finale and tying its series low. Finally, the CW's Supergirl reruns adjusted down, both earning 0.2s in the finals. The table reflects the changes, while the analysis below remains unchanged.
