Thursday was the calm before the storm, with only a few original shows and low-ones being more than enough to top the night. Fox had their debuts on pre-premiere week, and their only real completion for #1 on the night was from CBS. In the end, Fox won the night with CBS taking second and NBC third. Fox's season debut of Gotham went OK, with a 1.0 debut for its first-ever Thursday episode. The show's down a lot from the last debut, but that's to be expected with this move and a 1.0 is perfectly fine for Fox. How it will hold up next week is the real question, same for the Orville. Speaking of the Orville, it debuted in its timeslot with a 1.1, which is okay but a huge drop from its NFL-fueled series debut and second episode. It's a pretty disappointing number, but it still stands a good shot at renewal if it stays in the 0.8-1.0 range. CBS had strong repeats of The Big Bang Theory and Mom for the 8 and 9 hours, and an anemic finale for Zoo at 0.5. NBC had a American Ninja Warrior repeat at 0.9, with a Chicago Fire repeat at 0.6. The CW's Penn & Teller and Whose Line? were both at 0.4.
Finals Update: The 9 PM repeat of the Big Bang Theory (+0.1) adjusted up. NBC's American Ninja Warrior repeat (-0.1) adjusted down.
