Ratings Analysis: The first game of the 2021 World Series (2.52) rose by a tenth from 2020's opening game (2.4), elevating Fox to the top of the Tuesday-night landscape. Seemingly unfazed by the extra competition, NBC's 'The Voice' (0.77) gained a tenth after setting a new low last week. Dramas 'La Brea' (0.59, +0.04) and 'New Amsterdam' (0.37, +0.03) each picked up a couple hundredths, with this marking the first time that 'Brea' has risen in its run. Over on ABC, 'The Bachelorette' (0.71, -0.08) and 'Queens' (0.31, -0.05) forfeited a few hundredths from premieres that were already underwhelming. 'Stargirl' (0.14, +0.04) and 'Supergirl' (0.09, +0.01) were both on the rise on the CW. CBS was once again in repeat-mode, broadcasting encores of 'FBI' (0.44), 'FBI: International' (0.37), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.33).
Finals Update: Game 1 of the '2021 World Series' (+0.2), NBC's 'The Voice' (+0.1), 'The Bachelorette' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'FBI: International' (+0.1) adjusted up.
