Ratings Analysis: Sophomore sitcoms 'Young Rock' (0.43) and 'Mr. Mayor' (0.35) returned with a whimper on the NBC network. Though these two comfortably outpaced what 'American Auto' (0.33) and 'Grand Crew' (0.28) garnered last week, they began below even their lowest-rated episodes from season one. 'This Is Us' (0.68, +0.01) picked up a hundredth at 9 as 'The Thing About Pam' (0.31, -0.09) had a sizable decline in week two. ABC's 'The Bachelor' (1.09, -0.02) lost two-hundredths for its season finale but remained well above the first ten episodes of its season. Repeats of recently-renewed 'Abbott Elementary' (0.35/0.25) took over the 10PM timeslot. CBS's reruns of 'FBI' (0.40), 'FBI: International' (0.37), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.33) were a clear step above Fox's encores of 'The Resident' (0.25) and 'The Masked Singer' (0.24). The CW went with feeble repeats of 'Superman & Lois' (0.06) and 'Naomi' (0.03).
Finals Update: 'The Bachelor' (+0.1), 'This Is Us' (+0.1), 'Mr. Mayor' (+0.1), and repeats of 'The Resident' (+0.1), FBI: International (+0.1), and 'Abbott Elementary' (+0.1) adjusted up.
