Ratings Analysis: Despite lasting eight seasons, spawning two spinoff shows, and having a whopping 175 episodes under its belt, ABC sitcom 'Black-ish' (0.37, -0.06) went out with a whimper on series finale night. The Anthony Anderson comedy fell by six-hundredths when compared to the episode that aired the week prior and a retrospective special that came after (0.26) was nearly the lowest-rated broadcast on the big four networks. 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.40, -0.14) slid all the way down to series low territory at 8 while 'To Tell the Truth' (0.27, -0.04) shed four-hundredths in the 10PM hour. CBS also had nothing but declines as 'FBI' (0.56, -0.07), 'FBI: International' (0.53, -0.01), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.45, -0.06) all lost some ground. NBC's 'Young Rock' (0.32, -0.09) dropped by close to a full tenth but 'Mr. Mayor' (0.29, +0.01), 'This Is Us' (0.86, +0.09), and 'New Amsterdam' (0.36, +0.02) all bested their previous installments. Fox drama 'The Resident' (0.41) held even as 'Name That Tune' (0.25, -0.08) crashed to yet another new low. The CW's 'Superman & Lois' and 'Naomi' had matching 0.07s for their respective reruns.
