Ratings Analysis: Though there was no crossover event or A-list guest star to fuel the surge, CBS comedies 'Young Sheldon' (0.65, +0.17) and 'Ghosts' (0.64, +0.15) shot up to their highest ratings of the season. This made 'Sheldon' the top-rated program of the night altogether and put it on-par with its year-ago performance (0.65). The explosion in the 8PM hour helped 'So Help Me Todd' (0.38, +0.04) climb to a new high, but the growth was clearly nowhere near the level of the sitcoms. At 10, 'CSI: Vegas' (0.33, +0.01) also inched up to a season high. On ABC, 'Station 19' (0.53, +0.02) built on its premiere, but 'Grey's Anatomy' (0.53, -0.02) and 'Alaska Daily' (0.26, -0.06) slipped from their middling starts. 'Law & Order' (0.47, +0.03), 'Law & Order: SVU' (0.59, +0.03), and 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' (0.50, +0.09) all grew on NBC. Fox's 'Hell's Kitchen' (0.38, +0.02) and 'Welcome To Flatch' (0.19, +0.01) made minor gains, but 'Call Me Kat' (0.16, 0.00) was frozen at its series low. 'Walker' (0.07, -0.01) shed a hundredth on the CW while 'Walker: Independence' (0.05, 0.00) tied last week's launch.
Finals Update: 'Law & Order' (+0.1) adjusted up. 'Welcome to Flatch' (-0.1), 'Call Me Kat' (-0.1), 'Walker: Independence' (-0.1), and 'Hell's Kitchen' (-0.1) adjusted down.
