Monday TV Ratings 9/18/23: Academy of Country Music Honors Weak, American Ninja Warrior Special Decent, NFL Jumps (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The 'Browns v. Steelers' NFL game (4.16) impressed on ABC by going more than a full point higher than the week-ago 'Bills v. Jets' match-up (2.41) in the Adults 18-49 demographic. On NBC, an 'American Ninja Warrior: Couple's Special' (0.27) was four-hundredths lower than last week's 'Warrior' finale but still topped all non-football offerings. The 10 p.m. hour was occupied by a rerun of 'Weakest Link' (0.16). Fox's broadcast of the 'Academy of Country Music Honors' (0.15) attracted very little fanfare. 'Son of a Critch' (0.04, -0.01) and 'Children Ruin Everything' (0.03, -0.02) slipped on the CW, but 'Run the Burbs' (0.04, +0.02) grew by two-hundredths. The 9:30 p.m. 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' repeat (0.03) was a hundredth short of last week's. CBS went with more encores of 'The Neighborhood' (0.25), 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.19), 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.13), and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (0.12).

Finals Update: 'NFL: Browns v. Steelers' (+1.1) adjusted up.
