Premiere Monday TV Ratings 9/25/23: The Irrational and Kitchen Nightmares Have Decent Starts, The Voice Slightly Down from Spring Premiere (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: NBC drama 'The Irrational' (0.34) got off to a passable start on series debut night, retaining more than half of 'The Voice' (0.60) on this first evening. 'The Voice' itself was about a tenth lower than its spring premiere (0.69) but remained in solid shape nonetheless. On Fox, 'Kitchen Nightmares' (0.35) and 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' (0.33) both looked quite solid for their premieres. 'Special Forces' in particular was up by two-hundredths from its March finale (0.31). On ABC, the 'Eagles v. Buccaneers' NFL game (3.88) was about three-tenths lower than last week's 'Brown v. Steelers' (4.16). On the CW, 'Son of a Critch' (0.06, +0.02) grew, 'Run the Burbs' (0.03, -0.01) dipped, and 'Children Ruin Everything' (0.03, 0.00) held steady. The 9:30 p.m. 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' rerun (0.03) was on par with 'Burbs' and 'Children'. CBS re-ran 'NCIS' (0.22/0.18/0.18).

Finals Update: 'Sportscenter' (+0.3) and 'NFL: Eagles v. Buccaneers' (+1.1) adjusted up. 'The Voice' (-0.1) and 'The Irrational' (-0.1) adjusted down.
