Sunday TV Ratings 9/15/24: Emmys Rise from Previous Ceremony, Universal Basic Guys Slides without NFL Help, Elsbeth Hits Series High for Repeat [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards (1.03) performed reasonably well on ABC, improving on January's ceremony (0.87) by 18% in the Adults 18-49 demographic. Earlier in the night, On the Red Carpet: Live at the Emmys (0.32) served as a prelude to the main event. On Fox, the ratings strength of Universal Basic Guys (0.19, -0.99) evaporated overnight. Guys declined nearly 84% from last week's NFL-inflated premiere and lost to the repeat of The Simpsons (0.21) that led into it. Later in the evening, Bob's Burgers (0.21, -0.34) and The Great North (0.15/0.13) also dropped. On NBC, the Bears/Texans NFL game (4.97) was down four-tenths from last week's Rams/Lions match-up (5.41). On CBS, 60 Minutes (1.49) enjoyed a nice NFL Overrun boost (7.33) on season premiere night. However, the boost was all gone by the time a repeat of Elsbeth (0.39) aired, meaning that Big Brother (0.55, -0.04) was actually down from last week. The Chosen (0.02, 0.00) held steady on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat. (P) = premiere. (F) = finale.
