Saturday TV Ratings 1/18/25: Commanders/Lions NFL Playoff Game Massive, Saturday Night Live Rises, My Argentine Heart Modest on Hallmark [+ Analysis]


Ratings Analysis: Fox got a monstrous 8.67 rating out of their Commanders v. Lions NFL broadcast, which was enough to beat the combined Adults 18-49 rating of all other Saturday night competitors. On ABC, reruns of Shifting Gears (0.58/0.30) had some football inflation baked in, but the boost was largely gone by the time repeats of High Potential (0.17/0.14) aired. Over on NBC, Saturday Night Live (0.76, +0.06) climbed higher in its 2025 return with host Dave Chappelle. 48 Hours (0.12, -0.14) collapsed on CBS. A rerun of I Am JFK Jr. (0.04) was viewed by few on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat.
