Ratings Analysis: It was a sluggish start to the new year for Fox as Denis Leary sitcom Going Dutch (0.19) looked modest at best in its series debut. Earlier in the night, Hell's Kitchen (0.26, +0.02) was up in its return, and Animal Control (0.21) was actually on-par with last year's season premiere (0.21). On ABC, the latest incarnation of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (0.35) posted a fairly healthy rating for its premiere. From there, Only Murders in the Building (0.20/0.14/0.12) fell significantly behind last year's network television debut (0.32/0.25/0.22). CBS went with repeats of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (0.26), Ghosts (0.17), and Matlock (0.17/0.18). NBC aired encores of Law & Order (0.16), Law & Order: SVU (0.19), and Found (0.14). The CW re-aired more Police 24/7 (0.05/0.03). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.
