Sunday TV Ratings 3/9/25: American Idol Returns Down, The Righteous Gemstones Stable for Final Season Premiere, Suits LA and Family Guy Slip Further [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: ABC's American Idol (0.45) was a tenth below last year's premiere (0.55) in the Adults 18-49 demographic, but the singing-competition staple was still the highest-rated non-sports broadcast on Sunday night. After Idol, The $100,000 Pyramid (0.24) made its return in middling fashion. Earlier in the night, America's Funniest Home Videos (0.43, +0.24) barreled past its last original. On NBC, The Americas (0.35, +0.05) and Grosse Pointe (0.12, +0.03) were up, but Suits LA (0.16, -0.01) dipped. 60 Minutes (0.30, -0.01) and Tracker (0.41, -0.02) cooled down on CBS, but Watson (0.27, +0.05) and The Equalizer (0.23, +0.02) increased in size. Fox's Family Guy (0.17, -0.02) and The Great North (0.12, -0.01) slipped, but Grimsburg (0.15, +0.01) was actually up a bit in-between. At 9:30, Krapopolis (0.11, 0.00) matched last week's rating. The CW aired the film Erin Brockovich (0.05). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.
