Hulu:
The competition continues to increase, but High Potential's potential remains high. The ABC procedural was #1 four times this week on Hulu, staving off competition from two strong new Hulu series. It was also the only show to stay in the top five for the entire week. No other series was #1 for more than a day. New crime docuseries Death in Apartment 603, new Glen Powell comedy Chad Powers, and ABC's 20/20 all had a day at #1 before slipping down the list. The two new Hulu programs weren't the only new entries on the chart this week. ABC had several premieres this week, with Abbott Elementary being the most notable. The series peaked at #3 on the chart this week. Shifting Gears also debuted this week, peaking at #5. Fellow Wednesday night series The Golden Bachelor took a tumble on streaming this week to match its drop in the linear ratings, peaking at #6 after reaching #1 last week. To its credit, the ABC dating series did manage to chart for the entire week. The same could not be said for Shark Tank or Celebrity Wheel of Fortune - neither of them could chart for even a single day. Dancing with the Stars also charted the whole week, peaking at #2 and never leaving the top ten. General Hospital has taken a major hit with the introduction of serious network competition, charting four days this week and peaking at #3, its worst showing in several months. Nothing on Fox hit #1 this week, but they still had several strong performers. Doc peaked highest of all, at #3. The medical drama also charted the entire week, and was the only Fox series to do so. Bob's Burgers and Special Forces both peaked at #4 on the chart, and both charted four days in all. Bob's Burgers was the only Fox cartoon to chart this week, with The Simpsons, Universal Basic Guys and Krapopolis all failing to chart once. Hell's Kitchen charted three days and peaked at #7 as it continued to underperform its Thursday night lead-out on the Hulu charts. Celebrity Weakest Link dropped again from last week, this time charting only one day at #15. Its lead-in, Name That Tune, did not chart. Murder in a Small Town only charted two days this week, peaking at #9. The Floor charted four days and peaked at #11, while 99 to Beat charted one day at #14. Project Runway and Alien: Earth both departed the charts midway through the week, after wrapping their seasons last week. Hulu original Reasonable Doubt continued to perform reasonably well, peaking at #2 and charting all week, only once slipping below tenth on the chart. Only Murders in the Building also peaked at #2, hitting #8 at its worst point. FX's The Lowdown peaked at #6 this week, charting five days.
Disney+:
Disney+ separating their TV and film charts proved to be a short-lived endeavor, and as such, it was a pretty movie-centric chart again this week. Pixar's Elio was #1 for the first four days of the week, though it vanished fro the chart entirely after that. Hocus Pocus 2 closed out the week at #1, having spent the entire week on the top ten as the Halloween season gets into full swing. Halloween majorly impacted the chart last year as well, and it seems that viewers are already ready for spooky season, as both Haunted Mansion films, Halloweentown II, Hotel Transylvania and Twilight also cracked the chart this week. Several TV series also charted this week, with Hulu comedy Chad Powers being the only one to top the chart. Marvel Zombies spent the whole week in the top three, switching back and forth between second and third place on the chart. Alien: Earth left the chart three days into the week, having completed its run on FX the week before. The Lowdown charted two days this week, and did not return to the chart after a new episode was released. High Potential charted one day at #6. Shifting Gears charted twice, peaking at #7. That's a much weaker start than it had in its first season, but an improvement on its performances from the end of the first season. Hulu crime documentary Death in Apartment 603 charted three days, peaking at #4 on the chart.
Peacock:
With the return of most of NBC's fall programs, Peacock has transitioned from Bravo+ back to being Dick Wolf+. The top show on Peacock this week was Law & Order: SVU, which was #1 three times this week (a fairly underwhelming start, at least compared to its performances last season) and #2 the rest of the week. Wolf's other series were also near the top of the chart, with Chicago PD being the best performer among his non-SVU offerings. It peaked at #3 this week, having debuted at #5 after only being available on Peacock for a partial day. Chicago Fire was always just behind it, while Chicago Med peaked at #5 this week. Law & Order peaked at #3 at the beginning of the week, charting six days in all. Brilliant Minds has already declined a bit in its second week, charting six days and peaking at #5 (last week's peak was #4, and it charted every day after its premiere). The Voice charted five days this week, peaking at #4 for three days straight. Like Brilliant Minds, that was a mild decline from last week. Dateline NBC charted four days this week, peaking at #4. On Brand with Jimmy Fallon was the only series on NBC to air this week and not make the chart. Like SVU, Love Island Games was also #1 three days this week, though it slipped to third on one occasion. While Bravo has taken a hit with increased competition from NBC series, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City managed to make it to #1 once this week, and charted the whole week. Housewives series set in Orange County and Miami weren't as strong, charting five days and one day, respectively. Below Deck Mediterranean was the only non-Housewives Bravo series to chart this week. The Paper returned to the chart at the start of the week, surged to #3 the next day, and then left the chart again after that. The Rainmaker charted only two days this week, peaking at #9.

Paramount+:
South Park remained the top draw on Paramount+ this week, even without airing a new episode, but Tulsa King is starting to catch up. Sylvester Stallone's Paramount+ original improved in week two, topping the chart three days this week and never dropping below #2 on the chart. Its opening week had already been very impressive, and this further cements it as a top draw for Paramount+. Their other original, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, looked significantly better this week. It peaked at #3 after peaking at #6 the week before, and charted the entire week. Also charting all week was Big Brother, which ended its 27th season this week. It also peaked at #3 on the chart, though it was down to #10 be week's end, so CBS's sole summer hit will soon vanish from the charts until next summer. CBS has premiered very little of its fall lineup, but the two shows that have premiered both charted. Survivor charted all week and peaked at #6, while The Amazing Race charted one day at #10. Other shows charting for most of this week included NCIS, Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds and Dexter.
Note: As with Peacock, Paramount+'s top 10 chart updates throughout the day. For consistency, all data collection is done daily at 2 PM.
HBO Max:
The top of HBO Max's chart looked the same as the last several weeks, as Task was #1 for four days and Peacemaker was #1 for three days. The streamer's current scripted tentpoles were consistently the top two series this week, with only one other series out-charting either of them at any point in this week. That series was Last Week Tonight, which managed to peak at #2 on Tuesday, beating out Peacemaker that day. It remained in the top five for the remainder of the week. Real Time with Bill Maher charted four days this week, peaking at #3 on the chart at both the beginning and end of the week. HBO Max's Emmy-winning hit The Pitt started the week at #4, but it wasn't nearly as stable this week as it was the last few weeks. It dropped with each passing day, and by Thursday, it was off the chart entirely. Rick & Morty also departed the HBO Max chart this week after being a consistent presence on the chart for the last month or so. CW's Good Cop/Bad Cop was added to HBO Max this week, and charted a single day at #10. That's significantly worse than Sherlock & Daughter performed when it debuted on Max. Halloween Baking Championship became the rare Food Network series to spend the entire week on the chart, peaking at #5 and slipping as low as #9 - an improvement on last week. Halloween Wars charted one day at #10. Several other unscripted cable series also performed well on the chart this week, including Welcome to Plathville, The Friday the 13th Murders, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, and Sister Wives.
