Monday TV Ratings 1/12/26: St. Denis Medical Slides to Season Low, Texans/Steelers NFL Playoff Game Dominates, Brilliant Minds Hits New Series Low [+ Analysis]

Just one week after it rose to a new season high, NBC comedy St. Denis Medical (0.24, -0.13) came crashing down, now at a tie with its previously set season low! The Wall (0.12, -0.07) also took a sizable step down, and Brilliant Minds (0.10, -0.01) dropped to a new series low at ten. The NBC declines could potentially be blamed on ABC's dominance, as the latter aired a mammoth NFL playoffs game (2.84). CBS aired repeats of The Neighborhood (0.17), DMV (0.15), FBI (0.14), and NCIS: Origins (0.12). Fox aired reruns of Best Medicine (0.14) and Doc (0.07). The CW matched the Doc rerun in the demo with an 8 p.m. encore of Penn & Teller: Fool Us (0.07). Key: (R) = repeat.
