Thursday TV Ratings 1/18/24: Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order Soar for Premieres, Organized Crime Returns Slightly Up, Press Your Luck Hits Season High (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: The scripted rollout continued on NBC, and the results mostly remained positive. Law & Order (0.48) and Law & Order: Organized Crime (0.46) were way down from their Sept. 2022 premieres (0.60/0.62) but a good bit above their May 2023 finales (0.34/0.41). SVU (0.62) was a lot healthier in the middle, down just seven-hundredths from Sept. 2022 (0.69) and almost two-tenths above its May 2023 closer (0.44). On ABC, Press Your Luck (0.43, +0.04) hit another season high after  setting one just last week and was followed by repeats of itself (0.31/0.23). Hell's Kitchen (0.41, 0.00) held flat on Fox, while Gordon Ramsay's Road Trip (0.18, +0.02) got a little less ugly in week two. CBS re-ran Young Sheldon (0.20), Ghosts (0.14), and SEAL Team (0.13/0.12). Son of a Critch (0.04) was stable on the CW, but repeats of The Conners (0.03/0.03) and Children Ruin Everything (0.02) were down.

Finals Update: Law & Order: Organized Crime (+0.1) adjusted up.

Thursday TV Ratings 1/11/24: Press Your Luck and Hell’s Kitchen Hit Season Highs, Gordon Ramsay’s Road Trip Weak (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: ABC's Press Your Luck (0.39, +0.13) soared to a new season high in its move from Tuesdays at 10 to Thursdays at 8, clearly showing just how important it is to air a family-friendly game show in an earlier time slot. On Fox, Hell's Kitchen (0.41, +0.04) also climbed to a season high and cleared the 0.4 mark for the first time this season. At 9, Gordon Ramsay's Road Trip (0.16) completely bombed despite having a fellow Ramsay show for a lead-in. NBC aired reruns of Law & Order (0.29), SVU (0.23), and Organized Crime (0.21). CBS re-ran Young Sheldon (0.22), Ghosts (0.17), and SEAL Team (0.14/0.12). On the CW, repeats of The Conners (0.05/0.05) performed marginally better than Son of a Critch (0.04) and Children Ruin Everything (0.04). 

Finals Update: All shows held at their preliminary rounded ratings.

Tuesday TV Ratings 12/14/21: The Voice Ends Steady, Grand Crew Weak in Hour-Long Preview, I Can See Your Voice Holiday Special Hits Low, FBIs Hit New Season Highs (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: NBC just couldn't seem to catch a break in the sitcom department as the series premiere of new comedy 'Grand Crew' (0.40/0.30) was only slightly stronger than the Monday-night launch of 'American Auto' (0.36/0.27). Like 'Auto', 'Crew' dropped by 25% between episodes and fell below the two-million mark in total viewers for its second installment. Though 'Grand Crew' did not have the luxury of being the direct lead-out to 'The Voice', this performance is still unsatisfactory and does not bode well for its future. At 9, the season finale of 'The Voice' (0.70, -0.04) lost four-hundredths but more than doubled the 8:30pm episode of 'Crew'. On CBS, 'FBI' (0.75, +0.13) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.69, +0.19) both shot up to new season highs, with 'FBI' managing to top the night altogether. An encore of 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.37) closed out a victorious evening for the eye network. ABC's 'The Bachelorette' (0.69, -0.04) picked up four-hundredths, but 'Queens' (0.24, -0.10) slipped to a series low. On Fox, a holiday edition of 'I Can See Your Voice' (0.33) was nearly 60% behind its previous low-point. After that disappointing return, 'Gordon Ramsay's Road Trip' (0.21) shed five-hundredths from Monday's outing. 'The Flash' (0.17) held even on The CW, but 'Riverdale' (0.06, -0.01) was down a tick. 

Finals Update: 'FBI' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Monday TV Ratings 12/13/21: American Auto Off to a Slow Start, The Voice Steady, NFL Monday Night Football Leads (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: NBC's new sitcom 'American Auto' (0.36/0.27) completely failed to move the needle for its hour-long debut. The comedy couldn't even retain half of 'The Voice' (0.73, +0.02) and dropped by 25% from its first episode at 10:30pm. It's safe to say that viewers are not interested in the peacock's network's latest sitcom effort. On the CW, 'All American' (0.24, +0.05) managed to climb to its highest rating of the season. '4400' (0.09, +0.01) inched up in the 9pm slot. Though his programs usually perform well for the network, Fox's 'Gordon Ramsay's Road Trip' (0.26) did not make any meaningful noise and fell behind CBS's encores of 'The Neighborhood' (0.41) and 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.33). The eye network followed those sitcom reruns with repeats of dramas 'NCIS' (0.27) and 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.24). ABC's broadcast of the 'Rams v. Cardinals' NFL game (1.86) gave the alphabet network an easy win. 

Finals Update: All shows held their preliminary ratings.
