Tuesday TV Ratings 2/22/22: To Tell The Truth Return Near Low, Jeopardy! National College Championship Hits High for Finale, Abbott Elementary Rebounds, This Is Us Down After Break (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The final installment of ABC's 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.79, +0.29) soared well above all previous outings and was the highest-rated telecast of the night. That strong lead-in seemed to help 'Abbott Elementary' (0.64, +0.23) climb all the way up to series high territory after hitting a new low just one week prior. 'Black-ish' (0.43, +0.13) was also able to bounce back, but 'To Tell the Truth' (0.31) had a pretty meager return in the 10PM timeslot. On NBC, sitcoms 'American Auto' (0.38, +0.01) and 'Grand Crew' (0.30, +0.02) enjoyed minor upticks, but dramas 'This Is Us' (0.73, -0.05) and 'New Amsterdam' (0.34, -0.03) dropped when compared to their last episodes. CBS's 'FBI' (0.61, -0.02), 'FBI: International' (0.53, -0.07), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.54, -0.01) all dipped for their first episodes in nearly a month, with 'International' dealing with the sharpest decline. On Fox, 'The Resident' (0.36, -0.06) and 'The Real Dirty Dancing' finale (0.19, -0.06) were down by six-hundredths apiece. The CW's 'Superman & Lois' (0.16, +0.01) gained a hundredth as 'Naomi' (0.09) held flat. 

Finals Update: 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (+0.1) and 'The Resident' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Friday TV Ratings 2/18/22: Winter Olympics Hit Another New Low, Celebrity Big Brother Steady, Jeopardy! National College Championship Ties Low (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The '2022 Winter Olympics' (1.08, -0.30) simply could not catch a break on NBC, this time barely keeping itself above a 1.0 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic. Over on the Fox network, 'WWE Smackdown' (0.54, -0.01) shed a hundredth and beat out another outing of ABC's 'Jeopardy! National College Championship (0.50, -0.11) head-on. After 'Jeopardy!', a rerun of '20/20' (0.46) was shockingly stout in the 9PM slot. On CBS, 'Celebrity Big Brother' (0.45, -0.09) was a tenth shy of Wednesday's installment and led into a rerun of 'Blue Bloods' (0.24). The CW aired encores of 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us' (0.06) and 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' (0.05/0.08).

Finals Update: '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.2), 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (+0.1), and the repeat of '20/20' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Thursday TV Ratings 2/17/22: Winter Olympics Tick Back Up, Jeopardy! National College Championship Also Rises, Call Me Kat Slips (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Though it remained a far cry from its 2018 levels, the '2022 Winter Olympics' (1.38, +0.20) gained two-tenths on NBC and outperformed Wednesday's unsettling low. ABC's 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.61, +0.09) grew by a tenth and led into low-rated encores of 'Grey's Anatomy' (0.24) and 'Big Sky' (0.15). On Fox, 'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer' (0.31, +0.05) was up by five-hundredths, but sitcoms 'Call Me Kat' (0.30, -0.05) and 'Pivoting' (0.18, -0.06) crumbled. CBS had reruns of 'Young Sheldon' (0.44), 'United States of Al' (0.35), 'Ghosts' (0.33), 'B Positive' (0.30), and 'Bull' (0.21). The CW aired encores of 'Walker' (0.07) and 'Legacies' (0.04). 

Finals Update: The '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Wednesday TV Ratings 2/16/22: Winter Olympics Hit New Low, The Amazing Race Drops, The Chase Ends Up (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Following a few days of stability, the '2022 Winter Olympics' (1.18, -0.36) collapsed on NBC, with the ceremony crashing to its weakest performance on record. On ABC, the 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.52, +0.03) recovered a bit and led into the season finale of 'The Chase' (0.37/0.31). The latter was up by a healthy amount from last week (0.34/0.27) in both hours. CBS's 'Celebrity Big Brother' (0.54, +0.13) was over a tenth higher than Monday night's episode but six-hundredths lower than the previous Wednesday (0.60). 'The Amazing Race' (0.47, -0.08) declined in the 9PM hour and was followed by an 'NCIS' encore (0.23). 'I Can See Your Voice' (0.36) was flat on Fox, but 'Next Level Chef' (0.40, -0.02) dealt with some minor slippage. The CW's rerun of 'Legends of Tomorrow' (0.09) was three-hundredths higher than last week's encore (0.06) while the 9PM repeat of 'Batwoman' (0.04) tied its week-ago delivery. 

Finals Update: The '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.1), 'The Chase' at 9 PM (+0.1), 'The Amazing Race' (+0.1), and 'I Can See Your Voice' (+0.1) adjusted up. 

Tuesday TV Ratings 2/15/22: Winter Olympics Ticks Up, Abbott Elementary Sinks, Queens Ends Down (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.49, -0.07) was back on ABC but slipped to its lowest rating yet. That trend continued as the evening progressed as promising sitcom 'Abbott Elementary' (0.41, -0.16) completely crashed after weeks of staying in the 0.6 range. Veteran comedy 'Black-ish' (0.30, -0.11) and the season finale of 'Queens' (0.20, -0.03) failed to buck the downward trend. On NBC, the '2022 Winter Olympics' (1.54, +0.07) rose by seven-hundredths and unsurprisingly topped all other offerings. Fox's 'The Resident' (0.42, -0.01) lost a hundredth while 'The Real Dirty Dancing' (0.25, +0.02) grew by two-hundredths. CBS went with reruns of 'FBI' (0.38), 'FBI: International' (0.31), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.25). The CW had encores of 'Superman & Lois' (0.07) and 'Naomi' (0.04).

Finals Update: The '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.1), 'The Real Dirty Dancing' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'FBI: Most Wanted' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Friday TV Ratings 2/11/22: Celebrity Big Brother and Jeopardy! National College Championship Give Back Gains, 2022 Winter Olympics Near Low (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Just one day after an impressive surge, the '2022 Winter Olympics' (1.57, -0.58) came crashing down on Friday evening. Though the NBC broadcast was still a full ratings point above its nearest competitor, this continues to be an unsatisfactory year for the event in terms of Nielsen data. On ABC, night four of the 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.56, -0.04) inched down a bit from the third installment and led into a surprisingly robust '20/20' (0.50). Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.55, +0.04) rose by four-hundredths and came within striking distance of ABC's 8PM offering. On CBS, 'Celebrity Big Brother' (0.42, -0.18) was well below Wednesday's episode but actually improved on the rating it posted the previous Friday (0.38). In contrast, the 10PM repeat of 'Blue Bloods' (0.26) was three-hundredths shy of the week prior. The CW had microscopic reruns of 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us' (0.05) and 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' (0.04/0.08). 

Finals Update: The '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.3), 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (+0.1), 'WWE SmackDown' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'Blue Bloods' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Thursday TV Ratings 2/10/22: Winter Olympics Climb Again, Jeopardy! National College Championship Also Rises, NFL Honors Modest (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The '2022 Winter Olympics' (2.15, +0.34) climbed to its highest rating yet and passed the 2.0 threshold for the second time, helping NBC win the night once more. The third outing of ABC's 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.60, +0.06) improved from Wednesday and led into an 'NFL Honors' broadcast (0.44) that was five-hundredths short of the 2021 telecast (0.49). On Fox, 'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer' (0.26, -0.06) crashed to a new low, but sitcoms 'Call Me Kat' (0.35, +0.03) and 'Pivoting' (0.24, +0.04) gained a few hundredths. CBS had reruns of 'Young Sheldon' (0.38), 'United States of Al' (0.27), 'Ghosts' (0.25), 'B Positive' (0.23), and 'Bull' (0.19), with each one posting a lower rating than the previous. Encores of 'Walker' (0.06) and 'Legacies' (0.04) made up the CW's lineup. 

Finals Update: '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.3), 'Call Me Kat' (+0.1), and repeats of 'Young Sheldon' (+0.1), 'United States of Al' (+0.1), and 'Ghosts' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Wednesday TV Ratings 2/9/22: Winter Olympics and Celebrity Big Brother Rise, Jeopardy! National College Championship and The Amazing Race Slip (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Night two of the 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.54, -0.10) was a tenth lower than Tuesday evening's outing and only managed to secure third place in the 8PM timeslot. ABC finished out the evening with two hours of 'The Chase' (0.34/0.27), with the second episode tying its season low. CBS's 'Celebrity Big Brother' (0.60, +0.18) climbed back up after a few rough nights but was still almost two-tenths lower than its week-ago premiere (0.78). 'The Amazing Race' (0.55, -0.09) lost a tenth at 9 and led into a rerun of 'NCIS' (0.25). The '2022 Winter Olympics' (1.81, +0.24) rose by two-tenths on NBC. 'I Can See Your Voice' (0.36, -0.02) and 'Next Level Chef' (0.42, -0.04) lost some steam on Fox. The CW had lifeless repeats of 'Legends of Tomorrow' (0.06) and 'Batwoman' (0.04). 

Finals Update: 'I Can See Your Voice' (+0.1), 'The Amazing Race' (+0.1), and the 10 PM episode of 'The Chase' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 2/8/22: Jeopardy! National College Championship Has Decent Start, Winter Olympics Slip Again, Abbott Elementary Ticks Down (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Hosted by Mayim Bialik, the first installment of the 'Jeopardy! National College Championship' (0.64) was the second-highest rated broadcast on Tuesday night and went a few hundredths higher than the week-ago 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.60). Though nowhere near the lofty heights that the 'Greatest of All Time' tournament (2.4) reached in 2020, this is still a satisfactory rating for the alphabet network. Later in the evening, 'Abbott Elementary' (0.57, -0.02), 'Black-ish' (0.41, -0.01), and 'Queens' (0.23, -0.07) all declined from their previous episodes. On NBC, the 'Winter Olympics' (1.57, -0.02) fell by just two-hundredths from Monday night. Fox's 'The Real Dirty Dancing' (0.23, +0.01) gained a hundredth from its rotten premiere as 'The Resident' (0.43, -0.04) lost a few ticks in the 8PM slot. CBS's annual 'Super Bowl Greatest Commercials' special (0.47) was almost two-tenths lower than its 2021 broadcast (0.63) and led into reruns of 'FBI' (0.33) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.35). The CW served up encores of 'Superman & Lois' (0.08) and 'Naomi' (0.04). 

Finals Update: '2022 Winter Olympics' (+0.1), 'Abbott Elementary' (+0.1), and 'Super Bowl Greatest Commercials' (+0.1) adjusted up.
