Tuesday TV Ratings 6/1/21: America’s Got Talent Returns Up from Finale, LEGO Masters Collapses without The Masked Singer, New Amsterdam and Mental Samurai Rise (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: NBC's 'America's Got Talent' (0.9) returned in decent shape, roughly on-par with its September finale (0.8/0.9) but still six-tenths below its May 2020 start (1.5). That stronger lead-in seemingly helped 'New Amsterdam' (0.5) rise to its highest rating since early March. On Fox, 'LEGO Masters' (0.4) floundered out the gate for its second season premiere. While it was off the air for over a year and no longer has the luxury of airing after peak 'Masked Singer', this result comes nearly 60% below its previous low (0.9). 'Masters' still grew two-tenths from the week-ago 'Game of Talents' finale, which meant that 'Mental Samurai' (0.3) was able to pick up a tenth at 9. ABC's Mike Tyson documentary (0.4) lost a tick from last week's performance and led into a rerun of 'To Tell the Truth' (0.4). CBS had 0.4s across the board with repeats of 'NCIS', 'FBI', and 'FBI: Most Wanted'. The CW's 'Superman & Lois' (0.1) shed a tenth behind a repeat of itself (0.1). 

Finals Update: 'America's Got Talent' (1.0, +0.1), 'LEGO Masters' (0.5, +0.1), and 'Mike Tyson: The Knockout' (0.5, +0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 5/25/21: This Is Us Ends Steady at 10 PM, FBI Down for Finale, Mental Samurai Abysmal (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: Tuesday night was filled with an odd mismatch of premieres and finales, as programs from the regular season continue to depart to make room for summer filler. NBC's 'The Voice' (0.7) got back a tenth on finale night, but 'This Is Us' couldn't rise for its closer, posting its fifth-straight 0.8 rating. 'This Is Us' was down more than 50% from the strong 1.7 it garnered for its previous season finale. Over on CBS, Monday-bound 'NCIS' (0.7) held even for its season finale and final Tuesday episode. Later in the night, 'FBI' (0.6) shed a tenth on finale night as 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.5) matched its last outing. ABC got decent mileage out of the first installment of a Mike Tyson documentary (0.5) and finished out the night with a poorly-rated George Floyd special (0.3). Fox had a particularly brutal evening as 'Game of Talents' (0.2) crashed to a new low for its finale, falling a whopping four-tenths without its usual 'Masked Singer' lead-in. The season two premiere of 'Mental Samurai' (0.2) failed to improve from there, going well below anything it posted in season one. On the CW, 'The Flash' (0.1) found itself in new-low territory while 'Superman & Lois' (0.2) rose by a tenth. 

Finals Update: The finale of 'The Voice' (0.8, +0.1) and the premiere of 'Mike Tyson: The Knockout' (0.6, +0.1) adjusted up.
