Tuesday TV Ratings 11/1/22: World Series Rises in Delayed Game 3, The Voice and La Brea Drop, Bachelor in Paradise Steady (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Game 3 of the 'World Series' (2.60) improved on game 2 (2.42) by nearly two-tenths and gave the Fox network a rare Tuesday night victory. 'The Voice' (0.56, -0.06) and 'La Brea' (0.32, -0.03) came crashing down on NBC while 'New Amsterdam' (0.29, +0.02) climbed higher in the 10PM hour. ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.49, 0.00) held even with Monday's installment as 'The Rookie: Feds' (0.25, +0.01) grew by a precious hundredth. 'The Winchesters' (0.11, +0.02) gained two ticks on the CW. 'Professionals' (0.05, 0.00) was flat at 9 and lost over half of the demo rating of its lead-in. CBS offered up reruns of 'FBI' (0.35), 'FBI: International' (0.30), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.27).

Finals Update: '2022 World Series Game 3' (+0.5) and 'The Voice' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 10/25/22: Bachelor in Paradise Tops the Night, The Resident Hits Season High for 100th Episode, The Rookie: Feds Back Down (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Fox drama 'The Resident' (0.38, +0.07) soared to a new season high for its 100th episode, but struggling freshman 'Monarch' (0.21, +0.01) only managed to gain a hundredth. On ABC, 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.63) was nearly a full tenth higher than last week (0.55), but that did not stop 'The Rookie: Feds' (0.24, -0.05) from sinking in the 10PM hour. 'The Voice' (0.62, +0.02) and 'La Brea' (0.35, +0.03) burned brighter on NBC while 'New Amsterdam' (0.27, -0.01) lost a tick. CBS's reruns of 'FBI' (0.41), 'FBI: International' (0.35), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.29) were strong enough to be competitive with the first-run broadcasts of the night. 'The Winchesters' (0.09, +0.02) and 'Professionals' (0.05, +0.01) grew on the CW.

Finals Update: 'The Resident' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 10/18/22: The Rookie: Feds and FBI: Most Wanted Rise, La Brea and The Winchesters Slide, The Voice Stable (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Despite the fact that ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.55) was unchanged when compared to last Tuesday, spinoff series 'The Rookie: Feds' (0.29, +0.06) was able to rise significantly for a crossover episode with its parent show. On NBC, 'The Voice' (0.60, 0.00) held even as 'La Brea' (0.32, -0.06) fell to another new low. This marks the third-straight week that 'La Brea' has declined, with each episode since its season premiere dropping by half a point or more in the Adults 18-49 demographic. Even as its lead-in crumbled, 10PM drama 'New Amsterdam' (0.28, +0.04) rose by four-hundredths. CBS's 'FBI' (0.53, -0.02) shed two-hundredths while 'FBI: International' (0.48, +0.08) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.48, +0.10) surged. Just a week after hitting a new season high, Fox drama 'The Resident' (0.31, -0.05) slipped to its lowest rating on record. 'Monarch' (0.20, -0.01) experienced a more subtle decline and avoided "new low" territory. New CW series 'The Winchesters' (0.07, -0.05) crashed in week two after starting out strong. 'Professionals' (0.04, -0.01) ticked down from a debut that was already rather weak. 

Finals Update: All shows held their preliminary ratings.

Tuesday TV Ratings 10/11/22: The Winchesters Starts Solid by CW Standards, The Voice Down, New Amsterdam and The Rookie: Feds Hit New Lows, Bachelor in Paradise Rises (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The CW's new drama 'The Winchesters' (0.12) posted a strong rating by the network's standards, especially since most CW shows cannot clear the 0.10 threshold in the current day. 'Winchesters' led into the lackluster launch of 'Professionals' (0.05). ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.55) was only a hundredth lower than the previous Tuesday, but 'The Rookie: Feds' (0.23, -0.07) suffered an even steeper decline in week three than it did in week two. NBC offerings 'The Voice' (0.60, -0.10), 'La Brea' (0.38, -0.06), and 'New Amsterdam' (0.24, -0.07) all crumbled when compared to their week-ago outings. 'FBI' (0.55, -0.02), 'FBI: International' (0.40, -0.06), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.38, -0.07) all took a hit on CBS. On Fox, 'The Resident' (0.36, +0.04) and 'Monarch' (0.21, +0.04) were each up by four-hundredths.

Finals Update: 'The Voice' (+0.1) and 'The Resident' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 10/4/22: La Brea, Bachelor in Paradise, The Rookie: Feds, and Monarch All Slip By Varying Amounts, FBI Rises (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.54, -0.02) dipped by two-hundredths from Monday's episode and led into the second installment of 'The Rooke: Feds' (0.30, -0.04). Though 'Feds' stayed pretty close to its premiere rating, the drama found itself in last place in the 10PM timeslot. On CBS, 'FBI' (0.57, +0.03) grew by three-hundredths while 'FBI: International' (0.46, -0.02) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.45, -0.02) shed two-hundredths each. NBC's 'The Voice' (0.70) was a hundredth lower than Monday's episode but a hundredth higher than it was last Tuesday. 'La Brea' (0.44, -0.05) and 'New Amsterdam' (0.31, -0.02) slipped in the back-half of the evening. Fox's 'The Resident' (0.32, -0.01) lost a hundredth and simultaneously fell to a new low. At 9, 'Monarch' (0.17, -0.07) collapsed to a new low despite pulling off an unprecedented rise the week prior. The CW had the meager season finales of 'Leonardo' (0.03, -0.01) and 'Devils' (0.03, 0.00). 

Finals Update: 'The Voice' (+0.1), 'FBI' (+0.1), and 'FBI: International' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 9/27/22: The Rookie: Feds Has Weak Start, La Brea Nears Low in Return, Bachelor in Paradise Premiere Hits New Low (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.65) debuted with a new series low and was just over 30% behind its August 2021 debut (0.93). At 10, spinoff series 'The Rookie: Feds' (0.34) outdid the return of 'The Rookie' itself (0.31) but barely retained half of its lead-in. Unless it manages to stabilize fast, the future is looking rather bleak for 'Feds'. On NBC, sophomore drama 'La Brea' (0.49) returned close to its delivery from late season one but managed to avoid hitting a new series low, something that almost seems like a feat in this day and age. 'The Voice' (0.69, -0.04) and 'New Amsterdam' (0.33, -0.06) dealt with medium-sized drops at 8 and 10 respectively. CBS drama 'FBI' (0.54, -0.10) lost a full tenth from its premiere while 'FBI: International' (0.48, -0.02) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.47, -0.04) dealt with more digestible declines. Fox's 'The Resident' (0.33, -0.02) shed two-hundredths from its week-ago start and tied its series low. At 9, struggling 'Monarch' (0.24, +0.03) somehow grew by three-hundredths and was the only show of the evening to rise on a week-to-week basis. The only issue here is that it was still the lowest-rated, non-CW program of the night. 'Leonardo' (0.04, -0.01) and 'Devils' (0.03, -0.01) lost a hundredth apiece on the CW. 

Finals Update: 'The Voice' (+0.1), 'La Brea' (+0.1), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Premiere Tuesday TV Ratings 9/20/22: FBI Shows Return Up from Finales, Monarch Abysmal, The Bachelorette Rises for Finale, The Resident Returns Steady (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Premiere night continued on as CBS rolled out the red carpet for the returns of 'FBI' (0.64), 'FBI: International' (0.50), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.51). All three dramas improved from their season finales that aired in spring 2022 (0.56/0.44/0.41), but the lineup noticeably trailed its Fall 2021 launch (0.72/0.59/0.66). On NBC, the Tuesday edition of 'The Voice' (0.73) and drama 'New Amsterdam' (0.39) both shed about 30% from their year-ago starts (1.09/0.54). After mustering up a football-boosted 0.91 for its series premiere, Fox drama 'Monarch' (0.21, -0.70) completely collapsed for its timeslot debut. In the 8PM slot, 'The Resident' (0.35) tied its May '22 finale but was 30% lower than its 2021 return (0.50). ABC staple 'The Bachelorette' (0.90, +0.01) picked up a hundredth for its season finale and topped the night effortlessly. 'Leonardo' (0.05, 0.00) and 'Devils' (0.04, 0.00) were both stable on the CW.

Finals Update: 'The Bachelorette' (+0.1) and 'The Resident' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 5/24/22: This Is Us Hits Highest Rating Since 2020 for Series Finale, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted End With New Lows, Name That Tune Up for Finale (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: NBC drama 'This Is Us' (1.27, +0.32) exploded to a mammoth rating for its series finale, closing out season six with its highest rating since November 2020. A scripted series clearing the 1.0 threshold without a sports lead-in has become increasingly rare, but 'This Is Us' has proved that this feat is still possible. Sitcom 'Young Rock' (0.43/0.45; +0.08/+0.02) and drama series 'New Amsterdam' (0.47, +0.09) sandwiched 'Us' and both experienced significant growth for their season finales. Airing after a rerun of 'FBI' (0.47), 'FBI: International' (0.44, -0.10) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.41, -0.07) both slipped to new series lows for their respective CBS finales. ABC's 'Holey Moley' (0.47, +0.11) rose by more than a tenth and climbed to a new season high. 'The Chase' (0.32, +0.05) grew by about half the amount that 'Moley' did and led into a rerun of 'Who Do You Believe?' (0.23) that was stronger than last week's original episode (0.18). Fox's 'Name That Tune' (0.32, +0.06) picked up six-hundredths for its finale and posted its highest rating in over a month. The CW had a pair of 'Superman & Lois' reruns (0.05/0.03).

Finals Update: 'This Is Us' (+0.1) and the repeat of 'FBI' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Monday TV Ratings 5/9/22: The Good Doctor Hits New Series Lows, New Amsterdam and Bob Hearts Abishola Tie Lows, American Song Contest Ends Up (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Although it grew from the middling broadcast of 2016 Disney film 'Moana' (0.33) that led into it, ABC's 'The Good Doctor' (0.35, -0.06) declined by six-hundredths from last week's episode and hit a new series low in the process. NBC's 'American Song Contest' (0.33, +0.05) gained five-hundredths for its season finale, but 'New Amsterdam' (0.26, -0.09) plummeted in the 10PM hour. CBS sitcoms 'The Neighborhood' (0.55, -0.07) and 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.44, -0.08) also plunged and led into reruns of 'NCIS' (0.30) and 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.25). Fox's '9-1-1' (0.70) held steady with last week's rating and topped the evening yet again. At 9, spinoff '9-1-1: Lone Star' (0.64, +0.13) bounced back by a remarkable amount and was the second highest-rated broadcast of the evening, only behind its parent program. 'All American' (0.11, -0.01) and 'All American: Homecoming' (0.08, -0.02) shed a hundredth and two-hundredths respectively on the CW.

Finals Update: 'New Amsterdam' (+0.1) adjusted up. 

Tuesday TV Ratings 5/3/22: Who Do You Believe? and The Chase Premiere Low, Holey Moley Up From Finale, This Is Us and Mr. Mayor Drop (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The inclusion of the Muppets did little to boost the season premiere of ABC's 'Holey Moley' (0.43), but the competition series was still able to best the last three episodes from the previous season. 'Moley' was about a tenth below its June 2021 debut (0.53/0.51). At 9PM, 'The Chase' (0.29, -0.02) dropped by two-hundredths from its February finale (0.31) while 'Who Do You Believe?' (0.25) bombed on series premiere night. NBC dealt with a smattering of declines as 'Young Rock' (0.34, -0.06), 'Mr. Mayor' (0.22, -0.09), 'This Is Us' (0.69, -0.15), and 'New Amsterdam' (0.35, -0.02) all went lower than last week. 'The Resident' (0.38, +0.01) and 'Name That Tune' (0.30, +0.02) ticked up on Fox. CW drama 'Superman & Lois' (0.16, -0.02) lost two-hundredths as 'Naomi' (0.08, +0.02) rose by that same amount. CBS aired encores of 'FBI' (0.41), 'FBI: International' (0.35), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.31). 

Finals Update: 'This Is Us' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 4/19/22: Blackish Down for Series Finale, FBI and Name That Tune Also Slide, This Is Us Easily Leads (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Despite lasting eight seasons, spawning two spinoff shows, and having a whopping 175 episodes under its belt, ABC sitcom 'Black-ish' (0.37, -0.06) went out with a whimper on series finale night. The Anthony Anderson comedy fell by six-hundredths when compared to the episode that aired the week prior and a retrospective special that came after (0.26) was nearly the lowest-rated broadcast on the big four networks. 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.40, -0.14) slid all the way down to series low territory at 8 while 'To Tell the Truth' (0.27, -0.04) shed four-hundredths in the 10PM hour. CBS also had nothing but declines as 'FBI' (0.56, -0.07), 'FBI: International' (0.53, -0.01), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.45, -0.06) all lost some ground. NBC's 'Young Rock' (0.32, -0.09) dropped by close to a full tenth but 'Mr. Mayor' (0.29, +0.01), 'This Is Us' (0.86, +0.09), and 'New Amsterdam' (0.36, +0.02) all bested their previous installments. Fox drama 'The Resident' (0.41) held even as 'Name That Tune' (0.25, -0.08) crashed to yet another new low. The CW's 'Superman & Lois' and 'Naomi' had matching 0.07s for their respective reruns. 

Finals Update: 'FBI' (+0.1), 'This Is Us' (+0.1), 'Blackish' (+0.1), and 'New Amsterdam' (+0.1) adjusted up.

New Amsterdam Ending with Season Five

Time of death: season five, as the doctors of New Amsterdam will no longer be residents of NBC's schedule. The medical drama will end its run after five seasons on the air during the upcoming 2022-23 TV season, the network has announced today. New Amsterdam debuted in 2018 with strong ratings before gradually looking less impressive in its cushy post-This Is Us time slot. The show remained an easy renewal for NBC, who picked the show up for a second season relatively quickly. During that second season, NBC gave the series a hefty three-season pickup, granting the series a third, fourth and fifth season. That fifth season, now confirmed to be its last, will run for thirteen episodes - the shortest season of the show. The decision to end the series comes amid a continued ratings drop, with the show averaging a 0.37 in the 18-49 demo during its current fourth season - the lowest of any returning NBC drama this season outside of The Blacklist. Ryan Eggold, Freema Agyeman, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Simms and Tyler Labine lead the cast of the show.

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.

Ratings Analysis: Even though 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.54, -0.10) lost a full tenth in the 8PM hour, ABC's 'Abbott Elementary' (0.58) held steady with its last installment and was the second highest-rated broadcast of the evening. 9:30PM sitcom 'Black-ish' (0.42, +0.02) gained two-hundredths and led into a 'Judge Steve Harvey' rerun (0.26). NBC's 'American Auto' (0.38) was flat with its week-ago episode, but 'Grand Crew' (0.31, -0.02) and 'This Is Us' (0.76, -0.03) dealt with minor declines. 10PM drama 'New Amsterdam' (0.37, +0.02) was up by two-hundredths from its previous telecast. Fox's 'Our Kind of People' (0.33, +0.11) picked up a tenth for its final episode of the season and led out of a rerun of '9-1-1: Lone Star' (0.30). CBS had sturdy repeats of 'FBI' (0.55), 'FBI: International' (0.45), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.44).

Tuesday TV Ratings 11/23/21: The Resident and Queens Hit New Series Lows, La Brea and The Flash Tie Lows (UPDATED)

Despite the slippage at 9, 'New Amsterdam' (0.39, +0.02) appeared unfazed and actually gained two-hundredths at 10. Over on ABC, 'The Bachelorette' (0.62, -0.07) lost seven-hundredths and 'Queens' (0.26, -0.02) ticked down to new series low. Fox's 'The Resident' (0.35, -0.10) forfeited a tenth and also found itself posting a new low.

CBS had reruns of 'FBI' (0.47), 'FBI: International' (0.38), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.36). On the CW, 'The Flash' (0.14, -0.09) fell by a tenth and 'Riverdale' (0.06, -0.05) shed nearly half of its week-ago rating.
