The only new live-action comedy on Fox this season, Outmatched, will be one-and-done. The sitcom debuted January 23 to modest numbers, but solid retention from Last Man Standing. It dropped in subsequent weeks and averaged 0.56 in the end, well below the 2019-20 league average, and enough for Fox to pull the plug after a single season. It is the second new sitcom in a row to be canceled after one season after airing behind Last Man Standing. Maggie Lawson, Jason Biggs, Tisha Campbell, Finesse Mitchell and Ashley Bottcher stared in the series, about two parents in Atlantic City raising children who are geniuses. The series finale aired March 26. This was a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Thursday TV Ratings 3/26/20: A Million Little Things, Outmatched and Deputy All Steady for Finales, SVU Returns Higher (UPDATED)
Thursday TV Ratings 3/19/20: Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Grey’s Anatomy Tie Season Highs, Station 19, Superstore and Will & Grace Make New Season Highs (UPDATED)
ABC saw perhaps the most impressive gains, with Grey's Anatomy nearing megahit numbers at 9 with a 1.5, up three tenths and hitting its highest rating since September. Grey's is down a pretty large amount this season, but this is its most impressive year-to-year trend, down only 4%. Station 19 was also pretty impressive, gaining two tenths a tying its series high from October 2018. The show has had a massive ratings renaissance this year, up 8%, and this episode is up an astonishing 69% from the year-ago rating. At 10, it was a less impressive result for A Million Little Things, up only a tenth despite the heavily-increased lead-in, with a rating in-line with its season average but far worse retention than usual.
NBC also had some impressive ratings feats. Superstore returned from a hiatus up three tenths, a tenth ahead of its season-high and up a notch from last year's rating. Behind it, Brooklyn Nine-Nine rose another tenth, tying its season high. It doesn't look as impressive considering that it had been on the rise in prior weeks behind Superstore repeats, but it's still doing a lot better now than it was earlier in the season. Will & Grace easily hit a new season-high, up two tenths from both its last episode and its season high. This hasn't been an impressive final season for Will & Grace ratings-wise, but this week's rating is up 19% from last season, its first time not posting a double-digit loss. Indebted gained a tenth at 9:30, hitting a new series high. A coronavirus-related special at 10 posted a strong 0.9, ahead of anything SVU has done all season but two tenths shy of the 20/20 coronavirus special earlier this week.
Fox's gains weren't quite as noticeable. Last Man Standing was up two tenths from its series low to a 0.8, ahead of its season average. Outmatched was only up a tenth behind it, and Deputy was also up a tenth. Neither one of their gains is terribly strong, but their ratings last night are both ahead of their season averages, just like Last Man Standing.
The CW's Katy Keene and Legacies both held steady, with Katy Keene losing to repeats that aired earlier in the week.
CBS had repeats at 0.8/0.7/0.7/0.5/0.4, with Tommy's repeat notably tying the rating for its series premiere.
Finals Update: Last Man Standing (+0.1) and the Bob Hearts Abishola repeat (+0.1) adjusted up. Repeats of Young Sheldon (-0.1) and Mom (-0.1) adjusted down.

Thursday TV Ratings 3/5/20: Grey’s Anatomy Gets a Bump for Major Episode, Young Sheldon Fractional, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Will & Grace Rise
Last night was a big night for Grey's Anatomy, which bid adieu to original cast member Justin Chambers' character Alex Karev after sixteen seasons. The episode was promoted more than usual and say a significant boost in interest, up two tenths over the previous episode. That wasn't enough to help out lead-out A Million Little Things, which held onto its series low despite that higher lead-in. It also didn't help lead-in Station 19 hold onto its 1.1 from last week's crossover. All three shows remained the leaders in their timeslots this week, with AMLT claiming sole possession of #1 at 10 PM.
CBS sitcoms returned from a week off, mostly steady. The one notable exception was Young Sheldon. Previously the only currently-running broadcast comedy to never dip below 1.0, the show did just that this week. It previously went fractional in preliminary ratings in October before adjusting up to 1.0. At 10, Tommy held onto last week's bounce with its second-straight 0.5
NBC lost its lead-out comedy Superstore and its 10 o'clock drama Law & Order SVU this week, putting them on repeats necessary to stretch their seasons out, but they still saw upticks for two thirds of their original lineup. Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the exiting Will & Grace both recovered a bit from last week's lows, with Nine-Nine now tying The Unicorn to become the #1 comedy in its slot. At 9:30, Indebted dropped to its previous ugly low of 0.3, going from 100% retention to 60% in just a week.
On Fox, leading comedy Last Man Standing took another tumble to 0.6, continuing what has been a middling season for the show in the ratings department. Outmatched stayed steady at an okay 0.5, while Deputy dropped behind it to a 0.5, dropping to 0.4 in one half-hour. On a network as packed as Fox, these numbers aren't great, but these ratings aren't that much different than the rest of the shows on the network.
The CW continued to air their Katy Keene/Legacies (R) lineup to no success whatsoever.
Final numbers to come.
