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.

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.

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.

Ratings Analysis: On the first day of February, Fox's 'The Resident' (0.47, +0.07) proved that it still has some life in it by rising seven-hundredths for its midseason return. In sharp contrast, new reality series 'The Real Dirty Dancing' (0.22) was lifeless on arrival and lost over half of its 'Resident' lead-in. NBC drama 'This Is Us' (0.78, +0.02) ticked up while 'The Wall' (0.28) underwhelmed for a special 10PM episode. In the 8PM hour, sitcoms 'American Auto' (0.37, -0.01) and 'Grand Crew' (0.28, -0.03) inched down. On ABC, 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.60, +0.06) and 'Abbott Elementary' (0.59, +0.01) rose for the first time in nearly a month as 'Black-ish' (0.42) tied what it garnered the week prior. 10PM reruns of 'Abbott Elementary' (0.27) and 'Black-ish' (0.24) were on-par with the week-ago 'Judge Steve' encore (0.26). CBS's 'FBI' (0.63, -0.12) crumbled after a three-week break but remained #1 in the 8PM timeslot. 'FBI: International' (0.60, +0.05) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.55, +0.05) gained five-hundredths apiece.
