CBS was in rerun mode with 'The Neighborhood' (0.3), 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.2), 'NCIS' (0.2), and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (0.2). On the CW, 'The Republic of Sarah' (0.0) bowed out with zero fanfare for its series finale. 'Roswell, New Mexico' (0.1) was steady in the 8pm slot.

The Republic of Sarah Canceled by The CW

The Republic of Sarah is going where few CW shows go: the TV graveyard. The political drama series has been canceled by The CW, as confirmed by one of the show's stars, Luke Mitchell. Though it has an excuse of airing fully in the summer, the show has been the lowest-rated show on The CW this season with a 0.05 average, tied with Dynasty. It was one of four new series picks up by the network this season and the only one to not premiere in-season, a sign that it was a low-priority show for the CW all along. Its series finale will air next week. Sarah Baker, Hope Lauren, Nia Holloway, Ian Duff, Forrest Goodluck, Landry Bender, Megan Follows and Izabella Alvarez also star in the series alongside Mitchell. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Monday TV Ratings 8/30/21: Duncanville Ends Steady while HouseBroken Finale Rises, Bachelor in Paradise Slips but Stays #1 (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Monday night champion 'Bachelor in Paradise' (0.91) extended its reign but lost a tenth when compared to last week's episode. ABC followed that up with another awful showing from 'The Ultimate Surfer' (0.30). Though 'Surfer' only lost four hundredths on a week-to-week basis, it continued to retain less than a third of its lead-in. It was season finale night over on Fox as struggling animated sitcoms 'HouseBroken' (0.24) and 'Duncanville' (0.19) bowed out with relative stability. At 8, 'Hell's Kitchen' (0.61) remained at a 0.6 rating. NBC's 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.54) picked up a tenth while 'The Wall' (0.42) held steady. On the CW, 'Roswell, New Mexico' (0.09) and 'Republic of Sarah' (0.04) gained one-hundredth apiece. Amidst all the originals, CBS was entirely in repeat-mode (0.37/0.30/0.28/0.25/0.23). 

Finals Update: The 'HouseBroken' finale (-0.1) adjusted down.
