The Endgame Canceled After One Season

The Endgame has reached its end, as NBC has canceled the series after just one season. The show debuted to decent ratings in late February, but quickly dropped in the coming weeks and ultimately became NBC's lowest-rated show with just a 0.27 seasonal average. The show was part of a disastrous Monday night spring lineup with American Song Contest, a lineup that consistently saw NBC rank last among the Big Four networks on the night. It becomes one in a long line of Monday at 10 drama flops on NBC, and the second this season, following the previously-canceled Ordinary Joe. Morena Baccarin, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Costa Ronin and Mark Damon Espinoza starred in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Monday TV Ratings 5/2/22: American Idol Slips for Reunion Special, NCIS and Bob Hearts Abishola Rise, Shark Tank Slightly Up on Special Night, 9-1-1 Leads (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: ABC's 'American Idol: The Great Idol Reunion' special (0.68) was four-hundredths lower than last Monday's 'Idol' and failed to top the evening like it often does. An out-of-timeslot 'Shark Tank' (0.53) and rising 'Good Doctor' (0.41, +0.02) filled out the remainder of the night for the alphabet network. CBS saw major improvements as 'NCIS' (0.55, +0.12) and 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.52, +0.08) posted strong gains while 'The Neighborhood' (0.62, +0.03) and 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.43, +0.04) grew at more modest rates. 'American Song Contest' (0.28, +0.01) picked up a hundredth on NBC as 'The Endgame' (0.20, -0.04) slipped for its finale. Fox's '9-1-1' (0.70, +0.02) rose by two-hundredths and was also the highest-rated program of the night. Despite that rise, '9-1-1: Lone Star' (0.51, -0.11) dropped by more than a full tenth. On the CW, 'All American' (0.12, -0.02) shed two-hundredths as 'All American: Homecoming' (0.10) tied its week-ago delivery. 

Finals Update: 'American Idol: The Great Idol Reunion' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Monday TV Ratings 4/25/22: 9-1-1: Lone Star and American Idol Rise, 9-1-1 Stable, The Price Is Right At Night Solid

Ratings Analysis: ABC's 'American Idol' (0.72, +0.10) grew by a full tenth when stacked up against last Monday and managed to top the evening. That strong lead-in was essentially wasted on a 10PM rerun of 'The Good Doctor' (0.22). Fox drama '9-1-1' (0.68) tied its last outing as '9-1-1: Lone Star' (0.62, +0.04) gained four-hundredths. CBS's 'The Price Is Right At Night' (0.61, +0.08) was up by eight-hundredths from the installment that aired on Valentine's Day (0.53) and led into encores of 'NCIS' (0.31) and 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.25). 'American Song Contest' (0.27) didn't budge on NBC, but 'The Endgame' (0.24, +0.06) picked up six-hundredths. 'All American' (0.14, +0.01) and 'All American: Homecoming' (0.10, +0.01) each rose by a hundredth on the CW. 

Finals Update: 'American Idol' (+0.1), '9-1-1' (+0.1), and the rerun of 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (+0.1) adjusted up.
