’Champions’ Canceled After One Season

NBC has canceled comedy Champions after a single season. The series was created by Mindy Kaling and Charlie Grandy. Anders Holm, Fortune Feimster, Andy Favreau, J.J. Totah, and Mouzam Makkar made up the main cast. During its eight-episode run, Champions averaged a pathetic 0.51 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic. This was a correct prediction by the TV Ratings Guide.

(R) = repeat

(P) = premiere

With the 2017-18 television season over, Friday ratings became an even larger eyesore. CBS's 'Celebrity Undercover Boss' (0.5) inched down from an already meager result. It led into repeats of 'Hawaii Five-0' (0.4) and 'Blue Bloods' (0.4). 

Despite being deceased, ABC's 'Quantico' (0.4) returned on a new night. It was steady with its final Thursday outing. It led into a low-rated repeat of 'Shark Tank' (0.4). At 10, '20/20' (0.6) surprisingly rose two-tenths from its last episode. 

NBC's 'Champions' (0.4/0.3) returned to television after being off the air for nearly a month. It was steady for its first episode but hit a new low at 8:30. 'Dateline' (0.7) picked up the pace at 9. The latter was the top program of the night.

FOX had the premiere of drama 'Phenoms' (0.2/0.2). It started at a ridiculously low number. Even for a repeat, this would be considered a disastrous number. 

The CW had 'My Last Days' (0.2) and a steady 'Life Sentence' (0.1).

Thursday TV Ratings 4/12/18: Mom & Life In Pieces Tick Up, Champions Down Without Will & Grace (UPDATED)

It was an interesting night across broadcast, with many shows experiencing changes to their ratings in some way last night. The only show to experience a multiple-tenth shift in the ratings was Life In Pieces, which not only worked its way out of fractionals, but went above-and-beyond and hit its highest result since early March with a two-tenth bounce. The show is steady year-to-year for just the second time this season, making this rebound all the more impressive. Its lead-in Mom was also up, gaining a tenth to a strong 1.4. It's still a bit below average, but it's definitely a strong result nevertheless. At 10, SWAT gained a tenth and managed to tie Scandal in the slot afted falling behind it last week. Kicking off the night, The Big Bang Theory fell a tenth while Young Sheldon was steady. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy slipped to a new low (tied with last week's preliminary low), while the other shows held steady. This was the penultimate episode of Scandal, and it really doesn't seem to be gaining any steam leading into its series finale. NBC's night was steady in the first and third hours, but the second hour dagged significantly with Will & Grace now airing repeats. Behind the 0.5 W&G repeat, Champions dipped to a horrific 0.4, something Great News only did during its December episodes that aired away from the rest of the lineup. Elsewhere, The CW lineup experienced gains in both hours, while Fox's Showtime at the Apollo was up.

Finals Update: The Big Bang Theory (+0.1), Superstore (+0.1), and Grey's Anatomy (+0.1) adjusted up.
