Thursday TV Ratings 9/24/26: Tepid Start for American Horror Story 13, The Traitors: New Blood Dips, Big Brother Rises [+ Analysis]

On NBC, The Traitors: New Blood (0.26, -0.02) dipped, and the sinking continued at nine (0.24, -0.02). CBS's Big Brother (0.68) easily rose above Wednesday's installment but was down from last week.

Thursday TV Ratings 1/22/26: Hell’s Kitchen Surges for Finale, Animal Control and Going Dutch Also Rise, 9-1-1 and The Hunting Party Drop [+ Analysis]

Fox staple Hell's Kitchen (0.30, +0.06) ended its season with a surge, but it was the struggling Going Dutch (0.17, +0.07) that posted the largest week-to-week gain of the three shows in the network's Thursday night lineup. Animal Control (0.20, +0.05) was also up markedly in the midst. In ABC land, 9-1-1 (0.30, -0.07) crumbled, 9-1-1: Nashville (0.24, -0.01) inched down, and the long-running Grey's Anatomy (0.18, +0.01) ticked up. Law & Order (0.28, -0.01) and The Hunting Party (0.15, -0.02) dipped on NBC, but Law & Order: SVU (0.32, +0.02) rose slightly. CBS aired more encores of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (0.25), Ghosts (0.17), and Matlock (0.12/0.08). The CW aired the premieres of Scrabble (0.05) and Trivial Pursuit (0.06). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat. (F) = finale. 

Thursday TV Ratings 1/15/26: Going Dutch Hits New Series Low in Return, 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville Rebound, The Hunting Party Rises in Week Two [+ Analysis]

Fox sitcom Going Dutch (0.10) returned for season two in poor shape, setting a new series low out the gate. Earlier in the night, Animal Control (0.15, -1.05) was, unsurprisingly, way down from its football boosted premiere, while Hell's Kitchen (0.24, +0.03) grew slightly at eight. Over on ABC, dramas 9-1-1 (0.37, +0.06), 9-1-1: Nashville (0.25, +0.07), and Grey's Anatomy (0.17, +0.02) all rose from their week-ago returns. Law & Order (0.29, 0.00) and Law & Order: SVU (0.30, 0.00) matched last week's ratings on NBC, but The Hunting Party (0.17, +0.07) surged after a disappointing premiere. CBS aired repeats of Georgie & Mandy (0.22), Ghosts (0.17), and Matlock (0.14/0.13). The CW aired more Trivial Pursuit encores (0.06/0.04). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.
