Thursday TV Ratings 5/14/20: How to Get Away With Murder Up Multiple Tenths for Series Finale, Station 19 Finale Ties Millionaire for Win, Katy Keene Ends Steady (UPDATED)

Thursday night saw the end of one of ABC's longest-running dramas. How To Get Away With Murder wrapped up a six-season run up two tenths from its penultimate episode. After some extremely weak ratings this fall, this is a positive end to the show's run, especially considering that season five's finale only drew a 0.6. At 9, Station 19 ended its season with a Grey's Anatomy crossover and a one-tenth bump to 0.9. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire welcomed Catherine O'Hara and Mr. Phil to the show and held steady at 0.9, winning the night along with Station.

CBS again aired canceled comedies Man With a Plan and Broke. Man was down a tenth and had perfect retention from its Young Sheldon repeat lead-in. Broke was steady and also held onto its entire lead-in. A 10 o'clock SWAT repeat drew a 0.4, down from the series finale of Tommy.

On NBC, Council of Dads held steady at 0.4, while Blindspot was steady at 0.3 and an SVU repeat rounded out the night at 0.3.

Fox's Celebrity Watch Party managed to stay steady with its premiere after a finals adjustment. The Mental Samurai repeat at 9 gained a tenth to 0.4.

The CW said goodbye to Katy Keene, which remained embarrassing at 0.1. In The Dark also drew a 0.1. Next week, they swap in Burden of Truth at 8, probably to the same results.

Finals Update: Celebrity Watch Party (+0.1) adjusted up.

Thursday TV Ratings 4/9/20: Double Man With a Plan Down Behind Repeat, Broke Also Down, Grey’s Anatomy Ends Steady (UPDATED)

ABC's 'Grey's Anatomy' (1.4) closed out its 16th season steady with its last episode, demolishing the competition and posting a rating higher than even its year-ago finale (1.3). Earlier in the night, 'Station 19' (1.3) perked up to tie its season high. 'How To Get Away with Murder' (0.6) wrapped up the night even with its previous broadcast.

New comedy 'Broke' (0.7) saw a two-tenth decline from last week's premiere (0.9) on CBS. The silver lining was that it fully retained its weaker 'Man with a Plan' lead-in. 'Man with a Plan' itself (0.8/0.7) was down a tenth at 8:30 from last week and another tenth at 9pm. That drop seems excusable as it had a repeat lead-in from 'Young Sheldon' (0.9).

On NBC, 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' (0.6) ticked up from last week's season low despite leading out of a 'Superstore' repeat (0.5). It led into a down 'Will & Grace' (0.6) and a steady 'Indebted' (0.3). The latter was beaten out by a 'Law & Order: SVU' encore (0.4) at 10.

'Last Man Standing' (0.6) lost a tenth on Fox and led into a decently-rated repeat lineup (0.5/0.4). The CW settled for repeats of 'Arrow' (0.1) and 'Legends of Tomorrow' (0.1).

Finals Update: Last Man Standing (+0.1) adjusted up. Man With a Plan (-0.1) and the repeat of Young Sheldon (-0.1) adjusted down.

Thursday TV Ratings 4/2/20: Broke and Man With a Plan Premiere Solid, HTGAWM Ties Season High (UPDATED)

Well over four months after its fall finale, ABC's 'How to Get Away with Murder' (0.6) returned for its final stretch of episodes in decent fashion. This result was two-tenths higher than the ghastly 0.4 it posted in late November but a touch below how previous timeslot occupant 'A Million Little Things' performed.in the past two weeks. Earlier in the night, the alphabet network had a stagnant 'Station 19' (1.1) and a rising 'Grey's Anatomy' (1.4). 'Grey's' was also the top program of the night.

CBS also had positive news in the form of the series premiere of new comedy 'Broke' (0.9). Airing at 9:30, it lost just a tenth from its 'Mom' (1.0) lead-in, the latter rising to a season high. At 8, the return of 'Young Sheldon' (1.3) managed a new high as well but the fourth season debut of 'Man with a Plan' (0.9) settled at more mediocre levels. Meanwhile, 10pm drama 'Tommy' (0.6) inched up to a new series high.

Nielsen was a lot less kind to the other 3 networks as NBC's 'Superstore' (0.7) and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' (0.5) shed two-tenths and a tenth respectively, likely hurt by the added comedy competition from CBS. Things were even more anemic in the 9pm hour as comedy dud 'Indebted' (0.3) merely matched its 'Will & Grace' repeat lead-in (0.3). The negative momentum continued on to the 10pm hour as 'Law & Order: SVU' (0.6) dropped a tick to match its season low.

Fox's 'Last Man Standing' (0.7) lost a tenth in the lead-off position and led into repeats of itself (0.5) and Rob Lowe's 'Mental Samurai' (0.5). Those encores were roughly in-line with how original episodes of 'Outmatched' and 'Deputy' would perform in the same slots.

The CW remained in repeat mode with 'Katy Keene' (0.1) and 'Legacies' (0.1). The 'Legacies' repeat was at a 0.0 in preliminary ratings but rose a tenth after finals to avoid that abhorrent data point.

Analysis by TVRG's Full Boyle.

Finals Update: The repeat of Legacies (+0.1) adjusted up. The repeat of Last Man Standing (-0.1) adjusted down.
