Tuesday TV Ratings 5/18/21: Mixed-ish and Prodigal Tie Lows for Series Finales, The Voice Hits New Low, Superman & Lois Returns with a New Low (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: ABC's 'Mixed-ish' (0.3) ended its two-season run in a resoundingly uneventful manner, tying its series low and previous episode. 'Black-ish' (0.3) and 'Big Sky' (0.4) were steady for their finales as well, but 'Pooch Perfect' (0.3) was down a notch at 8. Recently-renewed 'Resident' (0.4) fell to a new series low for its season finale on Fox, with recently-canceled drama 'Prodigal Son' (0.3) also shedding a tenth for its last ever episode. 'The Voice' (0.5) hit a rotten new low on NBC, but 'This Is Us' (0.8) and 'New Amsterdam' (0.4) were even on a week-to-week basis. 'NCIS' (0.7) and 'FBI' (0.7) were flat on CBS, with 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.5) losing a tenth at 10. After nearly two months off the air, The CW's 'Superman & Lois' (0.1) crashed to its lowest rating yet. 'The Flash' (0.2) matched its last installment at 8.

Finals Update: 'The Voice' (0.6, +0.1), 'The Resident' (0.5, +0.1), 'Pooch Perfect' (0.4, +0.1), 'Prodigal Son' (0.4, +0.1), and 'Black-ish' (0.4, +0.1) adjusted up.

Mixed-ish Canceled by ABC

One ish, two ish, red ish, canceled ish! ABC has canceled family comedy Mixedish, a spinoff of long-running veteran Blackish, after two seasons. The series has been a weak performer for ABC in season two, rating as the network's third lowest-rated scripted series and seeing a 43% decline from season one to a 0.41 average. With ratings like that, being part of an important franchise for ABC and parent company Disney was not enough for renewal. Arica Himmel, Tika Sumpter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Gary Cole, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Christina Anthony and Ethan William Childress comprise the series principal cast. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Tuesday TV Ratings 5/11/21: Prodigal Son Steady After Cancellation, This Is Us Stable, NCIS and Blackish Down (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: Leading out of a softer edition of 'The Voice' (0.6), NBC's 'This Is Us' (0.8) was steady for its first episode in a month. 'New Amsterdam' (0.4) tied its last outing at 10, unaffected by its lead-in increasing. On CBS, 'NCIS' (0.6) and 'FBI' (0.6) shed two-tenths as 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.5) ticked down. 'Pooch Perfect' (0.3) and 'Black-ish' (0.3) dropped down to season lows on ABC, with 'Mixed-ish' (0.3) matching those two at 9:30. 10pm drama 'Big Sky' (0.4) was able to build from that miserable group of duds. 'The Resident' (0.5) and recently-canceled 'Prodigal Son' (0.4) were on-par with their week-ago installments on Fox. 'The Flash' (0.2) and 'Supergirl' (0.1) were flat on the CW.

Finals Update: NCIS (+0.1), FBI (+0.1), FBI: Most Wanted (+0.1) and Pooch Perfect (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 4/27/21: Kenan Ends Steady, NCIS, Young Rock, New Amsterdam & Big Sky Among Many Shows Hitting New Series Lows (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: On a night where several shows crashed to new lows, CBS's 'NCIS' (0.6) lost a whopping four-tenths from its last episode, marking its lowest rating ever. That mediocre number was still enough to beat out all programs on the other networks. Later in the evening, 'FBI' (0.6) shed two-tenths while 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.6) was only down by one. On NBC, sitcom 'Young Rock' (0.4) fell to yet another new low, now at less than half of its stellar 1.0 debut back in February. 'Kenan' (0.4) was able to hold steady for its season finale, pulling into a tie with 'Rock' for the first time. At 10, medical drama 'New Amsterdam' (0.3) dropped two-tenths behind a 'This Is Us' encore (0.3). ABC's 'Black-ish' (0.3) and 'Big Sky' (0.3) lost one-tenth apiece, with 'Big Sky' posting its third-straight decline since its return. Reality series 'Pooch Perfect' (0.4) and 'Mixed-ish' (0.3) were flat. Fox's 'The Resident' (0.5) was steady, but 'Prodigal Son' (0.3) gave back a tenth. The CW's 'Supergirl' (0.2) was the lone show of the evening to rise a tenth, the superhero drama led out of a repeat of 'The Flash' (0.2). 

Finals Update: FBI (+0.1), Young Rock (+0.1), Blackish (+0.1), New Amsterdam (+0.1), and Big Sky (+0.1) adjusted down. Supergirl (-0.1) and the repeat of The Flash (-0.1) adjusted down.
