(R) = repeat


NBC had the night in the bag as Lions at Seahawks (6.8) easily took the lead even beating the combined rating of all 8 programs of the night (5.0).

ABC had an NFL-boosted repeat of To Tell The Truth (1.4) which doubled last Sunday's premiere and beat out every single summer original, it was followed by a repeat of the Menedez Brothers special (0.9/0.8) which performed very well.

CBS had an awful night with the timeslot premiere of  Ransom (0.4), it managed to fall 50% from an already modest, or should I say disastrous, debut and was even below the typical CBS drama repeat results. Ransom was followed by a repeat of Criminal Minds (0.4) and 48 Hours (0.5) which was below its usual delivery as Ransom tanked the night.

FOX had a repeats of sure-to-be-cancelled Sleepy Hollow (0.3) and sure-to-be-renewed Star (0.3).

NBC and CBS to Split Thursday Night Football

The Ratings Junkie Monday, February 01, 2016
NBC and CBS to Split Thursday Night Football
It was recently announced that the finalized Thursday Night Football deal has NBC and CBS airing it for five consecutive weeks.

For NBC, this means there will be weeks where they have two full nights of football, a night of The
Voice, and an additional hour of The Voice, along with an hour of Dateline. That's 11 unscripted hours. Add 4 Dick Wolf shows into the equation (5 if there's a Chicago Law on in the fall), meaning only 4 hours left to be filled.

For CBS, it most likely means that The Big Bang Theory will play musical chairs yet again and air Monday at 8 some weeks, leading into a comedy at 8:30 when there's football, and a two-hour comedy block on Thursday when there isn't.
