CBS aired two specials, The Amazing Race: 25 Years Around the World (0.19) and Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen 20th Anniversary Special (0.14), but neither was particularly competitive in the key demo.

NCIS: Origins, Tracker, Elsbeth & Matlock Among Ten CBS Renewals

CBS has issued another early mass renewal, with ten fall series now confirmed to join Sheriff Country and Boston Blue on next year's schedule, leaving just three series from their fall schedule in limbo. Tuesday night's NCIS lineup of NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney will all be back next season, potentially keeping that block together for another year. Wednesday reality hits Survivor and The Amazing Race have also been renewed. The Thursday lineup is also returning in full, with sitcom Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and legal drama Matlock earning third seasons and Elsbeth being granted a fourth season pickup, with Ghosts having already been renewed back in February 2025. Fire Country has also been renewed for a fifth season, now confirmed to join its spinoff on the schedule next year. And, in perhaps the least-surprising decision of the year, CBS has picked up a fourth season of breakout hit drama Tracker, the only Sunday night series currently confirmed to be returning. DMV, Watson, and reality series The Road are all still in limbo. All but NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney are correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Wednesday TV Ratings 10/1/25: Shifting Gears Rises from Finale, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire Premiere Up from 2024 Starts, 99 to Beat Builds on The Floor [+ Analysis]

Fellow comedy Abbott Elementary (0.29) had a softer return at 8:30, dropping slightly from where it left off (0.30). But any perceived Abbott shortcomings felt trivial when compared to the utter collapse of The Golden Bachelor (0.16, -0.12) at nine.
