Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers: 
CBS: 5.57 million, NBC: 3.54, ABC: 2.70, Fox: 1.49, CW: 713,000

Adults 18-49:
CBS and NBC: 0.5 rating/4 share, ABC: 0.4/ 3, Fox: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

ABC limited series “Women of the Movement” concluded with 2.81 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 (#3) from 8-10:30 p.m. ET. And that led into a half-hour edition of docuseries “Let the World See” at 2.13 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3/ 3 (#2t) in the demo at 10:30 p.m.

On CBS, the network continues to make inroads in the comedy department on Thursday with the quartet all above average as follows:

CBS/Thursday
8:00 p.m. “Young Sheldon”
Viewers: 7.76 million (#1 for the night); A18-49: 0.8/ 6 (#1) for the night

8:30 p.m. “United States of Al”
Viewers: 5.37 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#1)

9:00 p.m. “Ghosts”
Viewers: 6.46 million (#1); A18-49: 0.7/ 5 (#1)

9:30 p.m. “B Positive”
Viewers: 4.88 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#2)

The sitcoms led into soon-to-conclude drama “Bull” (which should have ended three years ago, in my opinion, following an harassment controversy surrounding series star Michael Weatherly), which scored 4.48 million viewers (#1) and a 0.4/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#2) at 10 p.m. 

Elsewhere, NBC had a typical Thursday care of its trio of dramas: “The Blacklist” (Viewers: #2, 3.32 million at 8 p.m.), “Law & Order: SVU” (Viewers: #2, 4.18 million; A18-49: #1, 0.6/ 4 at 9 p.m.) and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” (Viewers: #2, 3.13 million; A18-49: #1, 0.5/ 4 at 10 p.m.). The CW was in repeats. And Fox, as usual, could not compete as follows:

Fox/Thursday
8:00 p.m. “Joe Millionaire”
Viewers: 1.64 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#4)

9:00 p.m. “Call Me Kat”
Viewers: 1.60 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#4)

9:00 p.m. “Pivoting”
Viewers: 1.07 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#3t)
