Thursday Ratings: ABC and CBS Share Modest Dominance; ‘How We Roll’ on the Eye Net Continues to Underwhelm

THURSDAY FAST AFFILIATE RATINGS

Thursday, April 28, 2022

Total Viewers:
CBS: 4.25 million, NBC: 3.99, ABC: 3.61, Fox: 1.42, CW: 508,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC: 0.8 rating/ 6 share, NBC: 0.5/ 4, CBS: 0.4/ 3, Fox: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

On a rare night of all original programming, two episodes of recent CBS sitcom entry “How We Roll” are two more examples of why a second season is highly unlikely. “Young Sheldon”, as usual, led the evening with the Eye net by show as follows:

CBS/Thursday
8:00 p.m. – “Young Sheldon”
Viewers: 6.51 million (#1), A18-49: 0.6 rating/5 share (#2)

8:30 p.m. – “United States of Al”
Viewers: 4.44 million (#1), A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#3)

9:00 p.m. – “How We Roll”
Viewers: 3.33 million (#3), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#3t)

9:30 p.m. – “How We Roll”
Viewers: 3.12 million (#3), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#3t)

10:00 p.m. – “Bull”
Viewers: 4.01 million (#1), A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#3)

ABC led the night among all demos with Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft. (See network averages above.) The event was also simulcast on ESPN and NFL Network. 

NBC, meanwhile, had a typical Thursday care of the “Law & Order” trio: “Law & Order” (Viewers: #2, 4.05 million; #3, 0.4/ 4 at 8 p.m.), “Law & Order: SVU” (Viewers: #1, 4.73 million; A18-49: #2, 0.6/ 4 at 9 p.m.), and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” (Viewers: #2, 3.18 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 4 at 10 p.m.). Fox featured “MasterChef Junior” (Viewers: #4, 1.70 million; A18-49: #4, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and comedies “Call Me Kat” (Viewers: #4, 1.47 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.3/ 2 at 9 p.m.) and failing recent entry “Welcome To Flatch” (Viewers: #4, 780,000; A18-49: 0.2/ 1 at 9:30 p.m.). And The CW offered dramas “Walker” (Viewers: 715,000; A18-49: A18-49: 0.1/ 1) and “Legacies” (Viewers: 302,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 0).
