Ratings Breakdown:
It was all about the ongoing 2018 Winter Olympics, of course, with an average 13.2 rating/21 share in the household overnights last night. The peak half-hour was 10 p.m. at a 15.8/26.

ABC tried, and failed, with spin-off “The Bachelor Winter Games” at a mere 2.1/ 3 share from 8-10 p.m. This compares to the 4.3/ 6 for parent “The Bachelor” one night earlier.

The “Bachelor Winter Games” led into a distant third-place 1.7/ 3 for a special edition of “20/20” themed to Valentine’s Day at 10 p.m.

Also original was The CW’s recently introduced “Black Lighting,” which at a 1.4/ 2 in households in the 9 p.m. hour was 75 percent above an encore telecast of lead-in “The Flash” (#5: 0.8/ 1). The rest of the network options were all repeats.
