Ratings Breakdown:
NBC got some mileage in the Thursday 8 p.m. ET hour care of “Little Big Shots,” hosted by Steve Harvey, which moved into the time period with a 3.7 rating/7 share in the metered market households. Comparably, that trailed encore telecasts of “The Big Bang Theory” (#1 for the night: 4.2/ 8) and “Young Sheldon” (#1: 4.0/ 7) by an average of 10 percent.

In season-premiere news, two episodes of NBC sitcom “Marlon” could not compete. The 9 p.m. ET edition opened with a third-place 2.0/ 4, which trailed a repeat of “Mom” on CBS (3.6/ 6) by 44 percent and was 47 percent below the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “Little Big Shots” (3.8/ 7). And the 9:30 p.m. edition dipped to a fourth-place 1.7/ 3.

Also original last night was Fox competition “The Four: Battle of Stardom,” which was singing the blues at a modest 1.7/ 3 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. The remainder of the evening were repeats.
