Total Viewers:
CBS: 4.66 million, NBC: 3.91, ABC: 3.46, Fox: 1.13, CW: 632,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC and NBC: 0.5 rating/4 share each, CBS: 0.4/ 3, Fox: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

CBS, which is pondering the futures of sophomore Chuck Lorre comedies “B Positive” and “United States of Al”, flipped their time periods this week. Airing out of “Young Sheldon” (Viewers: #1 for the night, 6.24 million; A18-49: #1, 0.6 rating/5 share at 8 p.m.), “B Positive” in the Thursday 8:30 p.m. half-hour perked up a bit to 4.62 million viewers (#1) and a 0.4/ 3 (#2t) in the demo. Out of “Ghosts” (Viewers: #1, 5.40 million; A18-49: #3, 0.5/ 4 at 9 p.m.), “United States of Al” dipped to 3.84 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 3 at 9:30 p.m. (#3).

At 10 p.m. on CBS was soon-to-conclude drama “Bull” at 3.93 million viewers (#1) and a 0.3/ 3 in adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. Comparably, that tied ABC’s competing “Blue Sky” in the demo, which finished last in ttoal viewers with 2.27 million.

Earlier in the evening on ABC was the highly compatible combination of dramas “Station 19” (Viewers: #2, 4.31 million; A18-49: #1, 0.6/ 5 at 8 p.m.) and parent series “Grey’s Anatomy” (Viewers: #2, 3.81 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.6/ 5 at 9 p.m.).

In week two return series news, NBC’s “Law & Order” scored 4.28 million viewers (#3) and a 0.4/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#3) at 8 p.m., which is really nothing to boast about given the hype. Lead-out “Law & Order: SVU” was comparable in total viewers (#2, 4.37 million at 9 p.m.), but an improvement in the demo (#1, 0.6/ 5). Sophomore “Law & Order: Organized Crime” dropped to 3.08 million viewers (#2) with a 0.5/ 4 in the demo (#1) at 10 p.m. The bottom-line: “Law & Order” in some form will probably outlive us all. But, it is not exactly the powerhouse it once was.

Elsewhere, “Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer” on Fox was on the poorer side with just 1.29 million viewers (#4)N and a 0.2/ 2 (#4) at 8 p.m. That led into sitcoms “Call Me Kat” (Viewers: #4, 1.22 million; A18-49: #4: 0.2/ 2 at 9 p.m.) and recent entry “Pivoting” (Viewers: #4, 716,000; A18-49: #4, 0.4/ 4 at 9:30 p.m.), which is pivoting closer to cancellation. And The CW featured dramas “Walker” (Viewers: $5, 905,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.), its most-watched show, and “Legacies” Viewers: #5, 359,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.), which should probably call it quits at this point.
