CBS: 2.86 million; ABC: 1.97, NBC: 1.76, Fox: 1.64, CW: 736,000
Adults 18-49:

Unlike the majority of series suffering double-digit rating losses year-to-year, CBS mainstay “Big Brother” remained consistent with 4.32 million viewers and a 1.0 rating/9 share in adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. ET last night. Comparably, that finished first overall for the evening in both categories.
In season-premiere news was drama “Coroner” on The CW at 925,000 viewers and a 0.1/ 1 in the demo at 8 p.m. That led into drama “The Outpost” at 548,000 with also a 0.1/ 1 in adults 18-49 at 9 p.m. Both CW entries, of course, finished fifth in their time periods. It gets repetitive…I know.
On NBC, two more episodes of soon-to-conclude sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” averaged 2.20 million viewers (#3) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#2t) in the 8 p.m. hour. And that led into comical home makeover series “Making It” at 1.78 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 2 (#2t) at 9 p.m. At this point, “Making It” needs to call it quits.
ABC had nothing unusual to report, meanwhile, with its Thursday non-scripted combination of “Holey Moley” (Viewers: #2, 2.68 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3 at 8 p.m.), “When Nature Calls With Helen Mirren” (Viewers: #3, 1.54 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2 at 9 p.m.) and game show “The Hustler” (Viewers: #2, 1.68 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.2/ 2). There is not much you can say when the top-rated broadcast network series averages a 0.2 rating in a time period!
Elsewhere, “Beat Shazam” averaged 1.82 million viewers (#4) and a 0.4/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#2t) in the Thursday 8 p.m. hour. And the remainder of the evening featured encore telecasts.
