Thursday Ratings: CBS and NBC Share Dominance; ‘Ghosts’ Scores on the Eye Net

THURSDAY FAST AFFILIATE RATINGS

© by CBS

Thursday, April 14, 2022

Total Viewers:
CBS: 4.82 million, NBC: 3.87, ABC: 2.07, Fox: 1.47, CW: 645,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.5 rating/4 share, CBS: 0.4/ 3, Fox: 0.3/ 3, ABC: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

One week before the season one finale, CBS comedy “Ghosts” scored 5.77 million viewers (#1) and a 0.6 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 (#1) in the Thursday 9 p.m. half-hour. Comparably, growth out of on-the-fence lead-in “United States of Al” (Viewers: #1, 4.78 million; #2t, 0.4/ 4 at 8:30 p.m.) was 990,000 viewers and 50 percent in the demographic, which in today’s fragmented content world makes “Ghosts” a bona fide hit. There is every reason to expect the momentum for “Ghosts” to continue in season two.

“Ghosts” led into recent sitcom entry “How We Roll”, which dipped to 3.85 million viewers (#2) and a 0.4/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#3) at 9:30 p.m. Chances of a second season renewal for “How We Roll” are slim, which gives former time period occupant “B Positive” a better shot at returning.

Next on the Eye next was soon-to-conclude drama “Bull”, with 3.97 million viewers (#1) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#2) at 10 p.m. Earlier in the evening, “Young Sheldon” topped the night with 6.59 million viewers (and an also time period dominant 0.5/ 5 in adults 18-49) in the Thursday 8 p.m. half-hour.

In the specials department was another installment of ABC’s “Superstar” (focusing on the late Patrick Swayze) out of a two-hour encore telecast of “Grey’s Anatomy”, which scored a modest 2.16 million viewers (#3) and a 0.2/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#3).

Elsewhere, NBC’s “Law & Order” trio was on par with recent fast affiliate levels as follows:

NBC/Thursday
8:00 p.m. “Law & Order”
Viewers: 3.89 million (#2); A18-49: 0.4/ 4 (#2t)

9:00 p.m. “Law & Order: SVU”
Viewers: 4.59 million (#2); A18-49: 0.6/ 5 (#1)

10:00 p.m. Law & Order: Organized Crime”
Viewers: 3.12 million (#2); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#1)

On Fox, recent comedy entry “Welcome To Flatch” (Viewers: #4, 776,000; A18-49: #3t, 0.2/ 2 at 9:30 p.m.) could be heading to the TV scrap heap in the near future. It led out of 1.42 million viewers (#4) and a 0.3/ 3 in the demo (#3) for sophomore “Call Me Kat” at 9 p.m. Earlier on Fox was “Masterchef Junior” at 1.84 million viewers (#4) and a 0.4/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#2t) in the Thursday 8 p.m. ET hour. And The CW featured dramas “Walker” (Viewers: #5, 854,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Legacies” (Viewers: #5, 437,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.).
