Total Viewers:
CBS: 5.03 million, NBC: 4.77, ABC: 3.91, Fox: 1.21, CW: 390,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.6 rating/5 share, ABC: 0.5/ 4, CBS: 0.4/ 3, Fox: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

As expected, the return of “Law & Order” for its 21st season on NBC (Viewers: #2, 5.54 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.7 rating/ share at 8 p.m. ET) was a compatible pairing with lead-outs “Law & Order: SVU” (Viewers: #1, 5.04 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.7/ 5 at 9 p.m.) and sophomore “Law & Order: Organized Crime” (Viewers: #2, 3.43 million; A18-49: #1, 0.5/ 4 at 10 p.m.).

On ABC, the return of dramas “Station 19” (#3, 4.78 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.7/ 5 at 8 p.m.) and veteran parent “Grey’s Anatomy” (Viewers: #3, 4.41 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.7/ 5 at 9 p.m.) continue to work well together. But sophomore drama “Blue Sky” (#3: 2.54 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3/ 2) lost considerable steam at 9 p.m.

Elsewhere, CBS had a typical Thursday care of the two-hour sitcom block and soon-to-conclude drama “Bull” (Viewers: #1, 4.26 million; A18-49: #2, 0.4/ 3 at 10 p.m.). The question to ponder for the Eye net is future of sophomore Chuck Lorre sitcoms “United States of Al” and “B Positive.” Take a look:

CBS/Thursday
8:00 p.m. “Young Sheldon”
Viewers: 6.76 million (#1 for the night); A18-49: 0.6/ 5 (#3)

8:30 p.m. “United States of Al”
Viewers: 4.87 million (#2); A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#3)

9:00 p.m. “Ghosts”
Viewers: 5.61 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#3)

9:30 p.m. “B Positive”
Viewers: 4.42 million (#2); A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#3)

Elsewhere, Fox could not compete care of the reboot of “Joe Millionaire” (Viewers: #4, 1.39 million; A18-49: #4, 0.3/ 2 at 8 p.m.) and comedies “Call Me Kat” (Viewers: #4, 1.26 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2 at 9 p.m.) and recently introduced “Pivoting” (Viewers: #4, 786,000; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 1 at 9:30 p.m.). And The CW featured an encore telecast of “Walker” into “Legacies” (Viewers: #5, 291,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.).
