Thursday 4/08/21 Preliminary Primetime Ratings 

Total Viewers:
ABC: 4.31 million, CBS: 4.24, NBC: 4.18, Fox: 2.06, CW: 794,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC and NBC: 0.7 rating/5 share each, CBS and Fox: 0.5/ 3 each, CW: 0.1/ 1

In series-premiere news, ABC drama “Rebel” has a soft start, finishing a distant second behind NBC’s “Law & Order: Organized Crime” at 3.56 million viewers and a 0.5/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#2) in the 10 p.m. hour. Comparably, that slipped by 1.13 million viewers (or 24 percent) and 44 percent in the demo from lead-in “Grey’s Anatomy” (Viewers: #2, 4.69 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.9/ 6 at 9 p.m.). Since most new series drop 10 to 20 percent in week two, Katey Sagal would be wise to keep her other recurring role on sitcom “The Conners.”

Earlier in the evening on ABC was drama “Station 19” at 4.69 million viewers (#2) and a 0.7/ 5 in adults 18-49 (#1t) at 8 p.m.

The arrival of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” remains of positive benefit to NBC, with the Christopher Meloni-starrer at a dominant 4.69 million viewers and a 0.8 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. Positioned following “Law & Order: SVU”, “SVU” was above average at an also time period-winning 4.73 million viewers and a 0.9/ 6 in the demo at 9 p.m.

Earlier on NBC was drama “Manifest” at 3.12 million (#3) and a 0.5/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#4) at 8 p.m.

Also in week two news was CBS sitcom “The United States of Al”, which fit well out of lead-in “Young Sheldon” (Viewers: #1, 6.63 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.7/ 5 at 8 p.m.) with 5.16 million viewers (#1) and a 0.6/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#2t) at 8:30 p.m. Far less impressive was “B Positive”, now Thursday at 9:30 p.m., at 3.73 million (#3) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#3). That led into freshman crime solver “Clarice” at a distant third place 2.61 million viewers and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. CBS needs to give this movie spinoff the so-called heave ho.

Elsewhere, Fox comedy “The Moodys” was not worthy of a second season, no doubt, with a mere 1.13 million viewers (#4) and a 0.3/ 2 in the demo (#4) at 9:30 p.m. Soon-to-conclude lead-in “Last Man Standing” (Viewers: #4, 2.18 million; A18-49: #4, 0.4/ 3 at 9 p.m.) led out of 2.45 million viewers (#4) and a 0.7/ 5 in adults 18-49 (#1t) for “Hell’s Kitchen” at 8 p.m. And recent positive entry “Walker” is beginning to cool off on The CW with 1.07 million viewers (#5) and a 0.2/ 1 (#5) in adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. Lead-out “Legacies” was off the charts, so to speak, with 521,000 viewers and a 0.1/ 1 in the demo at 9 p.m. Needless to say, that was fifth in both categories.
