Thursday Ratings: The Big Three Share Dominance; Fox Stumbles

Thursday Fast Affiliate Ratings

© by Flatch

Thursday, September 29, 2022

Total Viewers: 
CBS: 4.72 million, NBC: 4.11, ABC: 3.20, Fox: 1.40, CW: 388,000

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

The immediate positive news for CBS was the pairing of sitcoms “Young Sheldon” and “Ghosts” in the Thursday 8 p.m. ET hour, which were flawlessly compatible. 

8:00 p.m. “Young Sheldon” (season premiere)
Viewers: 6.61 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5 rating/4 share (#1t)

8:30 p.m. “Ghosts” (season premiere)
Viewers: 6.15 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#1t)

The pair led into the series premiere of CBS legal-themed dramedy “So Help Me Todd”, which was sampled in total viewers (4.69 million) but lacked in adults 18-49 (#3, 0.3/ 3) at 9 p.m. That led into the second season premiere of “CSI” Vegas”, which scored a lackluster 3.09 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 2 (#3) in the demo. 

In a night of all season premieres on Fox, moving now-sophomore comedy “Welcome to Flatch” into the Thursday 9 p.m. half-hour was an expected recipe for disaster. Chances of it being flipped with lead-out “Call Me Mat” are inevitable. Take a look at the Fox season-openers:

Fox/Thursday
8:00 p.m. “Hell’s Kitchen” (season premiere)
Viewers: 1.75 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#4)

9:00 p.m. “Welcome to Flatch” (season premiere)
Viewers: 886,000 (#4); A18-49: 0.2/ 1 (#4)

9:30 p.m. “Call Me Kat” (season premiere)
Viewers: 1.24 million (#4); A18-49: 0.2/ 1 (#5)

Mirroring any evening with Dick Wolf-produced dramas, the “Law & Order” franchise on NBC defines the word compatibility. Take a look:

NBC/Thursday
8:00 p.m. “Law & Order”
Viewers: 4.33 million (#2); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#1t)

9:00 p.m. “Law & Order: SVU”
Viewers: 4.51 million (#2); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#1t)

10:00 p.m. “Law & Order: Organized Crime”
Viewers: 3.51 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#1)

Elsewhere, ABC featured “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” (Viewers: #3, 4.00 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.5/ 4 at 8 p.m.) into the 1993 theatrical “Hocus Pocus” (Viewers: #3, 2.81 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.5/ 4 from 9-11 p.m.).

And, The CW offered two episodes (including the series finale) of “Bump” (Viewers: #5, avg. 336,000; A18-49: #5, avg. 0.1/ o from 8-9 p.m.) and “The Great Chocolate Showdown” (Viewers: #5, 439,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.).
