Breakdown:
Despite airing all repeats, CBS’ drama combination of “NCIS”, “FBI” and “FBI: Most Wanted” was enough to win the evening in total viewers. NBC, meanwhile, led in adults 18-49 on the heels of a promising 0.7 rating/5 share in the demo for week two of comedy “Young Rock” in the 8 p.m. half-hour (#1 in the time period) and “This Is Us” (#1 for the night: 0.9/ 6 from 9-10 p.m.). In between the two was week two of sitcom “Kenan” at 2.70 million viewers (#3) and a 0.5/ 3 in the demo (#2t) at 8:30 p.m. (out of 3.48 million viewers for “Young Rock”). But the bigger news was the respectable sampling for the 90-minute series opener of The CW’s “Superman & Lois” (#4: 1.71 million viewers; A18-49: #4, 0.4/ 2 from 8-9:30 p.m.).

Elsewhere, Canadian drama “Nurses” concluded the season on NBC at an uneventful 2.22 million viewers (#2t) and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#2t) in the 10 p.m. hour. Comparably, that tied a 10 p.m. edition of ABC’s “To Tell the Truth” in viewers. Earlier, “To Tell the Truth” (Viewers: 3.82 million; A18-49: 0.5/ 3) finished second in the 8 p.m. hour. But lead-out comedies “black-ish” (Viewers: #3, 2.42 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 3 at 9 p.m.) and “Mixed-ish” (Viewers: #3, 2.01 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3 at 9:30 p.m.) were nothing to boast about. Fox featured encore telecasts of dramas “The Resident” and “Prodigal Son.”
