Ratings: FBI, Judge Steve Harvey Place 2nd Behind This Is Us‘ Final Premiere
In the latest TV show ratings, the beginning of This Is Us‘ end easily led Tuesday in the demo, while FBI dominated the night in total viewers.
NBC’s crown jewel opened its farewell run with 5.3 million total viewers and a 1.0 demo rating, on par with its previous averages (5.6 mil/1.0); TVLine readers gave the episode an average grade of “B+” (read recap).
Opening NBC’s night, American Auto drew 2.4 mil/0.4, followed by Grand Crew‘s 1.6 mil/0.3. Come 10 pm, New Amsterdam (3.3 mil/0.4) was steady vs. its fall finale.
Over on CBS, FBI (8.3 mil/0.7) returned steady in the demo and is looking at a potential season high in audience. International (5.9 mil/0.5) and Most Wanted (5.3 mil/0.4) both returned down, though the former outdrew This Is Us.
ABC’s Judge Steve Harvey debuted to 4.9 mil and a 0.7 (TVLine reader grade “C”). Leading out of that, Abbott Elementary formally opened its season with 3.3 mil and a 0.6, black-ish (2.6 mil/0.5) was steady with its final season premiere, and Queens (1.4 mil/0.2) gained a few viewers from its fall finale.
Fox’s Gordon Ramsay’s Road Trip averaged 1.3 mil and a 0.3.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
Abbott Elementary, while not great, is pretty good. Tries a bit too hard to be like Parks and Rec but not a total waste of 30 minutes. Teachers, which ran on TV Land was much better.
I actually enjoyed last night’s episode. Show might benefit from an earlier time slot.
Missy Peregrym has literally become the guest star in her own show, every week her appearances become fewer and fewer whats the crack? At this point they might as well go with another lead.
Is it really that bad? I don’t watch the series but I kinda doubt she’s leaving anytime soon. Maybe it’s personal reasons why she has a reduced schedule for now?
I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about – she was very much involved in last night’s episode and I actually enjoyed seeing her paired up with someone other than OA for a change.
The show did feature another agent in the lead because of a prior relationship… But the regular agents were fully involved so I agree that Mark was not really watching … All of these shows try to feature one of the other main characters from week to week which is not a bad thing… On Most Wanted, they got rid of the daughter which most fans wanted…. Tuesday will get busy next week with return of Superman and Lois on CW..
I really like the actor Missy Peregrym in FBI and in her previous role in Rookie Blue.
I was thinking the same thing last night.
You say that like it’s a bad thing. She’s a terrible actress, wooden with no range. Her face is constantly in a state of constipation. I’m sure they wanted her to be Sophia Bush, but they missed in casting.
I’d imagine all of the current on the air NBC sitcoms are all competing for one renewal slot. And I think it’ll go to Kenan.
NBC needs to mercy-kill American Auto. Not sure how the creators of Superstore came up with this one, but it’s lemon for certain. Last night’s episode was awful.
Come on people Steve Harvey. You must be DESPERATE for TV!!!!! lolololololololololol
Ugh, if the final season of “This is Us” is as dull as last night’s season premiere, I don’t know that I’m going to be able to get through it. Such a shame because last season was quite good. Other than finding out why the sister is leaving her husband, I don’t really care about any other storyline.
This Is Us still got it! I was hoping for more flash-forward during the episode. I gave the season premiere a C.
