Ratings: Rookie Spinoff Audience Slips, The Voice and FBI Lead Tuesday
In the latest TV show ratings, NBC’s The Voice topped Tuesday in the demo, while CBS’ FBI copped the night’s largest audience.
NBC | The Voice drew 6.1 million total viewers and a 0.6 rating, down a tick in the demo week-to-week; read recap. La Brea (3.8 mil/0.4) was also down a tenth (though, wow, a lot happened!), while New Amsterdam (2.8 mil/0.3) was steady.
CBS | FBI (6.7 mil/0.5) was steady in the demo with its postponed season finale (average TVLine reader grade “A”; read post mortem). International (5.8 mil/0.4) and Most Wanted (5.1 mil/0.4) were each down a tenth in the demo, though the former is looking at its best overnight audience since April 26.
ABC | Bachelor in Paradise (2 mil/0.5) was down 23 and 29 percent from its week-ago season opener, but on par with this Monday’s numbers. The Rookie: Feds (1.7 mil/0.3) in turn dropped 28 percent of its debut audience, yet held steady in the demo. (Of note, last week’s TVLine poll had suggested that 39 percent would tune out.)
FOX | The Resident (2.6 mil/0.3) and Monarch (1.6 mil/0.2) were steady.
THE CW | Leonardo (356K/0.0) and Devils (177K/0.0) were steady with their Stateside season finales.

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.

Have a feeling The Rookie: Feds is gonna be the first casualty of the season.
I thought I would try it again but I just couldn’t deal with the noise and turned the channel. NN is just to obnoxious for my ears.
It’ll be the first to be given a back 9. Mark my words. Delayed viewing will be massive. Like rookie.
That’ll go to Quantum leap. You don’t have to mark my words though.
Yeah, its first Live+7s just came in and are solid.
Depends on what you mean by “first casualty” of the season. The Rookie: Feds airing 13 episodes and not getting a back order would pretty much mean that the show is not getting a second season. ABC pulling the series, zero chance that will happen. I would put the odds at any of the new fall series being pulled off the air at 1%.
I agree. Webs may move an underperformer to streaming but cancellation means replacement and .. cupboards seem to be bare. I think webs should give shows a chance or let them run their courses. Maybe in they stop franchising and cannibalizing their products…
BIP dropped .2 in demo. RF held entire demo. Headline is BS.
How is it BS when the overall viewers went from 2.28M and 0.34 to 1.65M and 0.3. AND these are just prelim numbers. I have a feeling RF is between 2.5-3.0 when the final numbers get released. So yes, it dropped no matter how you wanna spin it lol.
*0.25-0.30
.3 on the dot.
Either that or Monarchy.
My money is on Monarchy. I think ABC will stick with Feds. But both are equally bad, just my opinion obviously.
We watched 2 episodes of Monarch. We’re out. And loved Anna Friel on Marcella! Brother and sister-in-law, come on.
I think ABC will give the show a small schedule filling order so they have something new in that slot until early next Spring. I expect 3-5 episodes.
I don’t know Monarch on FOX seems like it’s going to take that title.
ABC will keep this show as long as possible.
It checks the diversity box that Disney wants.
She’s black and a lesbian.
RIp the rookie feds it was a good run
The biggest difference for met with Rookie :Feds is that from the pilot episode they got more serious episode. NN is just to obnoxious. She is the wrong lead for a spinoff.
This. NN is a great actress. But her style is just too OTT for this show.
.
But part of that is the writing. In Rookie, the new/old guy was eager to learn. He had a little more life experience, but he was learning and he knew it. RF features a new/old lady telling experienced agents how to do their jobs. It makes her a little unlikeable.
That’s the very resson she does that is because of her life experience. I think the goal of the show is to show that you’re never too old to live out your dreamz & being a poc on top of that. And that’s just NN’s personality which they probably thought would make the show interesting and it is for me yet I get the feeling that it won’t be renewed unless they come up with a new plot. Rebel was a different d interesting kind of show and they took it off.
Also I would love to know the backstory of how she went from guidance counselor to FBI!
ABC made a big mistake with BIP giving it 2 nights and 4 hours ??? I know it is cheaper for them to make this trash but reputation is at stake. Fourth place for most of Monday and Tuesday. Drop BIP replace with Disney movies on Monday put Steve Harvey judge show and two comedies (mid season entries) on Tuesday
Hasnt Steve been cancelled?
Oh, there were doomsday predictions about NCIS:Hawaii on CBS last year and heavy criticism of the female lead. Yet, it’s still going strong!
I predict the same for The Rookie Feds! Love Niecy Nash.
I think I fell asleep before the end of Feds, but hopefully I can catch up on the ABC streaming app or maybe their website.

I loved the fake-a-roo ending for the Leonardo season!
The Bachelor in Paradise should have been a Summer show
“The Rookie” has a lot of humor and some outrageous situations, but it’s rooted in a realistic portrayal of how a police department works. “Feds” is based in a fictional super-special squad of the FBI, whose objectives are poorly defined and which gives us no idea of what the actual FBI is like. The agent characters are too broad (in addition to the rookie, who gets by on attitude rather than using her training, there’s an actual TV star?). And somehow they keep stumbling over huge crimes and their solutions, so they never have to bother doing the kind of investigative work that would take time and effort. In the end, it’s just too cartoonish to stay interesting for long.
TD, your assessment is spot on. “Cartoonish” – perfect description.
I just don’t know how the two shows are creatively connected? I’m baffled!
The Rookie just insulted the viewers, at least those that care about a believable story. The preganant girl full of natural pain of late pregnancy defeat the bad guy. Ok might work if she surprise him . Then when the husband is downstairs fighting the other guy, delivers the children like if by magic.
Then the same crap with NCIS Hawaii, 2 girls fight with a dozen blows each one, but the the bad guys are just knocked by one blow each.
American series are now full of this. In the past there were some respect for the audience.
The Rookie Feds is way better than people are giving it credit for. The cast has great chemistry and while Niecy Nash is obviously divisive, it’s not like the show is devoted exclusively to her.
I imagine that, like The Rookie, it will develop into more of ensemble show if given the time to do so.
Of course these shows are over the top, but it’s not like the writers are trying to make gritty realism. The Rookie shows are way more fun and have way more personality than the CBS procedurals. That’s what makes them unique, and much more enjoyable.
I did like it last week but this week the new face of the rookie fef season is inappropriate in her clothing she needs to be more modest in her job.
I like the rookie feds . I think the problem is so many fans don’t want to even give it a chance so they don’t know how good a show really is when they won’t sit there and watch it long enough to find out.
The Rookie (starring Nathan Fillion) is a quality show.
How is The Rookie: Feds related? I just can’t see any relationship other than the title.
I welcome your thoughts!
I believe the main problem with The Rookie Feds is her father. The anti police sentiment is being shoved down our throats. I get it to an extent, but he’s even against the good she’s doing.
I watched the Pilot. I’m a big fan of The Rookie so I was hoping to see something similar with Rookie Feds. I’ll give it a few more episodes to work out the kinks but for me the cast was too stiff. The Rookie’s cast has great chemistry and I feel like this one is just off. Niecy Nash is fine as the lead but I do take issue with her character refusing to listen to people who have more experience, like the profiler in the pilot. I don’t want to watch someone barreling through everyone and thinking she can do no wrong and then everything just eventually works out in her favor. I hope they have her start growing as an agent instead of reacting instinctively damn the consequences.
If anybody thought it was a good idea for this show should be demoted to getting coffee just like the Rookie? We don’t want old cops. Ever see videos of NYPD folks? They have it in their contract that they don’t have to stay fit. Some of them belong on My Big Fat Fabulous Life. And….they don’t know how to shoot as do most police departments when they have to fire 50+ rounds into some poor slob
How i miss the different characters of Hill Street Blues. Those appeared to be real people with their quirks and different ways to achieve the objective even if in the same side.
Today the good guys think the same about everything.
To make things worse writers seem unable to make proper villains and grey zone characters.
Villains are caricatural and grey zone are unexistent. One just have to look at what was NCIS 15 years ago and now even if in dialogue never reach JAG level. The fall have been heavy.
The Wire was one of those great Cop shows.
Today? Blue Bloods is my recommendation.
The Rookie Feds is an awful show. There is nothing about this show that I find worthwhile.
Niecy Nash is so obnoxious.
I won’t be watching it ever again.
Niecy Nash is completely the wrong oerson
