NBC | Night Court opened the night with 5 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating, down 32 and 26 percent from its boffo, double-episode debut (which aired opposite an FBI rerun). American Auto‘s sophomore opener retained just 2.4 mil and a 0.4, matching its demo low.

FOX | 9-1-1: Lone Star (3.8 mil/0.5, TVLine reader grade “A-“; read post mortem) matched series lows with its Season 4 premiere. Accused Episode 2 (2.4 mil/0.4) was, of course, down sharply from Sunday’s post-NFL launch.
THE CW | The Winchesters (360K/0.1) returned to a new audience low but was steady in the demo.

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. This is only an exhibition, this is not a competition. Please, no wagering.
