Thursday Ratings: Elsbeth Returns Up After 5-Week Break

In the latest TV ratings, CBS' Young Sheldon was Thursday's most-watches show, while ABC's 9-1-1 led the night in the demo.

With the Laws and the Orders on NBC in rerun mode....

CBS | Young Sheldon (with 6.7 million total viewers and a 0.4 rating) and Ghosts (5.9 mil/0.5) were both up in viewers, though the former dipped in the demo. Back from a five-week, post-premiere break, Elsbeth at 9 pm (5.4 mil/0.3) was up 16% in audience from its premiere and also up in the demo. A second episode drew 4.6 mil/0.3.

ABC | 9-1-1 (4.8 mil/0.6) slipped 13 percent in audience, Grey's Anatomy (3.2 mil/0.5) rose in the demo, and Station 19 (2.6 mil/0.3) was steady.

FOX | Next Level Chef (1.9 mil/0.3) and Farmer Wants a Wife (1.8 mil/0.2) each added a few eyeballs.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in TVLine's daily-ish ratings column do NOT reflect a television program'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 specifically denoted in bold as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives.
