Ratings Breakdown:
CBS led this second Thursday of 2017 in the household overnights, besting No. 2 ABC by 16 percent. An encore telecast of “The Big Bang Theory” was still the top draw with a 6.2 rating/10 share in the 8 p.m. half-hour. And it led into typical overnight household ratings for sitcoms “The Great Indoors” (#2: 4.4/ 7), “Mom” (#1: 4.8/ 8) and “Life in Pieces” (#2t: 3.8/ 6) from 8:30-10 p.m. While respectable, “The Great Indoors” is yet another example of the Eye net squandering the “Big Bang Theory” lead-in support on a comedy that will probably never be able to stand on its own.
Canceled drama “Pure Genius” capped off the night for CBS with a third-place 3.5/ 6 at 10 p.m., which trailed competing “The Blacklist” on NBC (#2: 3.6/ 6) by just one-tenth of a rating point. ”The Blacklist,” unfortunately, is no longer the force it once was.
Earlier in the evening on NBC were sitcoms “Superstore” (#3: 2.9/ 5) and “The Good Place” (#4: 2.5/ 4), which cannot compete with the CBS comedies, and drama “Chicago Med” (#1: 4.4/ 7), which always picks up steam.
In series premiere news, “My Kitchen Rules” on Fox did not rule in the overnights, with a lackluster 1.8/ 3 (#4) from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that slipped from lead-in “Hell’s Kitchen” (#3: 2.8/ 5 at 8 p.m.) by 36 percent. And the two reality seasons, on average, trailed two-hours of year-ago time period occupant “American Idol” (6.1/10) by a hefty 62 percent.
ABC featured the season (or series) finale of “The Great American Baking Show” (#2), which performed well enough to snag a renewal. And it led into two hour special, “Talking the Stage: African American Music and the Stories that Changed America,” at a respectable 3.9/ 7 from 9-11 p.m.
The CW featured encore telecasts of “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (0.8/ 1) and “Supernatural” (0.6/ 1).
