Ratings Breakdown:
CBS topped this first Thursday in 2017 with its combination of “The Big Bang Theory” (#1 for the night: 10.5 rating/17 share), time period dependent “The Great Indoors” (#1: 5/.6/ 9), “Mom” (#2: 4.9/ 8), “Life in Pieces” (#3: 4.3/ 7) and canceled drama “Pure Genius” (#2t, 3.4/ 6). I would not be too surprised if Bradley Whitford and Nicole Sullivan snag Emmy nominations for their guest spots on “Mom” last night, but “The Big Bang Theory” sunk to a create low as far as I am concerned. The bigger story, however, is Fox, which without “American Idol” is paying the price.
Two episodes of “Hell’s Kitchen” on Fox averaged a modest 2.5/ 4 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., which comparably was 63 percent below two hours of “American Idol” on the year-ago evening. Even a deteriorating “American Idol” was far greater than what Fox has at the moment.
On ABC, two-hour ABC News special, “Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers – American Sons, American Murders” was on the map with a 5.2/ 9 from 9-11 p.m. Comparably, that built from lead-in “The Great American Baking Show” (#2: 3.6/ 6 from 8-9 p.m.) by 53 percent.
Elsewhere, the return of NBC’s Thursday night line-up – “Superstore” (#3: 2.8/ 5), “The Good Place” (#4: 2.4/ 4), “Chicago Med” (#3: 3.9/ 6) and “The Blacklist” (#2t: 3.4/ 6) – was at typical household overnight levels. And The CW capped off the evening with encore telecasts of “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (#5: 0.7/ 1) and “Supernatural” (#5: 0.5/ 1).
