Ratings: All American Returns Low, American Idol Ties for Monday Demo Win
In the latest TV ratings, CBS’ NCIS was Monday’s most-watched show, while ABC’s American Idol landed in a four-way tie for the nightly demo win.
CBS | The Neighborhood (with 4.4 million total viewers and a 0.4 demo rating) dipped in both measures week-to-week, Bobishola (4.2 mil/0.4) was steady, NCIS (5.9 mil/0.4) dropped some eyeballs and NCIS: Hawaii (5 mil/0.3) ticked up in audience.
ABC | American Idol‘s Monday premiere drew 3.9 mil and a 0.4.
NBC | The Voice (3.2 mil/0.3) dropped with what I can only assume was a clip show, yet Deal or No Deal Island (2.4 mil/0.3) held steady.
FOX | The iHeart Radio Music Awards averaged 1.5 mil and a 0.3.
THE CW | All American opened Season 6 with 367,000 total viewers and a 0.1 demo rating, hitting and matching series lows; TVLine readers gave the premiere an average grade of “B+.” Lovers and Liars fka FGirl Island drew 135K and a goose egg ahead of its official April 11 premiere.

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. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
Lovers and Liars fka FGirl Island – no idea they changed the name. I wonder if that contributed? People were looking for FGirl Island?
I’m thinking the same, had no idea the name was changed until I saw this article
They announced it a while ago. I think either bad season 2 ratings caused it or they didn’t want to use “FGirl” label.
That’s terrible for All American, Wild Cards and Sullivans Crossing did better than that. I’m very shocked and sadden by this.
It was off nearly a year. That’s what happens.
No worries for “All American”! “AA” will perform well on streaming – on the CW Seed app as well as giant, Netflix. Typically, when the season drops on Netflix, it hits top 10.
Also, it’s streaming on Max, so it will also access more viewers/eyeballs.
“AA” will also pick up steam in DVR and on-demand viewing too.
With all audiences factored in, “AA” will still top the CW charts for ratings, and considering how big its social media platform is (current reels hitting 1 million views), it should be fine as an aging show! :)
Correction: Not on Max
This page only counts LIVE television ratings. It does not factor in ratings from delayed playback.
All American probably didn’t have enough viewer because alit of people now use streamline services and CW isn’t a mainstream on Philo, Peacock,Pluto TV and Tubi… So we have to wait until it is available on the CW app to watch it
All American probably had low ratings as they changed the time the time it airs on the West Coast. You can’t expect people to watch a show at 5 pm, most people are on there way home from work, dealing with children and focusing on the dinner time ritual.
The low ratings could have something to do with people are streaming more these days and waiting for the show to appear on Netflix. People have busy lives through the week and sometimes it’s hard to watch regular TV.
I didn’t particularly care for the whole UFO storyline on NCIS. Did they ever explain exactly how the Navy pilot was killed?
Hey, if All American decided to end its run next season (which would be its seventh), how long do you think its Homecoming spinoff will outlive the original AA series afterwards?
All American is a really good show and me and my wife been waiting for it to air but I have direct TV stream. And it say it’s on CW but I don’t have it.. and I really love the show..where else can watch it??
Y’all can not get rid of All American I love the show and also the characters witch one is already leaving give it a little action and some romance ,drama because my husband and always watch
All American did not show on CW in Atlanta Ga. Area. So the ratings are not fair.
