In the latest TV show ratings, The CW’s Walker this Thursday drew 1.11 million total viewers — marking a season high — and a 0.14 demo rating (up 27 percent week-to-week).
Over on CBS, Young Sheldon (7.8 mil/0.8), United States of Al (5.4 mil/0.5), Ghosts (6.5 mil/0.7) and B Positive (4.9 mil/0.5) all are on track to again hit season highs in audience, while Sheldon and Ghosts respectively hit and tied season highs in the demo. Bull (4.5 mil/0.4) was steady in the wake of its cancellation news.

ABC | Women of the Movement (2.8 mil/0.3, read recap) and Let the World See (2.1 mil/0.3) both dipped with their finales.
NBC | The Blacklist (3.3 mil/0.4) and Organized Crime (3.1 mil/0.5) were both steady, but SVU (4.2 mil/0.6) dipped.

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. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
I think the Steve Harvey PSA is now my favorite.

Also: same!
CBS would be crazy to cancel either Al or B+. How we Roll doesn’t have much of a prayer.
When was the last time they cancelled a Chuck Lorre show that he didn’t want ended?
Ghosts is just such a great feel good show, loving B-Positive also. loving the changes to season 2.
Ghosts beat Young Sheldon recently with DVR numbers and seems to be attracting a decent following. There’s a lot of potential there for the show to keep growing.
I thought for sure they were going to trick the Robber Baron into going back in the safe and then closing the door behind him. But the way they got rid of him was a lot funnier.
C’mon people. Check out Pivoting. Good show. Very funny
Call me Kat at 8pm would easily break 2 million and get a slight demo bump. But Fox seems to care more about a cheap low rated reality show. Such a shame as the sitcoms probably could be salvaged in terms of their ratings performance.
Ghosts is picking up steam
walker and pivoting are almost the same ratings numbers but it’s still beating pivoting!!! you got to be yanking me?
Not sure what goes into demo rating but Walker’s was over 1 point higher than Pivoting. But you’re right about total viewers being the same.
Call me Kat please boost your ratings look forward to seeing it every Thursday night comedy so funny please reconsider it all.
Ordinary Joe is the best new drama. Look forward to seeing it every Monday night drama late too. Look forward to seeing it. Please boost your ratings look reconsider it all.
You could ask a million people here to watch. If they don’t have Nielsen boxes, it doesn’t matter what mediocre show you are praising.
Parky needs to not drink while posting, but his praise for Ordinary Joe is warranted. Along with The Big Leap they are this season’s best new dramas.
