The Conners still marked a time-slot improvement in the slot versus last fall when
The Middle was airing its final season there, logging ABC's best delivery in the half-hour slot over the last five years that the
World Series has started a Tuesday night – since 2013.
But its declines carried over to the rest of ABC's Tuesday series. New comedy The Kids Are Alright (1.1, 5.1 million) was down 21% in the demo from its debut last week, black-ish (0.9, 3.8 million) dipped a tenth, while sophomore Splitting Up Together (0.7, 2.9 million) and newbie The Rookie (0.8, 4.4 million) each slipped two tenths.
This is a new L+SD series low and an alarming number for romantic comedy
Splitting Up Together as no Big 4 series has been able to recover from hitting the dreaded 0.7 demo mark.
The Rookie 's Week 2 18-49 delivery matched that of fellow new ABC drama
A Million Little Things, though the cop dramedy starring Nathan Fillion draws more viewers in L+SD while
A Million Little Things posts big delayed viewership percentage lifts.
The Rookie also built onto its lead-in. ABC this week
ordered three more scripts each of
The Kids Are Alright, Splitting Up Together, A Million Little Things and
The Rookie while the network mulls possible back episodic orders..
NBC's
The Voice (1.6, 8.3 million) slipped a tenth from its fast national last week, two tenths from the final. As we already noted, This Is Us (2.1, 8.4 million ) dipped a tenth, while new medical drama New Amsterdam (1.3, 6.4 million), already picked up for a full season, is currently up a tenth in the demo from last week and has a chance of going up two tenths with a possible upward adjustment. CBS' drama lineup was rock solid against the World Series. NCIS (1.2, 11.1 million), FBI (1.0, 8.8 million) and NCIS: New Orleans ' 100th episode (0.8, 7.1 million) all were even in the demo vs. last week and held onto almost the entire viewership from last Wednesday.
The CW's
The Flash (0.7, 1.8 million) also was steady in the demo while adding a few eyeballs, and
Black Lightning (0.4, 1.2 million) ticked up to match its season premiere demo rating and log its largest L+SD audience for the season.
