Ratings: 9-1-1 Dips With #Madney Wedding, Still Ties for Thursday Demo Win
In the latest TV ratings, CBS’ Young Sheldon was Thursday’s most-watched program and landed in a three-way tie for the nightly demo win.
CBS | Young Sheldon (with 7.2 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating) was up in both measures, Ghosts (6 mil/0.5, average TVLine reader grade “A”, read post mortem) was steady with its Season 2 finale, So Help Me Todd (4.2 mil/0.3) dropped some eyeballs, and Elsbeth (4.2 mil/0.3) rose in the demo.
NBC | Law & Order (3.8 mil/0.3), SVU (4.3 mil/0.4, read recap) and Organized Crime (2.6 mil/0.2) were all down.
ABC | 9-1-1 (4.3 mil/0.5, TVLine reader grade “A-“, read post mortem), Grey’s Anatomy (2.9 mil/0.4, read recap and finale preview) and Station 19 (2.2 mil/0.2) all dipped.
FOX | Next Level Chef (1.7 mil/0.3) and Farmer Wants a Wife (1.9 mil/0.2) were both steady.
THE CW | Patti Stanger: Matchmaker (320K) lost some viewers, while Lovers and Liars (170K) added some.

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.
*TVLine reader grade “A-“* — I don’t see a poll for 9-1-1 (when I use my computer). I have my adblocker paused for the site and I still don’t see it. (I do see it when I use my phone without the adblocker paused though.)

Please help me understand: So Help Me Todd has more viewers than GA, yet So Help Me Todd is cancelled.
It’s all about the demo
They’re on different networks and therefore make different financial decisions. CBS has higher viewership all around and therefore Todd faces stiffer competition for a spot
I just love the show ghost it is one of the best and I guarantee you this show is not going to go up there just like Gilligan’s Island and Dream of Jeannie did way back when
