Ratings: On-the-Bubble Not Dead Yet Steady With Finale
In the latest TV ratings: With NBC’s #OneChicago in rerun mode one final time this season, CBS’ Survivor dominated Wednesday both in total audience and in the demo.
CBS | Survivor (with 4.9 million total viewers and a 0.7 demo rating) was down a tick in both measures, while The Amazing Race (2.8 mil/0.3) only dropped some eyeballs.
ABC | The Conners (3.2 mil/0.3) lost a few viewers, but Not Dead Yet (2.2 mil/0.2) was steady with its season (series?) finale. TVLine readers gave both the finale and Season 2 an average grade of “A.”
Season-to-date, Not Dead Yet is averaging 2.7 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), down 21% and 40% from its freshman run. Among the three sitcoms that ABC has aired this TV season, it ranks last in both measures. Get Gina Rodriguez’s thoughts on the sophomore sitcom’s future.
FOX | The Masked Singer (3.4 mil/0.4, read recap) and Animal Control (1.4 mil/0.2) were both steady.
THE CW | Walker (548K) and Sight Unseen (350K) both rose to their second-best audiences of their young seasons.

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.
I hope that’s enough to get another season for Not Dead Yet. I really loved the finale. Arguably it’s best episode yet.
Please renew Not Dead Yet. It’s a cute show with a good cast.
Renew Not Dead Yet! It’s just a cute, loving show. Gina and Lauren are amazing in their roles.
“Walker (548K) and Sight Unseen (350K) both rose to their second-best audiences of their young seasons.”
Good going, Walker.
This is my favorite show right now. Leave it alone.
Given ABC’s penchant for cancelling promising series, I suspect this will be it’s last season. That will really be disappointing, as there’s so little creative material to watch on network tv. Prove me wrong, ABC!
This is turning out to be a great season of Survivor. Surprised the ratings are not better. That was a very good episode with a very disappointing vote out. Shouldn’t have happened if the evictee played it better.
Forget Tim Allen new show
Renew Not Dead Yet ABC
You really need tim Allen’s new show to come on, otherwise abc will only have a comedy hour, no way ndy would be part of that, if you get Tim’s show they’ll keep 2hr block, will at least need for fall if numbers improve could get back end
Walker is good, but not as good as Walker:Independence. Sight Unseen is getting better with each episode. Not Dead Yet’s season finale was by far the best episode of the series. Because I actually enjoy these series, I doubt that they will be renewed. And the networks wonder why fan viewing is down.
I really hope Not Dead Yet is done airing because it’s a really great show! I have been constantly waiting for more seasons and episodes of this show because of how great it is. I don’t want it to end just yet i need more seasons!!!
