The ratings are in and we have some bad news for fans of the new series ABC and NBC.
NBC: The Voice (11 million/2.2 rating) and This Is Us (10.9 million/2.9 rating) turned in solid numbers, but the series debut of Rise (5.7 million/1.3 rating) lost a lot of steam from its lead-in.
ABC: For the People (3.3 million/0.8 rating) was ABC's lowest-rated premiere in the slot in two years. The Middle (4.8 million/1.1 rating) and Black-ish (2.9 million/0.9 rating) slipped while Fresh off the Boat (3.1 million/0.9 rating) was steady.
The CW: The Flash (2.1 million/0.7 rating) and Black Lightning (1.5 million/0.5 rating) were steady.
CBS: NCIS (13 million/1.4 rating), Bull (10.6 million/1.2 rating) and NCIS: New Orleans (9.2 million/1.0 rating) were on par with their recent ratings.
Fox: LA to Vegas (2.1 million/0.7 rating) and The Mick (1.8 million/0.6 rating) were stable.
