Broadcast primetime live + same-day ratings for Thursday, November 14, 2019

Note: FOXs live NFL broadcast may result in greater adjustments than usual for the network in the finals later today.

The numbers for Thursday:

Thursdays primetime ratings winners stayed the same week-to-week.

ABCs Greys Anatomy remained the nights highest-rated scripted show, with the same 1.3 rating in adults 18-49 that it scored a week ago. A Million Little Things followed it with a 0.8 rating for the second week in a row, while How to Get Away with Murder (0.5) ticked up one-tenth from its last episode.

CBS Young Sheldon once again raked in the largest audience (8.98 million viewers) of any of the nights scripted shows, and rose from its previous 1.1 to a season high 1.2 rating. Mom similarly hit a new season high in the 18-49 demo, after ticking up from a 0.8 to a 0.9. The Unicorn (0.7) and Carols Second Act (0.6), however, both slipped a tenth from their most recent outings, and Evil held steady with another 0.5 in the 10 p.m. hour.

On NBC, Superstore (0.7) and The Good Place (0.6) both stayed even week-to-week. Law & Order: SVU (0.7) managed to climb up a tick, but the same could not be said for Perfect Harmony (0.4) or Will & Grace (0.4), both of which fell one-tenth from their episodes last week.

Elsewhere, the CWs Supernatural maintained its previous 0.3 rating, and Legacies (0.3) ticked up a tenth. Meanwhile, FOXs broadcast of the Thursday Night Football game between Pittsburgh and Cleveland topped the night with a 3.3 rating and 11.65 million viewers. Pending updates, that puts the game notably up from the 2.6 preliminary rating and 9.42 million viewer audience that last weeks TNF game scored.

Definitions:

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute.

Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing.
