ABC:  ROSEANNE slipped 0.1 to 3.4, although that tied last week’s preliminary number.  A special ALEX INC. was up 0.3 from last Wednesday’s episode, but at 1.2 it was down a whopping 0.8 from last week’s post-ROSEANNE episode of THE MIDDLE.  With a lower lead-in, both BLACK-ISH (1.1) and SPLITTING UP TOGETHER (1.0) were down 0.2.  FOR THE PEOPLE stayed at 0.6.

CW:  THE FLASH (0.6) and the season finale of BLACK LIGHTNING (0.5) were steady with last week.

FOX:  LETHAL WEAPON fell 0.2 to a new low 0.7, and both LA TO VEGAS (0.6) and NEW GIRL (0.6) were down 0.1.

NBC:  THE VOICE was up 0.2 from last week’s clip show to 1.5.  RISE remained at 0.8, and CHICAGO MED gained 0.1 to 1.2.

CW:  Returning from a week off, NCIS dropped 0.2 to a new series low 1.1, BULL was down 0.1 to 1.1, and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS was also down 0.1 to 0.8.

Broadcast series premiering at this point will air the bulk of their episodes after the regular season is over.  The first of these quasi-summer arrivals is the final season of CW’s THE ORIGINALS.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
