The end of the month was strong for both How to Get Away with Murder and Legacies. However, everything else was mostly down in the Thursday TV ratings.

Feb. 28 proved a good date for a season finale. How to Get Away with Murder ended up after a sluggish Season 5. Meanwhile, Legacies saw a huge increase but other shows were mostly down. Here’s a look at the Thursday TV ratings.

Fam was the only show on CBS to get a new episode and it showed. The introduction of Shannon’s DJ ex, Jojo, pulled in 5.161 million eyeballs and a demo of 0.8. That’s the lowest of the series so far, but the average is still safe for now. The show is in the top 10 among CBS shows and was still stronger than NBC’s already-renewed comedy Will & Grace (which saw a dip in both metrics) and FOX’s The Orville. With other CBS shows airing reruns, it wouldn’t be surprising if fans thought Fam was a rerun too.

Grey’s Anatomy‘s milestone episode and A Million Little Things‘ season finale both saw dips in the demo. However, they both also held steady in the total audience. It’s not really going to be a problem for either. The feel-good freshman that had plenty of questions has been renewed for a second season and Grey’s Anatomy will likely be renewed.

How to Get Away with Murder was ABC’s best show, jumping up 11% in the demo and 9% in the total audience. Unfortunately, it may not be enough and that season finale may end up being the series finale. Maybe ABC will give the show one final send-off.

The freshly renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine saw a dip in its #MeToo-inspired episode, but there’s nothing to worry about there this year! It’s over to FOX and The CW, with The Orville and Legacies being the only two shows other than HtGAwM seeing an increase in both metrics.

Legacies took the night for biggest jumps, with a 40% increase in the demo and 20% increase in the total audience. These figures saw the show back up to its average, suggesting that fans just hadn’t realized a new episode was on last week when almost every other show was a rerun!
