TGIT returned on Thursday, Sept. 30, while Law & Order brought us a three-hour crossover event. Here’s a look at the live TV ratings for the night.

Thursdays are a tricky night. Usually, we see TGIT take the top-spot for most of the night, but that wasn’t the case on Thursday, Sept. 30. This could be linked to fans not realizing the shows were back. Despite consistent promotion, it’s easy to forget the return dates.

Law & Order: SVU pulled in the best demo of the night. That demo was up 1% from the two-hour season premiere, which is great news. The audience was down 15% but nothing to be concerned about.

The success for NBC continued throughout the night. Law & Order: Organized Crime was up 16% in the demo and 2% in the audience. The demo matched Grey’s Anatomy and the total audience wasn’t that far off. In its second hour, it lost a small amount of the total audience, but the demo remained steady.

TGIT sees a dip in the live TV ratings

Station 19 kicked off TGIT with its Season 5 premiere. The total audience was the best of the night, but it was down 27% compared to the Season 4 premiere. The demo sat at 0.7 but was a 42% decline from the Season 4 premiere.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 18’s premiere was also down considerably from its Season 17 premiere. Its demo was down by almost 50%, while its total audience was down by 21%.

These figures aren’t concerning just yet. They’re still strong numbers for ABC, and the two shows were still among the best in both the demo and total audience during the night.

Big Sky is the show we’re watching out for. The good news is the demo and total audience matched the series premiere. If ABC was happy with the first season, this is good news for the second season. We’ll have to see how the show stabilizes in its new timeslot, though.

The CW was the only other network with new episodes of regular shows. Coroner was up 25% in the demo and 23% in the total audience. This is a great sign and we’ll likely see The CW acquire the fourth season from CBC. The Outpost was up 100% in the demo and up 64% in the total audience.

We’ll be keeping an eye on the various shows. There’s nothing to worry about so far, but Big Sky is the one we’re keeping the closest eye on.
