8 | Accused | 2.35 million | 0.22 | Down 38% and 63% from Season 1 (which aired Jan-May 2023); broadcast’s least-watched and lowest-rated non-CW drama |
9 | College Sports Friday | 2.3 million | 0.50 | Drawing a 21% larger audience than WWE Friday Night SmackDown, but down 29% in demo |
10 | The Simpsons | 1.83 million | 0.50 | Down 37% from Fall 2023 |
11 | Universal Basic Guys | 1.82 million | 0.50 | Down 10% and a tenth from Krapopolis (The Simpsons‘ Fall 2023 lead-out); Broadcast’s least-watched new non-CW program |
12 | College Sports Saturday | 1.7 million | 0.40 | |
13 | Crime Scene Kitchen | 1.6 million | 0.24 | Steady in audience/down a tenth in demo from summer 2023 season; broadcast’s least-watched non-CW reality show |
14 | Bob’s Burgers | 1.2 million | 0.37 | Down 14% and 23% from Fall 2023 |
15 | Krapopolis | 807,000 | 0.21 | Down a good 50% from Fall 2023; broadcast’s least-watched, lowest-rated non-CW program |
THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: Yes, it’s true: 9-1-1: Lone Star — Fox’s most-watched non-sports program — has just three episodes left to air. (The 9-1-1 offshoot would rank ahead of Grey’s Anatomy on ABC’s report card, I’m just saying.) A stabilized Masked Singer and newly christened Super Bowl lead-out The Floor are reliable performers. Looking at the state of animation above, you have to imagine that serious conversations are being had about the ‘toons currently in flux at Fox. On deck for January/February are new seasons of Animal Control, Kitchen Nightmares, Special Forces and Next Level Chef, plus the freshman series Doc and Going Dutch; still MIA are the next seasons of Family Guy, The Cleaning Lady and Alert: MPU.
Which of Fox’s rankings most surprises or pleases you?
