Monday night saw the return of four CBS series to decent numbers.
All four were back a little later than usual in the broadcast season due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, “The Neighborhood” in particular delivered a solid ratings performance, scoring a 0.9 among adults 18-49 and drawing just over 6 million total viewers. That rating was enough to top the night ahead of “The Voice” and “Dancing With the Stars,” both of which scored a 0.8 rating.
After “Neighborhood,” “Bob Hearts Abishola” returned for season 2 to a 0.7 rating and 5.6 million total viewers, which is only a avery slight decline from its series premiere numbers last year. Fellow sophomore series “All Rise” scored a 0.6 but didn’t fare quite so well in the audience department, premiering to 4.6 million viewers, which is just above a series low. A part-musical season premiere for “Bull” didn’t hit the right notes, falling to a series low 4.9 million viewers and a 0.5 rating.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” season 17 premiere heralded the return of Patrick Dempsey as Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd in an extended dream sequence.
Dempsey’s shocking appearance helped the ABC show top the Thursday night ratings charts, delivering a 1.3 average rating among adults 18-49 across its two-hour premiere and 5.7 million total viewers. While that was enough to see off the scripted competition, it does represent a slight 13% dip from the season 16 premiere. For further comparison, last season’s finale scored a 1.4 rating and 7.3 million viewers. Earlier on, fellow Shondaland drama “Station 19” premiere its fourth season even on the previous edition. The show scored a 1.1 rating and 6.3 million total viewers, beating the season 3 premiere by over 1 million pairs of eyeballs.
