Ratings: SVU Hits 2-Month Audience High, Ties for Thursday Demo Win

In the latest TV ratings: With ABC in rerun mode, CBS’ Young Sheldon was far and away Thursday’s most-watched show, while landing in a three-way tie for the nightly demo win.

CBS | Young Sheldon (with 7.2 million total viewers and a 0.5 rating) was down a tick in both measures, Ghosts (6.2 mil/0.5) and So Help Me Todd (4.6 mil/0.3) each added viewers yet dipped in the demo, and the newly renewed Elsbeth (4.3 mil/0.3) was steady.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in TVLine’s daily-ish ratings column do NOT reflect a television program’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless specifically denoted in bold as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives.
