FOX enjoyed the fruits of an NFL overrun, giving its Sunday night lineup a healthy boost as a result. Empire saw a nice bump, up three tenths from last week. Star also rebounded from a season (if not series) low with a gain of couple of tenths last week. Lethal Weapon and The Gifted were also up, but it may be too little too late to save either program at this point.

The CW had a new king of the chart last week. With The Flash in reruns, Riverdale took the top spot. Supergirl and Supernatural flip-flopped their positions from last week. Arrow, Legacies, and Charmed were all down in ratings numbers but steady in viewership. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is apparently attempting to reach to dubious honor of a 0.0 rating before it ends its run; with thirteen episodes left, it might actually make it.
