The CW wrapped up fifteen seasons of Supernatural last week. The Winchester's final hurrah and the pre-finale special both topped more than a million viewers, some of the best viewer numbers the show has had in the last couple of years.

ABC premiered Big Sky last week. The new crime drama opened with okay numbers, if it can hold on to its audience, it should be fine. A Million Little Things premiered its third season about where it ended up in the spring. For Life opened its second season where it ended in the spring with the same woefully low numbers. Chances are not good for it to last. Grey's Anatomy was even, Station 19 lost two tenths off its premiere.

CBS premiered more of its regular schedule last week. NCIS premiered its eighteenth season, down not only from its premiere last fall but three tenths off where it ended in the spring for the first sub 1.0 rating in a long time for the series. All Rise and Bull opened low as well. CBS has a tendency to renew dramas even if they only gain mediocre audience numbers, so unless the wheels completely fall off, both are probably safe. SWAT lost a tenth off its premiere. If it doesn't come up at least a little all of the goodwill in the world won't be enough to save it. B Positive gained a tenth last week, keeping it on par with other network comedies.

The fall network season has, finally, arrived. So what are you watching this season?
Written by LadyShelley on Nov 23, 2020
Going to miss Supernatural! So glad my Chicago's are still going.
It's amazing things even got off the ground this Fall with everything going on this year! Thanks for writing these articles.
Imports are programs networks bought to plug holes in their schedules due to COVID restrictions on filming. Some are from other countries (such as Transplant or Coroner) other are brought over from streaming services the network also owns (ST: Discovery and Swamp Thing for example). They are essentially repeats, and viewer numbers for these shows have zero impact since the networks are retransmitting someone else's product.
Can we have an explanation for what "Import" means under Renew/Cancel?
