Ratings Roundup for the Week of February 9, 2025

Ratings numbers were delayed due to the President's Day holiday.

________________

FOX scored big with the Super Bowl last week. The game posted its highest ratings in recent memory. The Floor premiered its latest season after the game, but while it had big numbers for its premiere, that audience did not follow the game show to its regular night. Its second episode for the week was even with its ratings in December. New reality show, Extracted, opened with okay numbers. The test will be to see if that audience returns this week. The Masked Singer opened its latest season even with where it was in December. Next Level Chef picked up six hundred thousand viewers from its finale last May. Doc gained one hundred thousand viewers. Rescue HI-Surf was down two hundred thousand viewers. Going Dutch pulled fewer than a million viewers last week and is likely done.

ABC wrapped the first season of High Potential with good numbers. The series was up three hundred thousand viewers. Shifting Gears picked up two hundred thousand viewers and will easily be renewed. Will Trent was up four hundred thousand viewers. It's in no danger and will be renewed. The Rookie was up two hundred thousand viewers. While the Nathan Fillion-led series is the lowest-rated drama currently on the network, it is doing better than freshman series, Doctor Odyssey and Grey's Anatomy. It's an older series, but chances are it will be renewed.

NBC finally aired the second episode of The Hunting Party last week. The plan of pushing the premiere episode for a couple of weeks on various nights seemingly backfired, though. The second episode was down two ratings tenths and two hundred thousand viewers from its original premiere. If its numbers don't improve, it will join the list of The Irrational, Found, and Brilliant Minds as low-hanging cancellation fruit. Speaking of, The Irrational picked up two hundred thousand viewers last week, but it's likely too little too late. Found was up a few tens of thousands of viewers. Night Court picked up three hundred thousand viewers. St Denis Medical was up one hundred thousand viewers.

Several freshman shows are not performing well this season. It could be interesting come the Upfronts in May to see what gets renewed and what doesn't. How did your favorite shows fare last week?
