ABC wrapped the latest season of The Golden Bachelor last week. The romance reality show picked up six hundred thousand viewers for its finale. It may squeak another season since it's a cheaper show to produce, but its chances are low. 9-1-1 and its spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, each lost three hundred thousand viewers last week. 9-1-1 isn't in any danger. Nashville should be okay just on the basis of the network wanting some sort of franchise identifier for the network. Grey's Anatomy lost another two hundred thousand viewers last week. It has been sitting at the bottom of the ratings chart all season, and network execs must be asking some serious questions about its future at this point.

Law & Order returned after a week off, down one hundred thousand viewers. Law & Order: SVU was down two hundred thousand viewers. Chicago Med was up two hundred thousand viewers. Fire and PD were up one hundred thousand viewers. The Law & Order and One Chicago shows are now on hiatus until January. St Denis Medical was down a little from its premiere, but is likely in no danger. Happy's Place lost two hundred thousand viewers off its premiere, but should be okay as long as it doesn't lose any more viewers. Stumble tumbled in its second week, losing half a million viewers it couldn't really afford.

FOX enjoyed a healthy NFL overrun last Sunday, which bumped the Sunday animated shows. Universal Basic Guys and The Simpsons swapped slots, which popped Universal Basic's viewership by several million. Time will tell if that will translate to viewer retention when there isn't an NFL game to help. Murder in a Small Town picked up two hundred thousand viewers. Doc returned after two weeks off, up one hundred thousand viewers.
