Ratings Roundup for the Week of November 10, 2024

Well maybe if these new shows weren't off for two months they might keep their audience. They have more breaks than schools do
Welcome to the new normal. Before streamers, networks would air 22-24 episodes over a Fall and Spring season and sprinkle in some reruns when necessary to fill out the schedules. Today, repeats are network nadir, and episode counts are smaller. (Eighteen episodes is considered a "full" season by network execs today). So instead of a Fall and Spring season of 12-13 episodes each, there is:
A fall season (September to November)
A 'holiday season' (November-December) where all of the holiday-specific competition shows and annual holiday classics air
A winter season (that's January to March)
And a spring season (March to May)
All of this is to try and compete more with streamers and not air repeats.

I’m liking St. Denis Medical so far, I’m curious to see if the rest of the episodes are as entertaining as the first two. Of the new ones I’m watching on Fox, I’m enjoying Murder in a Small Town a little bit more than Rescue Hi-Surf.
St Denis Medical was off to a good start last week. Hopefully it holds onto that audience. NBC needs some good comedies.
I'm enjoying it too. It's the only new network show I'm watching. Still not really sure about Austin Stowell as the younger Gibbs, but they nailed Franks with Kyle Schmid. It's also fun to see early 1990s tech and the team solving crimes without all of Abby and McGee's high-tech toys. Hopefully it gets a chance to develop.
