Ratings Roundup for the Week of October 26, 2025

Brilliant Minds was one of the few shows to survive the NBC slaughter to make room for NBA basketball. Sadly, chances are it won't squeak another season unless there are some drastic changes in the numbers. NBC is saddled with that NBA contract for the next ten years, so there isn't much wiggle room in their schedules to try and move the show around to find an audience. 

I think that one of the reasons Brilliant Minds survived for a 2nd season, despite being on the lower sider of ratings chart in the first season was the breakout success of The Pitt mere days after it finished airing. They have even made major changes in the show to match The Pitt's energy like having two main ER characters and far ER scenes and producers when they were near zero in the first season .I think NBC was hoping that maybe this brand new medical drama would be able to capture some of that audience, but, alas it appears to have failed to do it. Getting audience of under 2 million is way to low and I think show's 7 day delay numbers would be very low too. But, it is not like NBA numbers are great, they are only average so far. I don't think general audience care about NBA until the Playoffs.
