CBS saw NCIS go up 8% to 1.4 and FBI grow 10% to 1.1, then NCIS: New Orleans was a level 0.9.

ABC did a 0.9/4. The Conners fell 17% to 1.5 and The Kids Are Alright was down 23% to 1.0, then Black-ish dropped 9% to 1.0 and Splitting Up Together decreased 22% to 0.7. The Rookie also lost 22% for a 0.7.

Fox got a 0.6/3. The Gifted and Lethal Weapon both scored a 0.6, the pair down a tenth of a point from last week.

The CW did a 0.5/2. The Flash got a 0.6 and Black Lightning a 0.3, both shows flat.

Univision did a 0.5/2 and Telemundo a 0.4/2.
