“Batwoman” was up against two unfamiliar foes in the NFL and the World Series in the Sunday night TV ratings, yet the CW show managed to remain stable week-to-week.
The Ruby Rose show scored a 0.3 rating among adults 18-49 and was watched by 1.26 million total viewers, almost exactly the same as in both metrics last week. “Supergirl” came in roughly even on last week too, with a 0.2 rating and 984,000 total viewers.
On ABC, “Kids Say the Darndest Things” shed almost 1 million total viewers from last week and posted a 0.6 rating in the 8 p.m. time slot. “Shark Tank” followed it up with a 0.5 rating and 2.8 million total viewers, and “The Rookie” rounded off the night up a fraction on last week at a 0.6. An encore of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” drew a 0.7 rating and 3.6 million sets of eyeballs.
“60 Minutes” benefited once again from an NFL overrun on CBS to score a whopping 2.3 rating and 12.2 million total viewers. “God Friended Me” was the highest rated scripted show on Sunday night for the Eye, posting a 0.6 rating, followed by “NCIS: Los Angeles” with a 0.7 and finally “Madam Secretary” with a 0.5.
In an intriguing battle between two of America’s favorite sports, “Sunday Night Football” perhaps unsurprisingly scored a higher rating and drew more viewers on NBC than game 5 of the World Series on Fox.
Early numbers for the World Series game, which saw the Houston Astros take a 3-2 lead over the Washington Nationals, put it at a 2.4 average rating and 10.2 million total viewers to the 5.1 rating and 16.2 million of “SNF,” which saw Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers emerge victorious over a Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs. All those numbers are subject to significant adjustment given the nature of live sports ratings.
