On Thursday night, it was a pretty down for most shows except for TGIT. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory started things out down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low (by two tenths). At 8:30pm, The Great Indoors was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It had better retention this week and was up big from its one-off Monday airing earlier in the week. At 9pm, Mom was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low. Life in Pieces was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Then at 10pm, The Amazing Race had an earlier than planned premiere as it replaced Training Day with its first return to the 10pm hour in years. It hit a series low in viewers and tied one in the demo but was an improvement on recent Training Day numbers. On ABC, all three dramas were up. Grey's Anatomy started things off down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Scandal was up 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best demo performance since February 16 and best viewer total since the season premiere. At 10pm, The Catch was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

It was a pretty rough start to NBC's night after a repeat of Superstore. After being pulled at the last minute for Trial & Error repeats the last two weeks, Powerless was finally back and down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a series low. It's obvious this is getting cancelled but I'm not even sure NBC will let it air again in this slot especially considering what happened to Chicago Med at 9pm. Med was down 1.4 million viewers and a really rough half a demo point to a new series low. This is also the first time ever a Chicago show has gone below a 1.0 demo. Med has a been on a wild demo run its last several episodes going 1.2, 1.7, 1.1, 1.4, and finally 0.9. Despite the troubles earlier in the night, The Blacklist: Redemption was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best performance since March 2. On FOX, Masterchef Junior was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Kicking & Screaming was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally the CW Thursday lineup was back for the first time since March 9. Supernatural was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Riverdale was even with its last airing.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Scandal (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Powerless (NBC)
