Here's a look at Week #28!
ABC
ABC was extremely busy with premieres in March and they have one more for April, The Crossing, which premieres Monday night at 10pm. With little buzz and airing against the NCAA Championship Game, it will certainly be no The Good Doctor, but I think it may even struggle to hit a 1.0 demo. Roseanne had a mammoth premiere and even if it drops half of its audience, it will still be huge. I'm guessing somewhere around a 3.0 demo and maybe 12-14 million viewers. It should help The Middle get a nice boost for its beginning of the final run of episodes. It will also be interesting to see how the next episodes of Splitting Up Together, Alex, Inc., and Station 19 fare.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS renewed freshman dramas SEAL Team and S.W.A.T. for a second season. Neither one was a huge surprise despite middling ratings because SEAL Team has been a big priority for CBS and S.W.A.T. has arguably over-performed in its Thursday timeslot. I think S.W.A.T. deserved the renewal but I may have cut ties with SEAL Team if I was in charge. It was completely set up for success and hasn't done much with its good timeslot. The two freshman dramas join The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon on the CBS renewal list for next year.
- After posting a 0.1 demo in just its fourth episode, the CW will be benching Life Sentence to Fridays after one more Wednesday airing. In its place will be the fifth and final season of The Originals, which was originally planned for Fridays. It will premiere on April 18 while Life Sentence will begin its Friday run on April 27.
- After its mammoth premiere this week, ABC moved quickly and renewed Roseanne on Friday for 2018-19. It will be the second season of the revival and 11th overall for the comedy. Season 2 will be for 13 episodes, which is up from the 9 they will air this season.
