Sunday's television ratings saw an interesting mix of successes and challenges as various shows made their mark on the TV landscape.
CBS's Tracker, a new addition to the network’s Sunday lineup, surged to the top of the ratings with strong viewership numbers. The series tied for the highest ratings in the crucial 18-49 demographic, making it the standout program of the night. The show’s ability to attract a wide audience suggests it could become a reliable performer for CBS going forward, adding yet another hit to the network’s roster.
Meanwhile, NBC launched its new spinoff, Suits LA. The series, which takes the legal drama of Suits to a new setting, premiered with 2.6 million viewers. While it didn’t quite capture the same level of attention as its parent series, the numbers were decent, albeit on the lower side for a premiere. The show may need to build more momentum in the coming weeks if it hopes to match the success of Suits in its earlier seasons.
On the other hand, Watson, the CBS crime drama centered around a modern-day adaptation of the famous Sherlock Holmes character, experienced a slight drop in viewership. The show’s debut attracted 1.60 million viewers, marking a decrease from the 1.74 million viewers it drew in the previous week. Though not a disastrous decline, it raises questions about the show’s long-term sustainability. CBS may need to find ways to maintain or grow its audience if it hopes to see Watson become a lasting success.
Overall, the night was marked by a solid performance from Tracker, which dominated the evening's viewership, while Suits LA and Watson offered more mixed results. As the season progresses, the real question will be whether Suits LA can improve upon its lukewarm debut, and whether Watson can recapture its initial audience or risk falling off CBS’s primetime slate.
