This Is Us
NBC’s family drama hit dropped even more precipitously in the demo, losing 23 percent since last year, but it’s still No. 2 out of all broadcast shows. (And NBC has already greenlit two more seasons anyway.)

The veteran CBS newsmagazine is currently in fourth place out of all broadcast shows, its 18-to-49 demo ratings 16 percent higher than they were last year.
The Simpsons
The animated Fox hit, which was renewed for a 32nd season way back in February, has risen more than 14 percent in viewership since last year.

A far younger Fox animated comedy, this show currently ranks as the best-rated new series on broadcast TV in the 18-to-49 demographic.
Bless This Mess
In other #blessed news, ABC’s Lake Bell-Dax Shepard comedy has not only resisted the sophomore slump but improved its ratings since last year, rising nearly 9 percent in the 18-to-49 demo and nearly 10 percent in total viewership.

The freshman CW superhero show, starring Ruby Rose as Gotham’s newest caped crusader, got a full season order in October after becoming the network’s No. 2 show, per TV By the Numbers.
