Preliminary Ratings: Thursday 01/19/2017

CBS sweeps the Thursday night ratings, posting the four most watched programs of the night and the top four programs in the younger demographic ratings. But, CBS also had the lowest rated original program of the night, PURE GENIUS, placing third in the 10 PM hour.

The season finale of the NBC comedy, THE GOOD PLACE, ranked third in the 8 PM hour, behind the CBS comedies and FOX's HELL'S KITCHEN. The series was average, at best, in the ratings. It may have a 50/50 chance of returning in the fall.

Week two of the FOX competition series, MY KITCHEN RULES, remained flat, week-to-week. HELL'S KITCHEN was up slightly in the A18-34 and A18-49 demos.

ABC and The CW were in repeat mode, before the February sweeps begin next Thursday.
