FOX:  Airing with a much lower lead-in than in its December preview, STAR fell 0.6 to 1.6, still a fairly good number these days but far from exciting.  LETHAL WEAPON gave the premiere a 1.4 lead-in, steady with its last airing a month ago.

ABC:  All the sitcoms were above their last airings:  THE GOLDBERGS by 0.2 to 1.9, SPEECHLESS by 0.1 to 1.7, MODERN FAMILY by 0.3 to 2.3, and BLACK-ISH by 0.1 to 1.7.  MATCH GAME returned at 1.3, around the same level as recent DESIGNATED SURVIVOR episodes.

CBS:  UNDERCOVER BOSS was up 0.1 to 1.2.  CRIMINAL MINDS had a steady return at 1.3, and CODE BLACK rose 0.1 to 1.0.

NBC:  The line-up returned for the first time since mid-November, with BLINDSPOT up 0.1 to 1.1, and both SVU and CHICAGO PD up 0.2 to 1.5.

CW:  An 0.2 FREQUENCY followed an 0.3 ARROW rerun.

Tonight’s returnees include THE BLACKLIST, SUPERSTORE and THE GOOD PLACE.  On cable, NASHVILLE officially arrives on CMT with a 2-hour premiere (the first hour of which aired as a “preview” last month).  

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
