NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13 Debuts With Stable Ratings!
Deadline reports.
Football returned strong to primetime last night as NBC’s Sunday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs led the pack in both demo rating and viewership.

The latest 60 Minutes (1.1, 9.01M), which came after last week’s notable Facebook whistleblower installment, was the most-watched non-sports program.

The Queen Latifah-starring drama returned for its Season 2 premiere (0.7, 7.47M), drawing in just a fraction of its debut audience during its post-Super Bowl spot in February (5.1, 20.4M), understandably so. NCIS: Los Angeles’ Season 13 debut (0.6, 5.93M) fell from its previous season opener November 2020 premiere by two tenths in demo rating and 15% in viewers. SEAL Team (0.5, 3.87M) also made its return…
The main flagship NCIS show and NCIS: Hawaii compete with Monday Night Football and NCIS: LA competes against Sunday Night Football; thank goodness for PVR and streaming.
