The fall season of the big five networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW)

The fall season of the big five networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW)

Since twenty years ago, ABC has once again become the best-watched entertainment network of the season. The two highest scoring new series come from CBS.
The fall season of 2020 wasn't like all the other seasons. It was hit by the lockdown(s) and the accompanying halted productions of series and other programmes. Very few new series have been released, but the ones that were released were pretty good. Big Sky from ABC and I Can See Your Voice from FOX are the highest-scoring in the age category of 18 till 49. Taking into account everything, Big Sky is also the series with the most viewers with 8 million in total. After that, CBS' B Positive follows with 6 million viewers. Both series have already been renewed with a second season. Next to that, quite a few series were also cancelled/concluded. For example, the final season of Supernatural aired on The CW.

NBC was the best-watched network of the season. It attained this title due to the series This Is Us and the programme Sunday Night Football. Not taking into account the news and sports programmes, ABC is the best-watched (5.1 million) entertainment network of the past season. The last time ABC ended up on top was during the 2000-2001 season. After more than twenty years, the network has finally reached this point again.

The success of ABC was mainly caused by the programme The Bachelorette, which had its final season delayed due to the pandemic. It was the fourth best-scoring entertainment programme of this fall in the category of 18 till 49 years. NBC's This Is Us came in third and FOX's The Masked Singer came in second. ABC's Grey's Anatomy came in as number one. Generally, CBS' NCIS was the best-watched programme overall, if football and news programmes aren't taken into account. FBI ended on the fourth spot, with an average of eleven million viewers. This Is Us (11.1 million) acquired the third spot and the programme 60 Minutes (11.9 million) came in second.
