How Are Your Favorite Returning Fall Shows Doing? A Look at the Ratings

Now that we’re a couple months (and about six to nine episodes) into the 2021-2022 season, it’s the best time to check in our returning favorites.

How are the long-running shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Law & Order: SVU doing? How about the series with major exits at the end of last season or in this one, like NCIS, The Resident, and The Blacklist? What about those that have moved nights, like NCIS, several CW favorites, and SEAL Team (before its move to Paramount+)? How have competition shows like The Voice, Dancing With the Stars, and The Bachelorette done airing opposite one another?
