Ratings: ‘Titan Games’ Hits 4-Week High With Finale, but Historic ‘Grey’s’ Episode Tops Thursday
With “The Big Bang Theory” and “Young Sheldon” in reruns, the history-making 332nd episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” had an easy path to be Thursday’s No. 1 show.
While the Ellen Pompeo series — which just surpassed “E.R.” to become the longest-running medical drama ever — carried ABC’s full primetime lineup to a first place finish in demo ratings, CBS was still the most-watched network of the night.
Over on NBC, the season finale to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “Titan Games” competition posted a four-week high in Nielsen numbers. There were two other season finales during the night — ABC concluded “A Million Little Things” and “How to Get Away With Murder” on Thursday.
