Theresa Caputo on Doing Masked-Readings Mid-Pandemic: 'Spirit Can Still Communicate'

Theresa Caputo’s new podcast “Hey Spirit!” captures audio from her sessions with remote clients

Fall is the big time for broadcast, when NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox traditionally debut their most promising new dramas and comedies in hopes of kicking off the Nielsen season strong. And though there are far fewer freshman shows airing in the time of corona, the Big 4 have managed to roll out some new series (and a few acquired titles that are new to them) over the last few weeks. Click through our gallery to see how fall 2020’s new series rank by premiere viewership, and check back to see the results change as more shows debut.

Fox/ABC/NBC

  • Rank:  10       Show:  “Manhunt: Deadly Games”*    Net: CBS         Total Viewers: 1.570 million

    *”Manhunt: Deadly Games” previously aired on Spectrum Originals earlier this year. But either way, this tally is a death sentence.

    CBS

  • Rank:  9       Show:  “Cosmos: Possible Worlds”*    Net: Fox         Total Viewers: 1.582 million

    *”Cosmos: Possible Worlds” first aired on Nat Geo Channel before making its way to broadcast television. Perhaps it should have stayed on cable. 

    Fox

  • Rank:  8       Show:  “Connecting…”   Net: NBC         Total Viewers: 1.646 million         Didn’t really connect with all that many people.

    NBC

  • Rank:  7        Show:  “neXt”    Net: Fox        Total Viewers: 1.768 million

    Nah, next. 

    Fox

  • Rank:  6       Show:  “The Con”    Net: ABC         Total Viewers: 2.282 million

    ABC

  • Rank:  5       Show:  “Filthy Rich”    Net: Fox         Total Viewers: 2.871 million

    Off to kind of a poor start. 

    Fox

  • Rank:  4       Show:  “L.A’s Finest”*    Net: Fox         Total Viewers: 2.881 million

    *”L.A.’s Finest” Season 1 already ran on Spectrum, so these numbers are…fine.

    Fox

  • Rank:  3       Show:  “Emergency Call”    Net: ABC         Total Viewers: 4.267 million  Not “9-1-1,” but this will do. 

    ABC

  • Rank:  2      Show:  “I Can See Your Voice”    Net: Fox         Total Viewers: 4.457 million

      We can see the “Masked Singer” bump this Ken Jeong-hosted competition is getting. 

    FOX

  • Rank:  1       Show:  “The Weakest Link”    Net: NBC        Total Viewers: 6.067 million.   The strongest of the bunch — so far. 

    NBC

    • Yes, there are new fall shows this season — though not a ton of you are watching them
