In the latest TV show ratings, NBC’s Law & Order: SVU this Thursday drew 4.7 million total viewers and a 0.9 rating, down sharply (and understandably) from last week’s well-hyped crossover event, but still tying ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy for the nightly demo win.

Organized Crime (4.7 mil/0.8, read recap) was also down markedly, while NBC leadoff Manifest (3.1 mil/0.5, read post mortem) dipped to hit and match series lows.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Warning: Contents may be hot!
