Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 9/9/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• On finale night for The Carmichael Show (1.0/0.9), the comedy gave back all of last week's growth and then some, matching Mr. Robinson's finale night three weeks ago when lead-in America's Got Talent was a bit weaker (1.6 three weeks ago, 1.8 last night). Both comedies will end up with almost exactly the same very low-1's average, leaving the picture more unclear than ever. (Carmichael seems to have the buzz/critical advantage, which may make a difference when it's this close.)

• Also on NBC, the short Last Comic Standing season ended with a 1.1, down both from last week and from last year's 1.4 finale (though it may adjust up to match last week).

• On Fox, Home Free (1.1) wrapped up with what would be another new series high. Even if it ticks down in finals, the last few weeks seem to have solidified this as the least weak of Fox's unscripted newbie offerings this summer.

• CBS' Big Brother (2.1) may be able to adjust up and snap a three-week streak of 2.1 on Wednesday, while the two-hour finale of Extant (0.8/0.7) bounced back from last week's low but really did nothing unusual as it waits to hear its fate.

• CW's America's Next Top Model (0.6) had a big night in the often unreliable CW prelims; if it can hold, this is Top Model's best raw number since the 2013 season premiere.

Above based on preliminary adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted. Full table forthcoming!
