The season finale of New Amsterdam scored season highs for NBC, tying its best 18-49 rating of 2019-20 and drawing its biggest total viewer count in more than a year. CBS' FBI: Most Wanted also improved, drawing its second-largest audience of the season, airing directly after NCIS.
The New Amsterdam finale is currently at a 1.0 rating in adults 18-49, tying the season premiere for its best same-day mark of the season. Its 5.93 million viewers are the most for the show since March 2019, subject to change because the finale ran long, ending at 10:10 p.m. Ellen's Game of Games (1.0 in 18-49, 4.97 million viewers) was off some from a week ago.

FBI: Most Wanted posted a 0.9 in adults 18-49 and just under 9 million viewers at 9 p.m., the second-best marks of the season in both measures. A second episode scored a 0.8 in the demo and 7.27 million viewers, topping its season averages. NCIS (1.2, 13.18 million) was the most watched show in primetime by a wide margin.
The next-to-last episode of Empire on Fox was on par with last week, earning a 0.7 in the 18-49 demo and 2.72 million viewers. A Masked Singer rerun aired at 8 p.m.
ABC's The Conners (1.0 in adults 18-49, 5.99 million viewers) and Bless This Mess (0.6, 3.55 million) were even with last week's demo ratings but declined a little in viewers. Mixed-ish (0.5, 2.56 million), Black-ish (0.5, 2.29 million) and For Life (0.5, 2.21 million) also came down slightly. The CW aired reruns.
