“Law & Order” Returns After 12 Years and Helps “SVU” Beat “Grey’s Anatomy” Thursday Block

Share

Once again, there is “Law & Order.”

The mothership show returned to NBC last night to a healthy 5.54 million viewers. It wasn’t the 7.6 million that “Law & Order” ended with in 2010. But that was a dozen years ago.

The return of the original helped boost “SVU” at 9pm with 5.0 million. The two shows won their key demos, as well.

NBC still finished second to CBS’s “Young Sheldon” block but handily beat ABC’s “Station 19” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”

The show that didn’t fare so well was “Organized Crime.” Even with all the “L&O” ballyhoo, Chris Meloni’s 10pm outing still lags behind under 4 million at 3.4 million. The only upside for “Organized Crime” is that it beat its own 10pm competition since no one has any idea what “Blue Sky” is, and “Bull” is coming to an end.
