TV: “Roseanne” Episode with Muslim Neighbors Beaten Handily by “NCIS” Season Finale Whopping 14.8 Mil

Share

Bringing on Muslim neighbors didn’t do much for the “Roseanne” ratings last night. They were pretty much the same as last week, with 10.1 million viewers tuning in. The good news is that there wasn’t a huge drop off. But “Roseanne” did lose 300,000 viewers from last week, and that’s significant.

Still, for the night, “Roseanne” was not the biggest event. That honor went to “NCIS” with nearly 15 million people tuning in for the season finale and exit of two characters. So five million more people went for Pauley Perrette’s goodbye over Roseanne and co.

“Bull” on CBS followed with 11.8 million viewers, pushing “Roseanne” to third place for the night.
