On a night where most shows had trouble picking up steam, dipping from their previous week’s ratings, Chicago Fire managed to hold its own. The NBC series brought in 6.3 million viewers at 10 p.m., and scored a 1.1 in the demo ratings.
The network’s hit comedy Superstore (4.2 mil/1.1) also managed to stay steady this week. The rest of NBC’s lineup – The Good Place (3.9 mil/1.1), Will & Grace (6.5 mil/1.7) and Great News (3.8 mil/0.8) – saw very slight dips from last Thursday.

The annual presentations of The Great Pumpkin (6 mil/1.4) and Toy Story of TERROR! (4.8 mil/1.1) were down from last year’s presentations.
