Ratings: Fire Country, S.W.A.T. Rebound With NCIS: Sydney Lead-In

CBS‘ Fire Country and S.W.A.T. this Friday night both rebounded from last week’s season-low audiences, which came out of a Grammys walk-up special.

Now leading off Friday night in its brand-new time slot, NCIS: Sydney‘s Season 2 premiere delivered 4.15 million total viewers, down 16% from its freshman run (which aired on a Monday night). TVLine readers gave the international offshoot’s return an average grade of “A-“; read our post mortem Q&A with showrunner Morgan O’Neill about the big Mackey reveal and her cozy hang with JD.

Leading out of NCIS: Sydney, Fire Country delivered 4.2 million total viewers, up 15% from last week. S.W.A.T. then closed out CBS’ night with 3.4 million total viewers, up 12% week-to-week but still well shy of the cancelled Blue Bloods’ fall average (5.07 mil).

Check back later this weekend (or maybe not until Monday, even) for the latest Happy’s Place and Shark Tank numbers, and to see how NBC’s Lopez vs. Lopez Season 3 finale fared.
