Ratings: ‘Legacies’ Series Premiere Isn’t Much of a Benefactor for CW

The CW finished in last-place last night in ratings despite debuting its “Vampire Diaries”-“Originals” spinoff, “Legacies.”

With “Grey’s Anatomy” back on its airwaves, ABC made it back to third place on Thursday, when Fox predictably won with its NFL football rights. “The Big Bang Theory” led CBS to a silver-medal finish.

Due to the nature of live sports, the below fast-national numbers for Fox are subject to significant adjustment.
