AND: Still no AMAZON “Thursday Night Football” NIELSEN numbers as the day starts… 6 days later. Yeah not suspect at all. Guys, the next game is literally tomorrow night.

Oh BTW here are the numbers for… Monday night:

  • CBS: “The Neighborhood”: 4.8 Million, “Bob Hearts Abishola”: 4.4 Million, “NCIS: Hawai’i” (5.3 Million)… all down over 10% vs last year.

    • And“NCIS”: 5.8 Million, -31% vs last year’s premiere.

  • FOX: “911”: 4.8 Million (about even from last year), “The Cleaning Lady”: 2.4 Million, -24% from its average last season.

  • Although all of this wasn’t helped by…

    • ABC: “Monday Night Football”: 12.9 Million, with 7.9 Million on ESPN/2 for the other game, about the same total as the previous week when… they both just aired the same game.

  • OF NOTE: NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” PACKERS / BEARS blowout hit 20.8 Million viewers, including 1.3 Million streamers on PEACOCK, roughly on average for SNF.

    • NFL total Sunday ratings are +4% vs. last year in the first 2 weeks of the season. /Sportico

  • ALSO: Queen Elizabeth’s funeral drew about 10 Million US viewers across all broadcast & cable outlets who carried it.

ALSO: “Beetlejuice” is the latest BROADWAY show to announce it’s closing, will finish up on Jan 8.

AND: Mike Birbiglia is bringing a new show to BROADWAY - “Old Man and the Pool” will debut on Oct 28.

SURE WHY NOT: Tom Hardy… err Edward Hardy #realname just showed up to a local UK 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship at a school gym on Saturday to compete - won all of his matches. Stayed for photos and everything.

PLUS: Yeah I pulled a classic Sean yesterday - here’s the proper link to that TIKTOK NY Times story. Although I’m throwing my very-aging Macbook Air under the bus on that one for not “copy”ing when I told it to.

CLARIFICATION: AT&T reached out to clarify that they made no settlement or $$ payment to VOLTAGE PICTURES as part of the resolution of VOLTAGE’s copyright lawsuit against them involving film piracy.

IN TODAY’S EDITION:

  • YOUTUBE ups the ante with Creators in TIKTOK battle

  • Weekly look at NETFLIX’s “box office” from the weekend

  • “The Bear” star sets 2nd movie role

  • PEACOCK sets animated series produced by Mike Judge & Greg Daniels
