The World's Best is not the hit CBS was hoping for.
The new reality series which aims to find the most talented individuals in the world languished in its Wednesday time-period debut with 5.6 million total viewers and a 1.0 rating.
It launched on Sunday out of the Super Bowl with 22.2 million viewers and a 7.0 rating.
These are probably way off from what CBS expected, and given the scale of the series, it can't be a cheap one to produce.
It's already on the bubble with these numbers.
Meanwhile, the season finale of Criminal Minds was steady with 4.7 million total viewers and a 0.8 rating.
Over on The CW, Riverdale slipped to its lowest ratings of the season with 1 million viewers and a 0.3 rating.
All American followed and was steady with 0.6 million total viewers and a 0.2 rating.
Chicago Med (9.3 million/1.4 rating), Chicago Fire (8.8 million/1.3 rating), and Chicago PD (7.4 million/1.2 rating) were all up in the demo vs. their last originals.
Over on Fox, The Masked Singer slipped four-tenths to 7.1 million total viewers and a 2.2 rating.
Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours was down just one-tenth to 3.8 million total viewers and a 1.1 rating.
