The first Tuesday of the 2022-23 TV season was filled with new and returning series.

The numbers are down across the board in a trend that is becoming all too familiar for the broadcast networks.

You can thank streaming and the endless possibilities available to viewers nowadays for that.

FBI Season 5 Episode 1 managed 6.5 million total viewers and a 0.6 rating -- down a tenth from last season's premiere, but on par with its May finale.
