Ratings: America Ferrera’s Second-to-Last ‘Superstore’ Episode, the Season 6 Premiere, Does Fine

Fox’s “Thursday Night Football” dominated primetime last night, when NBC returned “Superstore” and ABC wrapped up some game shows.

Thursday’s “Superstore” Season 6 premiere was star and executive producer America Ferrera’s second-to-last episode. It did fine in the Nielsen ratings, though the rest of NBC’s primetime lineup (especially freshman series “Connecting…”) dragged the network down into a third-place ratings tie with Spanish-language broadcaster Univision.

Hey, both of them still beat CBS!
