Ratings: Criminal Minds Surges as CBS' Super Bowl Commercials Tops Night
CBS’ annual Super Bowl Greatest Commercials round-up this Wednesday drew 7.2 million total viewers and a 1.0 demo rating, leading the night in both measures.
Leading out of that — and with NBC’s #OneChicago in rerun mode — Criminal Minds (5.9 mil/0.9) surged to its largest audience since April 2018 and its best rating in 14 months. SWAT (4.4 mil/0.7) was also up, matching its season high in the demo.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our daily-ish ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increases in delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms. These Live+Same Day numbers instead are used to illustrate any trends or high/low superlatives. Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
