Is Tiffany Haddish’s ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things’ Damned for Poor Ratings?

ABC’s “Kids Say the Darndest Things” is not getting darn good TV ratings. As a matter of fact, Nielsen numbers for the Tiffany Haddish-hosted reboot on Sunday nights are pretty darned bad. “Kids Say the Darndest Things” is averaging a 0.6 rating among adults ages 18-49, according to Nielsen’s “most current” ratings, a data set that includes one week of delayed viewing per episode where available. That puts it in a tie for the 89th highest-rated show on broadcast television this season alongside reruns of “Young Sheldon” and “SWAT” (with a little bit of summer spillover mixed in). And there are actually three show’s with rerun episodes that are doing better than “Kids” new ones: “NCIS,” “The Neighborhood” and “Family Guy.” Also Read: How Great Was 'Jeopardy: Greatest of All Time' in TV Ratings?

All right, maybe grandparents? A little better, we guess: Among adults 50-plus, “Kids Say the Darndest Things” rises to 78th. Well, what about younger? It’s 69th in 18-34.
