HI-Surf Opens to High Rating. \

Consider CBS Matlock‘d and loaded.

Leading out of 60 Minutes‘ Season 57 premiere, Sunday night’s sneak preview of the Kathy Bates-led, not-a-reboot legal drama delivered 7.73 million total viewers, making it CBS’ most-watched series launch not airing after a Super Bowl since Luke Mitchell’s The Code drew north of 8 million on April 9, 2019 (following an episode of NCIS).

The first episode of Matlock, whose closing twist got everyone talking, is currently streaming on Paramount+, and CBS encores are scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8 and Thursday, Oct. 10 (both nights at 9/8c).

Matlock will then settled into its regular time slot, Thursdays at 9 pm, beginning Oct. 17 with Episode 2.

Sunday’s other broadcast premiere, Fox‘s Rescue HI-Surf, drew a 1.1 demo rating leading out of an NFL double header, making it the highest-rated fall drama debut in six years (since CBS’ God Friended Me). In total viewers, the lifeguard drama drew 4.7 million viewers
