Harry Bring, an executive producer of CBS’ Criminal Minds and a producer on Fox’s sci-fi classic The X-Files, died Tuesday at age 77.

Fox's 9-1-1 season finale (1.7 demo rating, 6.581 million viewers) ticked up by 1/10th of a rating point, to tie CBS’s Survivor: Ghost Island (1.7, 8.52M) as the top show of the night in the demo for the first time in the four Wednesdays they've both been on the schedule.

Donald Trump hasn't ended up on Big Brother Celebrity Edition (1.8/7) yet, but the next best thing did, and Omarosa made it clear last night she didn't come to make friends. “There’s a lot of people (here) that want to stab me in the back, kind of similar to the White House," the former Apprentice contestant and…

Fox’s new 9-1-1 (1.6 demo rating, 6.123 million viewers) was Wednesday’s “1” in the key 18-49 age bracket. Fox held steady, week to week, on the night with this solid mid-season launch from Ryan Murphy; its 9 PM show’s performance is set against its 8 PM lead-in, Fox's The X-Files  revival, (0.9, 3.547M) which slipped…

Maybe ABC wants to reconsider that spinoff decision, as the show that looks never to be was the reigning demo king of Wednesday's primetime.

The second week of Fox’s 9-1-1 (1.5 rating in adults 18-49, 5.49 million total viewers) fared well Wednesday, ending as primetime’s second highest-rated show behind the 200th episode of ABC’s Modern Family (1.6/5.79M) facing off in the same 9-9:30 PM time slot for the first half-hour of the first responders drama. 9-1…

At the top of today’s The X-Files session on the Fox lot, Gillian Anderson got the elephant in the room out of the way: Why is this her last season of the The X-Files? “Why?
