The rumors about “The Resident” and “9-1-1” collaborating on a show together turned out to be not true. They should have done this to increase ratings. I am not sure why they never followed through with it.

“The Resident” still seems to be holding on despite the addition of “American Idol”. On Idol’s premiere on Sunday March 11, “The Resident” only dropped by 200,000 viewers. That week, Idol had 8.36 million viewers. The following week, “The Resident” actually gained back those viewers despite Idol having 7.74 million people watching. It seems like “The Resident” is going to stay consistent with numbers even though major players got added into the game.

Also new at “The Resident’s” 9pm timeslot is iZombie on the CW. iZombie premiered on February 26, 2018. It does not seem to be competition at all because it cannot bring in a million viewers.
