‘Tracker,’ ‘High Potential’ Still Rule Network TV Ratings for Fall 2025

The top of the network ratings charts for the 2025-26 season so far don’t look much different from how they did last season — which is to say that CBS’ Tracker and ABC’s High Potential are still racking up big audiences.

As it has for each of its first two seasons, Tracker is on pace to be the most-watched network entertainment show (i.e., excluding sports and news programming) of the current season. Through Oct. 26 (the most current available figures), the show has averaged just under 14 million cross-platform viewers over seven days. That’s more than 1.5 million viewers than the second-ranked series … which is High Potential at 12.38 million. The two also ranked first and second for the 2024-25 season (in Nielsen’s longer-tail, 35-day ratings).

High Potential, meanwhile, has a sizable lead among all non-sports and news shows in the key ad sales demographic of adults 18-49. It averages a 2.42 rating over seven days of viewing (equivalent to about 3.29 million people in that age range), with almost three quarters of its total coming via streaming. ABC also notes that High Potential’s Sept. 16 season premiere has grown to 17.23 million viewers and a 3.9 rating among adults 18-49 over five weeks of viewing.

CBS’ Matlock (10.31 million viewers) and NCIS (8.86 million) and NBC’s Chicago Fire (8.62 million) complete the top five shows in total viewers. If sports and news were included, NBC’s Sunday Night Football (21.77 million same-day viewers, not including streaming, from Sept. 22-Oct. 26), ABC’s portion of Monday Night Football (12.11 million) and CBS’ 60 Minutes (8.93 million) would all be in the top five.

Three ABC shows — the resurgent Dancing With the Stars (2.0 rating), Abbott Elementary (1.96) and 911 (1.48) — follow High Potential in the 18-49 rankings, with Tracker in fifth at 1.39.

Viewing patterns look to be fairly consistent with recent years: On average, the top 20 shows are drawing about 22 percent of their seven-day viewer totals from streaming, and a much higher proportion (54 percent) of their adults 18-49 ratings.

The top 20 network entertainment series for the first five weeks of the 2025-26 season are below.

Ja Rule Believes His Beef With 50 Cent Was Bad For New York Hip-Hop

written by jummy84

Ja Rule recently opened up about one of Hip-Hop’s most infamous feuds, expressing his belief that the heated rivalry between himself and 50 Cent during the late ’90s and early ’00s created a divide that ultimately negatively impacted the New York Hip-Hop scene.

Appearing on Carmelo Anthony’s 7PM in Brooklyn With Carmelo Anthony podcast, the Queens native reflected on how their animosity—once the center of rap’s most polarizing drama—did more harm than good for the culture that raised them.

“Look at Kendrick and Drake,” Ja said, referencing the various fallouts behind the two rap titans’ fiery battle. “Nothing good is coming out of any of these things.”

Drawing a direct comparison between today’s lyrical wars and his own with 50 Cent, Ja reflected on how their feud fractured the unity that once defined New York’s rap landscape. “Me and 50’s sh*t, that sh*t f**ked up New York Hip-Hop. It really did because it separated a lot of ni**as in New York.”

Ja’s honesty painted a picture of a man looking back on his legacy with both pride and perspective. Though acknowledging the damage their feud caused, he didn’t shy away from his competitive nature. “I feel like I was the better rapper,” Ja said.

“I felt like I made the better records. I feel like my records aged better, still. So, that’s how I feel inside. I don’t know how everybody else feels.”

Yet even amid self-assurance, Rule extended a nod of respect to his longtime rival. “At the end of the day, you’ve gotta kinda love both or you gotta kinda respect both,” the “Always on Time” rapper said of himself and 50.

“You don’t gotta love both, but you gotta respect both. You gotta appreciate both, and that’s just what it is. Even in rap competitions and battles and beefs and sh*t like that, I have a very different take on it than everybody does. He has a take on it that was his take.”

The rivalry between Ja Rule and 50 Cent was one of the most intense in Hip-Hop history, marked by diss tracks, public confrontations, and even real-life altercations.

Though both men achieved immense success, their battle symbolized a turning point—one that, as Ja now admits, left lasting cracks in the city’s once-unified rap foundation.

Sabrina Carpenter Doesn’t Have Cold Feet About Breaking This Fall Fashion Rule

Sabrina Carpenter is keeping cozy girl fall going—even on a night out with Taylor Swift.

On November 7, the pop stars were seen out and about in New York City, both dressed for a night on the town with autumnal twists. Unshaken by their staggering height differences, Swift threw on a pair of burgundy Gucci platform loafer heels with a preppy Thome Brown polo sweater and asymmetrical pleated skirt, topping everything off with a sloping shoulder bag by The Row (which you can and should read more about here).

For her part, Carpenter opted to dress up a white chunky cable-knit turtleneck with a black miniskirt and sheer stockings, further elongating her legs by adding a trench coat. This is a perfect short girl styling trick as the mid-length coat highlights the ultra-short hemline of the skirt, drawing even more attention to the legs.

Hailey Bieber Has a Strict ‘No Botox’ Rule, With One Exception

by jummy84

Hailey Bieber is used to being candid about her face. As the founder of Rhode, the 28-year-old’s skin is practically her calling card, though she does not use it to promote her own products alone.

What’s refreshing about Bieber as a business owner is her transparency and willingness to share the other products she relies on to achieve her signature “glazed donut skin,” from Medicube’s PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Masks to the prescription antibiotic she uses to combat perioral dermatitis flare-ups. Now, she’s opening up about the more intense treatments she does and does not utilize.

During an appearance on In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele, Bieber revealed she gets masseter Botox injections for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) relief, but will not consider cosmetic Botox until she turns thirty.

“I don’t have any Botox, except for in my jaw for TMJ, but I have no Botox in my face,” she tells Thiele. “I made a commitment to myself that I wasn’t gonna do any Botox until I was in my 30s. When I get there, I’ll see if I even want to do it, but my mom has no Botox. My mom does nothing to her skin and she looks insane.”

That doesn’t mean Bieber’s opposed to other minimally invasive treatments, telling Thiele she “love[s] PRP with micro-needling.” Often referred to as a vampire facial, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments involve drawing the client’s blood, separating out the red blood cells and injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into the face with micro-needles.

Bieber says she’s also a fan of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatments, a similar concept that uses the client’s blood to create a filler for targeted injections. “I’ve injected my smile lines. I’ve injected it under my eyes,” she says. “They take your blood, but it’s called easy gel and, basically, they heat it and then they cool it and it kind of makes your blood a gel consistency…Then you inject it, so I’ve done that, which I loved.”

Bieber continues, “I like to do things that I can trust is from your own body. and I’m just consistent with things like that. I do that a couple of times a year. I’ve done light little lasers before, but that’s it.”

Actor-writer Zeishan Quadri, best known for Gangs of Wasseypur, has come forward in strong support of Tanya Mittal amidst the ongoing drama inside the Bigg Boss 19 house. Known for his bold opinions, Zeishan questioned the contestants’ collective behavior towards Tanya, asking why the entire house seems to be ganging up against her.

Zeishan Quadri Supports Tanya Mittal

“Kyu chad raha hai poora ghar? Kya galat kara usne? Bigg Boss ka kaunsa rule tod diya?” Zeishan asked, clearly unimpressed by the treatment Tanya has been receiving from some housemates.

He further elaborated, “Woh Farhana se baat karegi, ye kehte hue ki mujhe acha nahi lagta ki koi akela baitha ho, main toh baithungi. Ab wo acting kar rahi hai, apna game khel rahi hai ya apni real self dikha rahi hai mujhe nahi malum. Par galat toh nahi kar rahi hai.”

Zeishan also addressed the ongoing friction between Neelam and Farhana, clarifying that Tanya’s intentions were never wrong. “Bigg Boss ne bola hai kya Farhana ko boycott karo? Agar Neelam ko bura lag raha hai, main baat le raha hoon Neelam ki kyunki wo Tanya ki best friend hai shuruaat se. Par agar Neelam ko kuch lagta hai, toh usse jaake directly baat karni chahiye,” he added, emphasizing communication over judgment.

Fans on social media have lauded Zeishan’s statement, calling him “the voice of reason” and appreciating his neutral, fair perspective. Many netizens agreed that Tanya has often been misunderstood and deserves credit for maintaining her composure under pressure.

With Zeishan Quadri’s support, Tanya Mittal’s journey in Bigg Boss 19 has now gained a powerful outside voice one that stands firmly for fairness, individuality, and dignity inside the house.

Ali Fazal Attends Special Screening of His Film Rule Breakers at The UK Parliament

written by jummy84

In a proud moment, actor Ali Fazal was recently extended a special invitation by UK Parliament Member Alice McDonald for the screening of his upcoming international film Rule Breakers. It has been helmed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bill Guttentag. The exclusive screening was followed by an engaging panel discussion with the film’s star cast, where Ali joined the director to share insights on the making and message of the project.

Expressing his deep sense of gratitude, the Metro…In Dino actor said, “To be invited by MP Alice McDonald to the UK Parliament for the screening of Rule Breakers is a moment of immense pride and privilege for me. This isn’t just about showcasing a film, but about creating dialogue around stories that challenge norms and inspire change. I feel honoured to have represented not just myself, but also the incredible teams I have had the privilege of working with over the years. Collaborating with Bill Guttentag, a filmmaker whose work I have admired for long, has been a rewarding experience, and to now present our film in such a historic and influential space is truly humbling. As an artist, I believe cinema has the power to transcend boundaries, and occasions like these remind me why we do what we do.”

Ali Fazal
Rule Breakers is a gripping, women-centric drama that tells the story of a visionary woman who dares to educate young girls in a society where such efforts are seen as an act of rebellion. As their innovation captures global attention, their success becomes both a beacon of hope and a source of conflict.

Meanwhile, Ali Fazal was most recently seen in Metro…In Dino. Talking about his performance, Filmfare wrote, “Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh are competent, but their characters suffer from a lack of depth. Their arc, based on miscommunication and emotional disconnect, feels dated, something we’ve seen far too often. Perhaps the failed musician narrative warranted its own separate film to be fleshed out meaningfully.”

The actor will next be seen in Rakht Brahmand.

When Jaya Bachchan Predicted Big B Would ‘Rule Bollywood’ After Lashing Out At Manoj Kumar For Casting Amitabh In A Supporting Role

It’s always fascinating to learn about the golden days of Bollywood, how the movies were made, and what happened on sets. An old incident about Jaya Bachchan taking a stand for Amitabh Bachchan dates back to the release of the Manoj Kumar directorial Roti Kapda Aur Makaan in 1974. Jaya Bachchan blasted Manoj Kumar for casting Amitabh Bachchan in a supporting role.

Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan, who married on June 3, 1973, celebrated their 52nd anniversary this year. Although they frequently exchange words of great respect and affection, Jaya—renowned for being outspoken—has fought for her husband in front of celebrities like Rajesh Khanna and Manoj Kumar.

Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, starring Manoj, debuted in theaters in 1974. Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, and Shashi Kapoor also played key roles in the movie. Despite experiencing several failures at the beginning of his career, Amitabh had already scored a hit with Zanjeer (1973). He was well on his way to becoming the titan whose fame would last for decades and even generations. Despite this, Amitabh received comparatively less screen time than Manoj, who portrayed Bharat, and Amitabh, who played the role of his brother Vijay.

Jaya Bachchan Clashed With Manoj Kumar Over Amitabh Bachchan’s Limited Role In Roti Kapda Aur Makaan

Jaya Bachchan, who had only married Amitabh Bachchan a year prior, voiced her displeasure with her husband’s screen time in the Manoj Kumar-directed movie. Manoj was also the writer and producer of the action drama.

Amitabh was yet to have his breakthrough hit, even after making his feature debut in 1969’s Saat Hindustani. Five years later, Manoj asked the actor to be in his film Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, where he would play a key role. But rather than being the central star, he was cast as a supporting actor opposite Madan, Dheeraj Kumar, and Premnath.

Jaya Bachchan didn’t take this well. According to an IMDb report, the actress stated in a media interview that Manoj Kumar squandered Amitabh Bachchan’s talent for the movie. She claimed that Manoj purposefully reduced Amitabh’s screen time.

The film was one of the top-grossing films of the year. It is recognized as one of Manoj Kumar’s biggest box office hits. On a Rs 1.28 crore budget, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan reportedly brought in Rs 7.50 core at the box office.

Jaya Bachchan Defended Amitabh Bachchan Against Rajesh Khanna

Much earlier than this, in 1972, Jaya stood up to Rajesh Khanna on behalf of her then-boyfriend Amitabh Bachchan. Rajesh allegedly reprimanded Amitabh for visiting the sets of Bawarchi to meet his co-star.

Rajesh, the biggest star then, thought Big B had no chance of success since Amitabh’s movies failed to make money. In addition, he asked Jaya to avoid him. Jaya had responded angrily, saying Amitabh would eventually take over the business. The phrases were fictitious. Amitabh Bachchan, as we know it, is one of the biggest stars of the time.
