As of today at 2 pm ET, when our poll closed, it was the freshman Fox drama Rescue HI-Surf that topped the standings with just shy of 13% of your votes.
Season 1 of Rescue HI-Surf — which films in Hawai'i and stars Zoe Cipres, Kekoa Kekumano, Arielle Kebbel, Robbie Magasiva, Adam Demos and Alex Aiono — averaged 2.8 million total viewers (with delayed playback), ranking No. 5 out of the seven dramas Fox aired this TV season; in the coveted 18-49 demo, it places third (behind only Doc and the cancelled 9-1-1: Lone Star). The island drama delivered 65% audience retention out of lead-in Lone Star, and was this season's 10th-most watched new broadcast drama (out of 12).
Two NBC dramas placed second and third in this year's poll: Law & Order: SVU, which is down 17% in viewers vs. last year (now airing opposite CBS' freshman hit Matlock) and out of the 11 dramas NBC has fielded this season ranks No. 4 in audience; and The Irrational, which is down 25% from its freshman run and ranks No. 7. Rounding out the Top 5 are NBC's Law & Order and ABC's Doctor Odyssey.
Among sitcoms in this year's poll, Fox's Animal Control led the pack and placed 12th overall with 3.4% of your votes.
Meanwhile, residing at the bottom of our 24-show poll, Fox's Grimsburg mustered not even half a percent of the votes. Grim, indeed.
Fun fact! Five of the Top 10 shows in TVLine's 2024 poll wound up getting renewed. And out of last year's Bottom 5, at least two wound up scoring additional seasons.

Older LGBTQ+ adults share their stories of coming out after 50
From a 90-year-old man finding the courage to come out to a former Baptist preacher revealing his authentic identity at 53, journalist Charles M. Blow uncovered the touching stories of everyday Americans who are embracing their true selves later in life. Bestselling author and former New York Times columnist Blow, who came out as bisexual at 40, made this decision after he became a public figure. He revealed his sexual orientation in his 2014 memoir "Fire Shut Up in my Bones," which is about his life growing up in Louisiana. "Late to the Party: Coming Out Later in Life," airing Friday, June 6, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu, follows Blow as he explores the experiences of older adults who have come out as LGBTQ+ later in life. At book signings, people thanked him for his courage and told him they also came out in their 50s or older. Blow realized that it's a phenomenon that needed to be explored and discussed more to help reduce stigma and shame. "Coming out late in life, you are not alone. You are not defective," he said. "You are a different expression of humanity, and you are just fine just the way that you are." For Dennis Meredith, who's featured in the docu-special, coming out at 53 meant confronting his entire career as a Baptist preacher. MORE: Transgender service members say they face 'heartbreaking' decision amid Trump ban His journey began when his own son came out, leading him and his then-wife to study what the Bible really says about homosexuality. "But what holds all of us back? We're afraid," Meredith said. Christopher McCrea spent 29 years in the military, believing he would never be able to come out and keep his job. "The reality of it is it's not a closet; it's a coffin," McCrea said. "It's a place of death and sadness." McCrea's story reflects the impact of policies like the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which was in effect from 1994 to 2011 and forced many service members to hide their sexual identities.

His daughter Kacie mentioned she repressed her feelings about the situation and didn't want to be "another bleeding heart" for her parents to worry about while they were dealing with their own issues. Ken Feltz also featured in the docu-special, waited even longer to come out, having revealed his sexuality at 90 to his family. While writing his life story during COVID-19 isolation, Ken finally opened up about his first true love, Phillip, whom he left decades ago due to societal pressure. "Even holding hands in public would get you arrested. They had to cure you," Feltz said of the era when he first fell in love. In the 1950s, he said he fell in love with a woman and lived a different life. Despite this, he said he never forgot Phillip. "I just knew that I had missed out on the one thing in my life that probably was the best thing in my life," he said. MORE: Who makes up the LGBTQ+ community? A look at the growing population For Erica, who asked that ABC only use her first name, coming out at 52 meant having difficult conversations with her Catholic parents. Her 81-year-old mother, Judy, showed remarkable acceptance. "It's not my job to judge. I love you for you. I always have and always will," Judy said, "I'm here to just love my daughter unconditionally." The stories shared demonstrate that while coming out later in life presents unique challenges, it's never too late to embrace one's true identity. "There is a price that has been paid for who I get to be today, but who I am is exactly who I'm meant to be," Jaime Zavala, who came out at 45, said.

Hunting Wives Adaptation Starring Malin Akerman, Brittany Snow Moves From Starz to Netflix for July Release
Another one of TVLine's 'missing' shows has been found. A TV adaptation of May Cobb's 2021 novel The Hunting Wives, ordered to series by Starz in October 2023, instead will be released by Netflix — on Monday, July 21. More from TVLine Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive) Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: 'There Was a Debate,' EP Says Every New Scripted Show Confirmed to Premiere in 2025 - Save the Dates! As explained by Deadline, the move stems from Starz's split from Hunting Wives acquirer Lionsgate Television, which took effect last month. Described as a twisty thriller, The Hunting Wives tells the story of Sophie O'Neil (played by American Dreams' Brittany Snow) and her family's move from the East Coast to deep East Texas, where she succumbs to socialite Margo Banks' (Trophy Wife's Malin Akerman) irresistible charms — and in turn finds her life consumed by obsession, seduction, and murrrrderrrr. The cast also includes Chrissy Metz, in her first post-This Is Us TV role, as Starr, a working-class woman and staunch Christian who is not welcomed in the high-society world of the Hunting Wives; Katie Lowes (Scandal) as Jill, wife of Reverend Clint and 'queen' of the local megachurch; Jaime Ray Newman (Eastwick) as Callie, a sheriff's wife and amazing marksman who is the 'second in command' of the Hunting Wives; and George Ferrier (One of Us Is Lying) as Brad, a perfect All-Texan boy who behind closed doors has an emotionally incestuous relationship with his mother. Dermot Mulroney (Chicago Fire) and Evan Jonigkeit (Sweetbitter) round out the cast, while Karen Rodriguez (Acapulco), Michael Aaron Milligan (Ruthless) and Hunter Emery (Hightown) fill recurring roles. Filming on The Hunting Wives began in spring 2024 and wrapped last year. 'Missing' Shows, Found!
