“Dr. Oz” just hit a new low this season in syndicated TV ratings, averaging a 0.5 for the week ending Nov. 21, 2021.

That date is key here, because it means that number has nothing to do with the Thanksgiving holiday, and it predates host Mehmet Oz’s announcement that he is running for Senate.

The 0.5 rating represents a 17% decline from the prior week. The show’s average of 788,000 total viewers per episode that week placed “Dr. Oz” in 10th among the talk shows. For a tough comparison, “Dr. Phil,” which came in first place, averaged 2.663 million viewers per day that same week.
