Leading into the Nancy Drew offshoot, Superman & Lois (710K/0.1, read post mortem) was steady week-to-week.
NBC’s America’s Got Talent (6.1 mil/0.7) dipped a bit but still dominated Tuesday across the board. Dancing With Myself (2.3 mil/0.4) was pretty steady.
Over on ABC, Holey Moley (2.3 mil/0.3) is looking at lows, while The Chase (2.1 mil/0.3) and Who Do You Believe? (1.5 mil/0.2) were steady.

Don't make me Troll-O-Meter you, bro!
You made the claim that the chnages made to the show ares OK because
Tom Swift isn't a real person.
. . .
I was discussing it here, yes. The show is not biographical. I think
that, generally speaking, making changes to the source material for
purposes of TV and film adaptation is okay. There is of course a point
at which the material can be so changed that there seems little point
in calling it an adaptation. I don't think that point has been reached
here.
Making Tom Swift black is not a betrayal of basic Tom Swiftiness. Tom
is supposed to be a genius inventor who has amazing adventures with a >supporting cast of loyal friends. If they stick to that bottom line,
then they're sticking to Tom Swift.

Like any other broadcaster, the CW has to issue a make-good if the
audience for an ad isn't as large as the CW told the advertisers it
would be. Conversely, the network misses a chance to make money if the >audience turns out to be huge.
When I was at ABC, there was a special called The Missiles of October,
about JFK and Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It
introduced William Devane (as JFK) to the mass audience. The wiser
heads at the network didn't think anybody would watch, so the ads went
for peanuts. The show turned out to be a gigantic hit. This was in
1974 and nobody had a VCR. Our unit said we gotta rerun this thing
right away because everybody's talking about it. No, no, no, said >management. They had a slot available, but they chose instead to run a >circus special starring Soupy Sales. Nothing against Soupy, but wha'?

Ratings: Tom Swift Audience Wanes in Week 2, AGT Dominates Tuesday >>>>>> By Matt Webb Mitovich / June 8 2022, 9:25 AM PDT
Tom Swift CW
Courtesy of The CW
In the latest TV show ratings, The CW’s Tom Swift in Week 2 drew 350,000
total viewers (down 20 percent from its debut) and a 0.1. demo rating. >>>>>>
Leading into the Nancy Drew offshoot, Superman & Lois (710K/0.1, read post
mortem) was steady week-to-week.
See above. I'm amazed the CW is still operating with those kinds of >>>>> ratings.
NBC’s America’s Got Talent (6.1 mil/0.7) dipped a bit but still dominated
Tuesday across the board. Dancing With Myself (2.3 mil/0.4) was pretty >>>>>> steady.
Over on ABC, Holey Moley (2.3 mil/0.3) is looking at lows, while The Chase
(2.1 mil/0.3) and Who Do You Believe? (1.5 mil/0.2) were steady.
Early on Nancy Drew actually achieved a rating of 0.00 and yet they still >>>> renewed it.
A friend of mine who writes about series books and who follows this stuff
for the behind-the-scenes information says that the margin of error on the >> ratings is so high that to achieve 0.00 Nancy Drew probably statistically
somehow had negative people watching it.

That would be "A Friend", who isn't familiar with it.
That would not be me, since I don't intend to discuss episodes of a
series I'm never going to watch. Tom Swift was originally described as
an adaptation by its producers, who'd bought the rights to adapt it.
All complaints --> them.
Don't make me Troll-O-Meter you, bro!
You made the claim that the chnages made to the show ares OK because
Tom Swift isn't a real person.
I was discussing it here, yes. The show is not biographical. I think
that, generally speaking, making changes to the source material for
purposes of TV and film adaptation is okay. There is of course a point
at which the material can be so changed that there seems little point
in calling it an adaptation. I don't think that point has been reached
here.
Making Tom Swift black is not a betrayal of basic Tom Swiftiness. Tom
is supposed to be a genius inventor who has amazing adventures with a supporting cast of loyal friends. If they stick to that bottom line,
then they're sticking to Tom Swift.

Making changes for reasons of political correctness has nothing to do
with making the adaptation work well for other media. That's politics.
It's not even an attempt to please an audience.

I was discussing it here, yes. The show is not biographical. I think
that, generally speaking, making changes to the source material for
purposes of TV and film adaptation is okay. There is of course a point
at which the material can be so changed that there seems little point
in calling it an adaptation. I don't think that point has been reached
here.
Making Tom Swift black is not a betrayal of basic Tom Swiftiness. Tom
is supposed to be a genius inventor who has amazing adventures with a
supporting cast of loyal friends. If they stick to that bottom line,
then they're sticking to Tom Swift.
Well this guy is an arrogant jerk who has no friends, only people on the >payroll. His adventures are incredibly less than amazing so far. He's a >criminal who should be up for felony murder charges. So they've missed
every point you brought up except for “genius inventor“
