Spotted Ratings, Friday 4/1/11: CIA is DOA


WHAT MATTERS:
  • CBS' CIA dramedy Chaos was dead on arrival at 8:00, tying the worst rating posted by both of this timeslot's previous occupants (Medium and The Defenders) this season. It finished behind all three of the reality shows it faced on the evening, though just 0.1 behind in each case. I guess CBS knew what they were doing in putting it here. It's also the season's worst series premiere rating for anything scripted on any big-five net. (Yes, worse than Hellcats and Nikita too!)
  • NBC's Who Do You Think You Are? and Dateline lineup came back down to earth after well-above average showings last week. (WDYTYA? rose in finals and ended up even week-to-week.) Dateline plummeted 28% week-to-week.
