- Fox got a mediocre at best showing out of the heavily hyped Terra Nova premiere, which only tied for the second strongest drama debut yet this season. This is a clear disappointment considering the ratings expectations are higher than for a normal show (because of the exorbitant negative cost).
- The CDub Monday is apparently not going to be the shot in the arm this lineup desperately needs, with Gossip Girl down three ticks from last year's premiere and the series premiere of Hart of Dixie ranking way behind their other launches this season.
- CBS' lineup expectedly came down, but perhaps not all the way back to earth. Two and a Half Men was still well ahead of any of its results from the last few seasons, How I Met Your Mother continues to be incredibly impressive, 2 Broke Girls built slightly from HIMYM in its regular timeslot debut and Mike & Molly premiered at easily series high levels. Hawaii Five-0 also came only barely down from last week when it had a huge lead-in and nearly closed the True gap with Castle.
- It was mostly bad news for NBC and ABC, with reality franchises Dancing with the Stars and The Sing-Off each down double digits from their premieres. The Playboy Club also tumbled by three tenths. The only positive was Castle, which nearly held up week-to-week and had easily its best yet DWTS retention.
