- Fox went with Game 2 of the World Series, which won the evening for Fox and (because of the late-game dramatics) fared better on a year-to-year basis than the previous evening's Game 1. It was actually even with 2010's Game 2 and down just 5% from the Game 1 rating. That's the smallest Game 1 to Game 2 drop in the five years of the current scheduling.
- With NBC's comedy lineup sitting out the evening, CBS' opening hour benefited noticeably, as The Big Bang Theory broke a 5.0 in the 8:00 half-hour for the first time and Rules of Engagement retained 71% of the Big Bang demo, almost matched the week-ago Bang encore and tied its best raw 18-49 rating in any of the last two seasons.
- Other entertainment programs on CBS, ABC and the CDub were not majorly impacted by the change in competition.
