- Game 1 of the World Series finished down by 11% from last year's Game 1, and last year's Game 1 ended up being the weakest in the four years since the move to the current Wed/Thu/Sat/Sun/Mon/Wed/Thu scheduling. It was the second-lowest-rated Game 1 ever in 18-49, leading only the 2006 Game 1 (3.6) which was the last Game 1 to air on Saturday.
- Most entertainment programs were not meaningfully impacted by the World Series' arrival. Nothing (except Top Model) moved by more than 10% in either direction. The biggest droppers were the last couple hours on ABC, with Modern Family, Happy Endings and Revenge each down by 0.2. And a lot of that may just be those series coming back to earth after nice spikes last week.
