Demos Year-to-Year, Monday 10/31/11

A couple notes: this was Halloween. Last year wasn't. Also, due to my OCD, I'm making all the "SHOW" and "SLOT" comparisons the same for same-timeslot shows. (If you'll recall, last time I said that sometimes the half-hour breakdowns in "SLOT" average something slightly different, like a 3.05 instead of a 3.0. Well, now I'm just going with whatever's in "SHOW" in those situations.)

HOW TO READ THIS: These are adults 18-49 rating comparisons between the date in the post title and the corresponding night in November sweeps 2010. The 'SHOW' column compares each show with how that same show did during the same week of November sweeps 2010, no matter where it aired in 2010. If it aired somewhere else, I tell you when in the 'day/time' column. The 'SLOT' column compares each timeslot's rating with the timeslot's rating on the corresponding night in 2010, no matter what aired there last year. If it's different, I tell you what it is in 'previous occupant.'
