- Saturday is such a TV graveyard that it's pretty rare these days to even see multiple programs break a 2.0 demo. So this Saturday, on which two programs broke a 3.0 demo, was a highly irregular one. But ABC's well-above average Saturday Night Football between Oregon and Stanford pulled it off alongside Fox's much-ballyhooed broadcast network debut of the UFC. The shows were actually both at 3.0+ head-to-head in the 9:30 half-hour.
- Another note about this Saturday is that the big four networks combined for just one hour of repeat programming, an extremely low number on Saturday these days. Among the remaining originals not mentioned above, only Cops did really well, with perhaps UFC pre-tune dragging it to easily its highest levels of the season. CBS' Republican debate and NBC's Notre Dame blowout couldn't crack a 1.0 demo.
