- The last pre-premiere Monday was all about NBC, with The Voice taking a surprising season one-esque upward turn in week two. Where was this rating last week when I almost predicted that exactly? I guess last week's Gordon Ramsay finales hurt it?
- And they rounded off opening Monday with the premiere of Revolution, which is the biggest drama premiere for anyone since V back in fall 2009 and the biggest on NBC since Bionic Woman in fall 2007. (Cue the chorus: "And look how that turned out!") Either way, for this one week it is undeniably a pretty sensational start, even better than February's Smash debut when its lead-in was over two points larger.
- Meanwhile, Fox had a pretty modest return from Bones, but things really soured in the 9:00 hour with the debut of The Mob Doctor. That's... well, a little better than Fox's huge flop in the hour two years ago Lone Star, but at that point we're just splitting hairs. It's pretty clear this show is not going to be with us for long.
- A few other tidbits: ABC's CMA Music Festival was a couple ticks behind previous recent results (thank you The Voice!) while The LA Complex hit its first 0.4 ever...! (Then it reverted to a 0.2 at 9:00, again illustrating the apparent value of the CW local programming lead-in) And the apparently huge Peyton Manning Effect was in full force on ESPN, where Monday Night Football (6.4) did far better in week two than in week one.
