- Week two's not really beginning any better than week one. Most of the returnees were reliably down in the general vicinity of two tenths from premiere levels.
- One noticeable exception: a widening of the gap in the race between The Voice, which ended up gaining a bit vs. everyone else's week twos, and Dancing with the Stars, which took a 16% week two plummet to downright horrifying levels. Like the premiere, it was down nearly forty percent year-to-year! The ABC troubles continued at 10/9c, where Castle dipped behind rallying Hawaii Five-0.
- The already surely doomed Partners (2.1, down 13%) and "sorry" The Mob Doctor (1.0, down 23%) are... well, still surely doomed. Revolution came down a bit more but still looks pretty good. And NBC's Monday was amazingly up even more year-to-year than on premiere Monday when it went +125%. NBC made its much-rumored three-way pickup of Revolution, Go On and The New Normal yesterday.
- The CW ended up getting pretty good numbers from what they label the start of their 2012-13 season, the iHeartRadio Music Festival special. It nearly tripled up The LA Complex.
- ESPN's had stellar Bears/Cowboys matchup scored a season high for Monday Night Football (6.8) even though the game ended up being a blowout.
