- Fox again had a historically low-rated World Series in place of normal programming. It took a larger upward adjustment in finals to better than the relatively typical 10% drop from Game 1 to Game 2. Being a much better game surely helped. But it's still on the double-digit downside year-to-year.
- I said yesterday that I was taking longer to give up on Last Resort than on 666 Park Ave. Apparently one day longer. The show had a dreadful fifth week. I'd blame the World Series, but female-skewing lead-out Grey's Anatomy unbelievably lost four tenths plus for the third straight episode. Only Scandal was able to hold serve for ABC; apparently it will get a 2.0ish almost completely regardless of the size of the Grey's lead-in.
- Other tidbits: CBS had another rock-solid opening two hours including a season-high The Big Bang Theory but continues to see Elementary trickle downward; NBC was mostly on the upswing even after the NFL pre-emptions were taken out, but The Office went sub-2.0 for the first time ever; Beauty and the Beast dropped even more in week three; and the NFL Network hit a Thursday Night Football season low (2.2) with a blowout, a bad matchup and World Series competition.
