- NBC's latest Thursday 10/9c effort Hannibal didn't do well by any standard other than the NBC Thursday 10/9c standard. By that standard, though, it might be workable. At least it's no Do No Harm (0.9 on 1/31/13). The other good news is that fierce drama competitors Elementary and Scandal go into repeats the next two weeks. That's really all there is to say for now; stay tuned.
- Well, one more thing: it received absolutely no help from the NBC comedy lineup, with The Office at a series low and a two-week tryout for Go On at 9:30 beginning at about its late-winter Tuesday level.
- Fox also tried new comedies on the night with New Girl and The Mindy Project getting the post-American Idol berth and, like last week's Raising Hope, going near the low end of their normal numbers. All it really did was just make the shows considerably older-skewing. The "special post-Idol tryout" may be nearing extinction.
- ABC and CBS also went original and had a lot of lower-end results but nothing terribly unusual, though the CBS comedies got adjusted up in finals to post more significant week-to-week growth.
