The Question, Thursday 9/26/13: Who Wins a Ratings Race Between a Fox and a Robin?

Premiere Thursday features the week's second huge newbie premiere clash between NBC and CBS. This one's even higher-profile than the first as industry legends Michael J. Fox and Robin Williams make their returns to TV. The Michael J. Fox Show and The Crazy Ones won't normally be going head-to-head, but a special one-hour MJF premiere pits them against each other tonight. NBC scored an absolute knockout punch in the first of these two big duels with Monday's The Blacklist, and Fox's show has the critical advantage, but CBS should bring considerably more lead-in weaponry to the table this time with the one-hour season premiere of The Big Bang Theory. Who wins a race between a Fox and a Robin? That's The Question for Thursday, September 26, 2013.

The Big Bang Theory Last Season	Parks and Recreation Last Season
5.0 (premiere, 9/27/12) 5.25 (average) 4.8 (finale, 5/16/13)	1.7 (premiere, 9/20/12, 2.2 The Office) 1.62 (average) 1.6 (finale, 5/2/13, 1.9 The Office)

If both these shows had the same situation, I would favor Michael J. Fox, whose health struggles add an additional layer of interest in his corner. But the massive lead-in discrepancy between The Big Bang Theory and MJF's Parks and Recreation lead-in (could be up to four points!) ultimately has to count for something.

Spread: The Crazy Ones beats The Michael J. Fox Show by 0.55 points.

(Reply with "The Crazy Ones" if you think The Crazy Ones BEATS The Michael J. Fox Show by 0.6 points or more, or with "The Michael J. Fox Show" if you think The Crazy Ones BEATS The Michael J. Fox Show by 0.5 points or less OR The Michael J. Fox Show TIES/BEATS The Crazy Ones. Results based on finals to one decimal point.)

(Additional note: If MJF is counted as two separate episodes, I'll just use the 9:00 episode for this comparison. If the whole hour is counted once, I'll consult the half-hour breakdowns to just get the 9:00 portion. Either way, we're just talking about the half-hour where they're head-to-head here.)
