- ABC's week two winner was Once Upon a Time, which adjusted up to finish even week-to-week. It closed the gap to -24% vs. last year's second episode, a step in the right direction from the premiere's -33%. Revenge dropped 17% from last week even with Breaking Bad out of the timeslot, a similar post-premiere drop as last year. And newbie Betrayal (1.1) is obviously not in for the long term after a steep 27% week two drop; but since Lucky 7 was pulled recently, it's probably going to continue airing, and it still may even last the whole fall.
- Fox did well with The Simpsons' annual "Treehouse of Horror" episode, which should be (as usual) the show's largest number without NFL help this season. It was just 3% behind last year's episode. However, the year-to-year drops are more concerning later in the evening with Bob's Burgers (-17%), Family Guy (-26%) and American Dad! (-19%).
- CBS had a massive NFL overrun from the dramatic end of a game between the NFL's biggest team draw (Dallas Cowboys) and its biggest individual draw (Peyton Manning of the Broncos). If you're new to the broadcast Sunday ratings, here's how it goes: those overruns help 60 Minutes by a ton, still benefit The Amazing Race, are essentially neutral for The Good Wife (though it was up a tick this time) and a negative for The Mentalist, which started at 10:44 on the East Coast.
- It was a relatively slow cable Sunday as AMC took a week off between the Breaking Bad finale and The Walking Dead premiere. (Well, actually, they were original with the two-hour finale of Low Winter Sun (0.15), but... yeah, they took a week off.) Lifetime debuted Witches of East End (0.7) to OK numbers, essentially matching the summer's Devious Maids premiere. And Showtime's Homeland (0.7) was down a bit in week two.

I don't know how ABC will justify airing Betrayal if it falls sub-1 like Lucky 7 did.
It's amazing how far Revenge has fallen since it left Wednesday. Will ABC rationalize what will likely be a season of mid-to-high-1s ratings next year if it means the show has enough episodes for syndication?
I expect/hope ABC push Revenge to 10 and launch something new at 9 next season.
