- NBC's first week in a post-Welcome to the Family world was far from a game-changer. Though the repeat of The Voice was a big improvement in the 8:30 half-hour (preliminary 1.5), it was only a small improvement in the whole 8:00 hour, and it was of no demographic help to the still pathetic Sean Saves the World and The Michael J. Fox Show.
- The good news for CBS: it seems the major collapse from 9:30 to 11:00 last week was just a blip, as Two and a Half Men and Elementary bounced back. The bad: they sprung another leak, this time among the new comedies, as The Millers in particular was down significantly, and it got even worse after finals saw it adjust down and TBBT go up three tenths. Worth noting that at least in the preliminary True numbers, it went behind both Mom and The Crazy Ones this week.
- The CW's Reign was down two tenths in week two, now below half of The Vampire Diaries (which had one of the first two-tenths-up adjustments I can remember on the CDub).
- After finals, it's worth noting Scandal was down quite a bit this week, but it may be just another blip.
- Game 2 of the World Series went 14% below the 4.2 for Game 1 and just a tick ahead of 2012's second game. While there's usually some slippage from Game 1 to Game 2, this is kind of a disappointing showing considering the game was closer this time.
