The Question, Tuesday 10/8/13: Does the CW Finally Have a Super Tuesday Lineup?

In 2012-13 the CW was essentially a two-night, three-show network: Wednesday with Arrow/Supernatural and Thursday with The Vampire Diaries. Tonight, they send one of those three shows to try to establish a beachhead on a third evening. Supernatural is back in the Tuesday 9/8c slot where it all began eight years ago after Gilmore Girls, and they'll hope for respectability in the 8/7c hour with The Vampire Diaries spin-off The Originals, which got a post-TVD preview last week. Does the CW finally have a super Tuesday lineup? That's The Question for Tuesday, October 8, 2013.

Supernatural Last Season	The Originals Last Week
0.8 (premiere, 10/3/12) (0.3 Oh Sit!) 0.92 (average) 1.0 (finale, 5/15/13) (1.0 Arrow)	1.0 (10/3/13) (1.2 TVD)

If The Originals could only muster a 1.0 after its best possible lead-in, it might seem that a collapse is on the way in its move to Tuesday. But that preview was apparently mostly a repeat of the backdoor pilot from last season. Because of the negative lead-in change, I can't predict The Originals will grow in its first "totally new" episode the way some other shows have in that situation, though it could hold pretty close.

The Originals PLUS Supernatural Over/Under: 1.65.
