- NBC's Chicago PD (2.0) got off to a nice start, almost fully retaining the demo from a surging Law and Order: SVU (2.1) and narrowly outrating its sister series' pilot from 15 months ago. It really needed to premiere at this level or very close to it just to have much of a shot at success, as the deck was heavily stacked in its favor with both competing broadcast dramas sitting out (most importantly CBS' crime dramas). If it had started in the 1.6-1.7 range in this spot, it would've been a longshot even though the raw number would've seemed OK on the surface. Now, it's given itself a chance to settle somewhere acceptable, and we'll see how big the scheduling was when CSI returns next week.
- At 8/7c, Revolution adjusted down to a still-OK 1.5, up a tick from its most frequent fall number.
- As for CBS, it had repeats leading into The People's Choice Awards (2.4), down 11% in the demo year-to-year (but up in total viewers).
- The week before the clash with American Idol begins anew, The Middle (2.2) and Modern Family (3.5) were even to up a bit, while ABC unloaded a couple episodes of Super Fun Night (1.5/1.7) at the bottom of the hours. (Wouldn't premiering Suburgatory on this night have been better?)
