- Week two wasn't kind to last week's newbies; Bad Teacher (1.4) almost certainly fell completely out of the conversation with a 33% week-to-week drop. It was a bad night for CBS in general, with The Millers (2.0) plummeting to its worst-ever retention out of The Big Bang Theory (4.5). This was also an outright low, dipping below its performance on Halloween following a repeat! And Two and a Half Men (2.1) did by far its worst number since the move to 9:00.
- The other week two, ABC's Black Box (1.3), was down 13% even as Grey's Anatomy (2.6) bounced back by the same percent for Isaiah Washington's return.
- The other development of note was NBC actually having one of its best Thursdays of the season with the iHeartRadio Music Awards (1.7). This may have taken a bit of a toll on some of the competition, but no one more than a dive-bombing American Idol (1.5).
