- ABC's 2014-15 season got off to an underwhelming start as Dancing with the Stars (2.4) was down 23% from last season's fall premiere. It avoided its usual The Voice competition, but it still had a good deal of unscripted competition from MasterChef (2.0) and American Ninja Warrior (1.8) finales (even if they skew much younger). But it's fairly disappointing that it couldn't even match recent premieres that faced The Voice (2.5 in fall 2012, 2.6 in spring 2014).
- CBS' Under the Dome (1.6) made a surprising amount of late-season noise, up two tenths for the second straight week. Next week's finale follows the Scorpion premiere.
