Spotted Ratings, Roundup 9/1-9/4/14


WHAT MATTERS:
  • On Monday, Under the Dome (1.2) dipped another two tenths. Considering its previous episode was a new low against the Emmys, this is getting kinda ugly. I've always assumed this show looked pretty safe for a season three, but the next three weeks are at least worth monitoring. And next week's ep may get derailed by the same tennis overrun that damaged last year's penultimate episode.
  • In an encouraging sign for this fall's NCIS: New Orleans, a repeat of the two-hour backdoor pilot (1.3/1.5) posted the best repeat numbers for NCIS all summer. It may have even damaged America's Got Talent (1.8), which plunged to a new low that was actually even below the results show the next night (2.0).
  • Fox wrapped up So You Think You Can Dance (1.3) with a second straight week of two-tenth growth, putting this finale just a tenth behind last year. The show keeps getting weaker each year, but Fox may well keep it around for lack of summer alternatives. 
    • Wednesday also saw a really strong result from Penn and Teller: Fool Us (0.7), up two tenths after five straight 0.5's.
    • And ABC did solid work with a two-hour marathon of The Goldbergs repeats (0.9/1.0/1.1/1.2).
  • And Thursday was all about the return of the NFL (10.2), which shook off some weak preseason results and went just a single tenth behind last year's opener. This game didn't even have the huge ratings draw Peyton Manning (as last year's did), so this is quite a promising start for the league.
