- The first new series result of the fall is in the books, and Fox's big unscripted investment Utopia (1.9) had a rather sluggish start following an NFL game (albeit a lopsided one). The final breakdowns for its NFL overrun lead-in will be interesting to see, but the impact was clear in Utopia's major drop after the first half-hour. Final breakdowns were 2.6 -> 1.9 -> 1.7 -> 1.6. The show did have to face Big Brother (2.4), whose audience would probably overlap as much as anything, but this doesn't inspire much optimism.
- NBC had a blowout (that got close again late) for its first Sunday Night Football (8.0), which is about a point down from last year's prelim. And while CBS' Reckless (0.7) gave back some of its oddly massive spike from last week, its last Sunday episode stayed ahead of all the results prior to last week. Lead-in Unforgettable (1.1) was also on the high end.
