- FINALS UPDATE: ABC got its usual uptick for DWTS (1.9) and Castle (2.0). The Big Bang Theory (4.5) and The Voice (3.7) also got a bit better, while The Blacklist (2.6) inched down.
- Week three was not as good to the drama newbies as week two. After an incredibly steady week two, CBS' Scorpion took a far bigger 19% drop to 2.5 in week three. To add to the CBS troubles, NCIS: Los Angeles (1.6) took a big week two dip and remained well behind Castle (1.9) at 10/9c. The Big Bang Theory (4.4) was also down a bit more.
- Fox fared a little better as Gotham (2.5) was down a reasonable 11%, close to the same drop as last week, and its lead-out Sleepy Hollow (1.7) also steadied.
- The CW opened its Monday lineup with the premiere of The Originals (0.7). Though this was down a tenth from its season finale, it was on a new night and without last year's strong companion Supernatural (though there was an SPN recap special (0.5) for this night). So it's probably about as good as they could've hoped for, and it looks like it should be a big improvement over what the CW had on Monday last year.
- NBC was slightly down but still dominant with The Voice (3.6) and The Blacklist (2.7).
