Thursday #2 brings the fall's only case of series premieres competing head-to-head, with NBC's comedy block of
Bad Judge and
A to Z dueling with Fox's limited mystery series
Gracepoint. These shows may have been held a week to avoid an inflated premiere of
Scandal, but they also may have been simple "hide the weenie" situations. Both hours will have pretty low-rated veteran lead-ins from
The Biggest Loser and
Bones, so actual success is going to require bringing in some outside interest.
Scandal and
Thursday Night Football are not exactly soft opponents, but maybe there's an entertainment programming audience available that isn't interested in
Scandal. What's the verdict on
Bad Judge,
A to Z and
Gracepoint? That's
The Question for Thursday, October 2, 2014.
Highest Rating Among Bad Judge, A to Z and Gracepoint Over/Under: 1.45.
TO CLARIFY: "Over" wins if ANY of Bad Judge, A to Z OR Gracepoint goes over the line, while "under" wins if NONE go over.
