- It was a mixed bag on ABC's big premiere Sunday, starting with some disappointment and ending on some promise. At 8/7c, Once Upon a Time (1.8) could only get back to last season's finale numbers. It was always going to be down massively from last year's Frozen-fueled 3.5 premiere, but this was down four tenths from even the spring 2015 premiere.
- It led into a soft start for newbie Blood and Oil (1.4), which skewed noticeably older than its Once lead-in (as it was actually up in total viewers). This show is one typical post-premiere drop from basically being on par with the Castles and Nashvilles in the world, which is not a good place to be on opening night.
- But ABC had some silver lining in the 10/9c as fellow newbie Quantico (1.9) picked up noticeably at 10/9c. It's certainly got room to maneuver with this start, as it was miles above anything Revenge did in the hour last season. It doesn't really seem like B&O at 9:00 and Quantico at 10:00 was the right arrangement...
- Fox's premiere night came without a national NFL lead-in, which led to absurd drops from last year's The Simpsons/Family Guy crossover premiere night. It was a very consistent night for the five shows (1.3/1.5/1.5/1.5/1.4), with 7:30 entry Bob's Burgers perhaps including a bit of regional NFL overrun. That level is good news for the live-action shows Brooklyn Nine-Nine (1.5) and The Last Man on Earth (1.4), but not as much for the animated anchors. 1.5 would've been a below-average number even by Family Guy's weak spring standards.
- And CBS burned its opening night national NFL lead-in on a two-hour series finale for former megahit CSI (1.8). It was a higher number than anything CSI did in its final season on Sunday, but doesn't seem to particularly justify the big lead-in and a lot of the premiere week promotional muscle.
