Spotted Ratings, Monday 10/26/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (4.4) adjusted up two tenths, nearly tying last year's Monday finale (4.6 on 10/20/14) and ahead of the same week last year (a 4.1 for its Thursday premiere). Supergirl (3.1), Dancing with the Stars (1.8) and Blindspot (2.1) all inched down.

• CBS had a pretty super start to the Monday Supergirl era, as the show premiered with nearly 13 million viewers and a 3.2 demo rating and growing from 3.1 at 8:30 to a 3.2 at 9:00. It had a great lead-in as The Big Bang Theory (4.2) finished off a very healthy second half of its Monday run. This is the season's best premiere to date in A18-49, edging Blindspot's 3.1 on premiere Monday. Of course, next week with no TBBT will be a big change for Supergirl, but the half-hour breakdown is undeniably an encouraging sign.

• Supergirl helped Scorpion (1.9) a little bit too, as its 90-minute average from 9:30 to 11:00 was the best rating since the premiere.

• Elsewhere, it looks like co-existence may be possible for the dueling DC shows as Gotham (1.5) was actually on the rebound even on Supergirl premiere night. But it is worth noting that it didn't start facing Supergirl till the 8:30 half-hour, and it dropped from 1.6 to 1.4 at the half. So the first full head-to-head will come next week, but it's not like an above-average TBBT is easy either.

• NBC's The Voice (3.1) and Blindspot (2.2) preliminarily had minor rebounds from last week, but those are pending a Baltimore Monday Night Football preemption. ABC's Dancing with the Stars (1.9) was even in the prelims while Castle went into repeat mode with a 0.9.

• And after hanging for dear life to their rounded 0.3/0.4 last week, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (0.2) and Jane the Virgin (0.3) couldn't do it in week three.
