Spotted Ratings, Monday 10/5/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: Life in Pieces (1.9) avoided adjusting down for once, but thanks to another two-tenth bump from The Big Bang Theory (3.9) it was still south of 50% retention. The Voice (3.3) also adjusted up, taking a tenth away from Blindspot (2.4), while Castle (1.2) went down as well. (Dancing with the Stars did not adjust down, at least in rounded numbers, and was thus up week-to-week.)

• NBC's Blindspot (2.5) had another positive outing in week three, down just a tenth from last week in the prelims, though with a 2.7 -> 2.2 breakdown it could be a threat to adjust down in finals. It had a little less help from The Voice (3.2), which was down a tenth or two this week (staying very close to the usual -15% y2y pace on Monday).

• On CBS, The Big Bang Theory (3.7) inched down from last week's final and Life in Pieces (1.9) matched last week's final. This means that after adjustments LiP's lead-in retention could very well dip below 50%. Scorpion (1.8) had a minor rebound at 9/8c, and NCIS: Los Angeles made it three straight 1.2's.

• On Fox, Minority Report (0.7) stepped down two more tenths and is clearly into short-term danger territory, while Gotham (1.5) shed a tenth this time as well.

• And ABC had minor growth from Dancing with the Stars (1.7) and Castle (1.3) in the prelims but is pending Monday Night Football preemptions as usual.
