The mothership held up quite nicely in the spring, which improved the trend for the night as a whole, while the spin-offs remained roughly in line with the winter trends.

Rating the Ratings

Name	Lo	Avg	Hi	y2y	Plus	Label	Plusy2y	Results
Big Brother Tue	0.4	0.47	0.6		125	hit
NCIS: Sydney	0.3	0.34	0.4		90	marginal		detail
FBI*	0.4	0.48	0.6	-7%	126	hit	+4%	detail
FBI: International	0.3	0.38	0.4	-8%	99	marginal	+3%	detail
FBI: Most Wanted*	0.3	0.36	0.4	-9%	94	marginal	+3%	detail

FBI: They all did a little better, so one could argue for either B+ or B. I'll split hairs and give a slight edge to the mothership over the spin-offs since it looked best in the spring. Grade: B+.

FBI: International: Grade: B.

FBI: Most Wanted: Grade: B.
