The CW 0.8/2.1 Week 4 (Oct. 15-21) Analysis: For the third straight week, we saw another debate cause primetime to be messed up, this time on Tuesday. Through the first four nights, CBS has the lead in all categories but it is very close. ABC is a close second in HH/viewers but third in 18-49, but only four tenths behind CBS and NBC who are tied for first. NBC is third in HH/viewers, but tied for first in 18-49, but that will change after tonight's NFL game and they could take the week again. Fox is in fourth in HH/total viewers and in 18-49, and they will likely stay that way. MLB NLCS rain delays really hurt them this week, as they had to preempt X Factor. I expect CBS to take the week in HH/viewers for sure. ABC will likely remain second in HH/viewers, with NBC third and Fox in fourth. Among adults 18-49, we can CBS and NBC battle, as CBS has the NFL overrun tonight. More on that later. As for last week, week 3, NBC won the week again among adults 18-49 thanks to the NFL game. CBS and Fox were tied for a distant second, while ABC was a tenth behind them. Among total viewers, CBS took that crown again followed by NBC this time in second. ABC was a close third (ABC has slight edge over NBC in HH), followed by Fox. Monday started off week four and it was the same as previous three weeks...NBC on top in 18-49 and ABC in total viewers. Starting with ABC, a two-hour Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars did 13.64 million and a 2.1 18-49 rating, down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. Tomorrow will only be an hour due to another Presidential Debate at 9pm ET. A new episode of Castle followed with a first place 10.94 million but a third place 2.0 18-49 rating, down two tenths in 18-49 from the previous week. For NBC, a two-hour The Voice, which is in week six actually, did 13.01 million and a night best 4.8 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 from previous week. At 10pm, week five of Revolution did well for NBC with a third place 8.61 million but a first place 3.3 18-49 rating, up three tenths in 18-49 from previous week. First time it has gone up. It's been picked up for a full season. Next up was CBS with its comedies and Hawaii Five-0. At 8, How I Met Your Mother started it off with 7.93 million and a 3.2 18-49 rating, up a tenth from previous week. Week four of Partners followed with 6.08 million and a 2.1 18-49 rating, up two tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Not good for a CBS Monday comedy, but it did go up for the first time. Then it was 2 Broke Girls at 9pm doing 9.3 million and a 3.4 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 from previous week. Not as strong as the previous CBS Monday 9pm anchors, is it? A new Mike & Molly followed with 9.1 million and a 3.0 18-49 rating, up two tenths in 18-49 week-to-week. A new Hawaii Five-0 was next doing a second place 8.7 million and a 2.1 18-49 rating, up two tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Fox was next but Bones and The Mob Doctor were preempted for MLB NLCS Game #2 doing 5.58 million and a 1.6 18-49 rating. Pretty low and was lower in primetime hours with 5.54 million and a 1.5 18-49 rating. The CW aired their Monday slumping dramas, with 90120 starting it off with just 1.06 million and a 0.6 18-49 rating, but up two tenths from its season premiere. And Gossip Girl followed with just 780,000 viewers and a 0.4 18-49 rating, on par with its season premiere, which was horrible.
