Nashville didn’t do so good it looks like ABC should’ve just left Revenge there. ABC is in trouble they don’t have a single new hit there this season. On the other side Chicago Fire comes out looking a lot more positive again retaining a good amount of the SVU audience and the audience from last week but I thought it would hold up slightly better in the demo but maybe American Horror Story took a lot of demos in that hour this week.
Good again for Arrow, that’s going to be a huge money maker for The CW internationally.
Guys with Kids grew again, AP has got to get outta here this week. I heard Whitney Cummings and Chris D’Elia was on the Today Show this morning so I’m wondering if they were promoting their Nov. 2 return. I was under the impression that they still didn’t have an official return date for Whitney and Community.
CSI is WAY past it’s prime and should be third in the demo. Arrow is a hit and the second episode was great so it won’t bleed for the time being. I would consider The Middle a winner since it’s so strong even with a crappy leadout. The only rating I truly care about is American Horror Story’s. Last night’s premiere was the best episode of television I’ve seen so far this season.

ABC took Revenge for granted. ABC previously had trouble with this timeslot and it looks like that will continue with Nashville as it is completely tanking. Going under a 2.0 is not great for such a high profile show.
With Chicago Fire, a 1.5 isn’t great, but the question is what does NBC expect with a 1.6 lead in? NBC either has to be patient with this show and try another lead in or they could try something like moving it to Fridays at 8 PM and that can solve the problem of what goes there. Law and Order: SVU appears to be the bigger problem though as it has fallen this year.
Surpising that the Modern Family lead-in didn’t boost Suburgatory at least for the premiere. I know it’s tradition to put your strongest comedy at 9:00, but if they moved MF to 9:30 it would get higher numbers and be a strong lead-in for their 10pm dramas.
Regarding SVU, viewers abandoned it after Meloni was replaced by Danny Pino. But it’s still good tv cause ICE-T has a bigger role that I’m really enjoying.
