ABC is the only network that will get over a 2 Adult 18-49 rating on Saturday, thanks to NCAA football, the next best thing to the NFL. A mix of regional games and some high-profile national games will put lowly Saturday night in the win column for ABC throughout the Fall. On FOX, we have lowered their ratings projections based on the tepid premiere of Cops last Friday. No significant changes for CBS or NBC projections since May.
An important note: the ratings estimates are for original episodes across the entire Fall (from mid-September through mid-December). Generally, a series will premiere at a high level and then settle into a more normal number by week four-six. The important number to look at as the season unfolds is the average-to-date column at the far right. By the time episode four rolls around, look at the average of episodes one-four and you should have a pretty good idea how the fall -- and the entire season -- will sort out.
