CBS is #2 in the fast nationals with a 3.1 for the night, up 0.2 from last week. Big Bang Theory logged a 4.4 in its 8:00 time period, while a repeat special Big Bang episode at 8:30 scored an impressive 3.7 rating. Person of Interest did a 2.7 last night (four-week track: 3.1...2.7...2.6...2.7). The heavy promotional support for the JJ Abrams drama seems to have stopped the bleeding. The Mentalist narrowly won the 10 pm hour with a 2.5 (four-week track: 2.8...2.6...2.7...2.5).
ABC is #3 last night with a 2.4 rating, up from a 2.1 last week. Charlie's Angels was actually up 0.1 from last week to a 1.3 rating with zero promotion. Grey's Anatomy was up 0.3 to a 3.4, and Private Practice was up a similar amount to a 2.4. A bit of good news for The Alphabet.
In contrast, NBC stayed in fourth place, declining 0.1 to a 1.9 rating for the night. While Community was up 0.2 from last week to a 1.7 and Parks & Recreation was up 0.1 to a 2.1, Whitney declined a full 0.3 to a series low 2.0 (despite The Office holding steady at a 3.2 rating). Making matters worse, Prime Suspect (which was promoted heavily) declined another 0.2 to a series low 1.3 rating. Whitney's retention level from The Office has sunk to a quite bad 62% (after starting at 85% and then stablizing for a bit in the low-70% range). With a full season order, there could be many, many weeks of tough ratings at 9:30.
The CW was up 0.1 from last week to a 1.1 rating. The Vampire Diaries increased 0.2 to a credible 1.4 rating, while Secret Circle is stuck at a 0.8.
We will update the season to date numbers after Sunday's ratings.
