Spotted Ratings, Monday 10/10/11 (FINALS): Terra Noverrun


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Fox's Monday lineup started 53 minutes late thanks to the American League Championship Series. This helped push Terra Nova and House significantly down week-to-week. Is there precedent for this situation? Well, House aired 45 minutes late due to baseball overrun a couple years ago (10/19/09) and finished about 15% lower than the episodes in the surrounding weeks. Since House was more established than Terra Nova at the time, I wouldn't write off Terra Nova for its 19% drop. House's 31% drop is perhaps more concerning, but I think there's probably some post-premiere drop built into that one as well. Let's see how both do next week.
  • Everything else was also down. Preempted in Detroit for Monday Night Football (whose ESPN telecast (6.9) was the season's second-strongest), Dancing with the Stars hit a new performance series low while Castle tumbled yet again to its lowest numbers in nine months. Two and a Half Men's declines slowed considerably, but the eye still took double-digit hits at the beginning and end of the night with HIMYM and Hawaii Five-0. The Sing-Off dropped 17% while a special Monday Prime Suspect rerun was not even close to recently pulled The Playboy Club (its last ep got a 1.2 last week). And finally, Hart of Dixie's steadiness last week didn't last too long as it dropped two ticks.

Note: As usual on Mondays, the Monday Night Football game is included in the competition calculations. I might do a little more tweaking once I get these numbers next week to account for the fact that House was also competition for the 10:00 shows.
