Spotted Ratings, Sunday 10/23/11: Once Up a Ton


WHAT MATTERS:
  • It's been a pretty underwhelming fall for drama premieres, but late October has finally brought us a biggie. Once Upon a Time was more than a half point ahead of previous drama high Revenge (3.3) and it was up triple digits from lead-in America's Funniest Home Videos. It's the biggest drama series premiere since V (5.2) about two years ago. This showing also more than doubled the week-ago Extreme Makeover: Home Edition rating. Great start!
  • The big lead-in was also a boon to Desperate Housewives, up a few ticks from last week, although I'm guessing this is the first time the Housewives have ever dropped from their lead-in. There was no benefit for week five of Pan Am.
  • Sports dominated the rest of the landscape, but Sunday Night Football dropped to another new season low and was in fact lower than any 2009 or 2010 game too. The last weaker game was the Washington/Baltimore matchup on 12/7/08. 
  • Game 4 of the World Series had the Series' highest total audience to date and tied its highest 18-49 rating, but it was Truly the Series' weakest game thanks to huge Sunday viewing levels. It was even with last year's Game 4 in 18-49.
