Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 10/26/11: It's Raining Ratings!


WHAT MATTERS:
  • It looked like this was setting up to be a big evening for Game 6 of the World Series. Then the rains came, and we were left with a suddenly uncompetitive night. Fox's replacement Gleepeats were not in contention.
  • ABC got expectedly great numbers across the board with little competition and the always reliably strong Halloween themes. The Middle and Suburgatory set new series highs (the latter becoming the season's first new show to exceed its series premiere rating), the Modern Family Halloween repeat seems likely to finish as the 2011-12 season's highest-rated repeat telecast, Happy Endings set a new series high and Revenge was up a couple tenths from last week. 
    • So who Truly did well, for those who care about that sort of thing? The best showing definitely came from Happy Endings, as its high came with easily its lowest lead-in of the season. Very encouraging stuff there. The Middle and Suburgatory were solid. With no real competition and its biggest lead-in ever, Revenge's decent raw numbers performance will likely finish as its weakest TRUE yet.
  • Survivor and America's Next Top Model were also at outright season high levels thanks to the dearth of competish.
