- The disaster week continues for the once and former Death Star, as American Idol lost another double-digit chunk from last week's 5.1 average. (And the show actually averaged about a 5.1 even in the 8:00 hour last week, so it's not really about a one-hour vs. two-hours comparison as it often is.) It finished down in the upper-30%'s year-to-year. The Finder followed up with a new low, but keep in mind its Idol lead-in was 1.3 freaking points bigger the last time it aired.
- Except for Grey's Anatomy, down a tick from crossover night, there was some general recovery at 9/8c with no Idol. Person of Interest pulled into a tie with ABC and built on its lead-in for the first time in 2012. And the fast-crumbling Up All Night finally had something of a good week, recovering by 0.2 and handily outrating fellow bubbler Whitney from the previous evening.
- Rob didn't do well in its final post-The Big Bang Theory test, posting its worst retention yet by far and now gets one last chance after a BBT repeat next week. Gonna be a data point to watch.

At this point, even TVBTN can't make the argument that this is better than a toss-up, and it's slipped far enough behind the rest of the CBS comedy pack that I'd wager it's south of there in the minds of the execs.
There's really no way to spin what Rob did last night. The best argument is that it was only one week, and I think there was something of a case for the show based on the first six weeks. The best thing it can do is hold up really well after a repeat next week, but I'm not holding my breath.
