Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 4/18/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC had a down evening across the board, but there was nothing too alarming since they started the evening with a repeat The Middle. Suburgatory lost just one tenth in its first airing in such a situation, which seems pretty good. Apartment 23 lost a reasonable 10% in week two. Revenge returned from its long hiatus down a tick from its last airing on February 29. Next week should be interesting as Apartment 23 and Revenge follow 90 minutes of repeats.

• With CBS in repeats from 9-11, nothing much happened elsewhere. After finals, Law and Order: SVU got adjusted up and was able to hold off the repeat of CSI.
