Spotted Ratings, Friday 9/28/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  •  It's been a hellish premiere week for pretty much everybody, so why would a lineup that was already collapsing late last season buck the trend? CSI: NY and Blue Bloods both returned down 25%+ year-to-year and only barely above the low points of their late-season meltdowns, but the worst news came sandwiched between the two with newbie Made In Jersey. Looks like we've found a spot for CBS to put their mid-season replacements.
  • Grimm had a pretty strong return to Friday, basically hitting its August Monday level, topping the night and seemingly helping boost Dateline.
  • ABC managed to tie CBS for the nightly lead at probably a fraction of the cost, sandwiching their unscripted shows with an encore of Last Resort that actually tied for second at 9:00. That's the same number that Pan Am and Revenge got in their Friday pilot encores last year.
  • The final season of Fringe debuted in predictably soft fashion, not even holding all of its The X Factor repeat lead-in.

I knew it. I had that sense from the commercials that no one was gonna wanna watch it. Glad to see that my CBS radar is still in good working order.
