Spotted Ratings, Sunday 10/21/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC had a solid bounce-back on Sunday #4, with Once Upon a Time, Revenge and 666 Park Ave all back up by multiple tenths.

• Rounding up the other networks: on CBS, The Mentalist remains as affected by the NFL overruns as anything we've seen. Starting at 10:56, it dropped huge from last week's in-pattern 2.1 all the way down to 1.5. NBC's Sunday Night Football had a season low up against Fox's NLCS.

• The top entertainment option was again The Walking Dead (5.1) on AMC, which dropped by 14% from last week's through-the-roof premiere. That's about the same-sized post-premiere drop as it took last season.
