- FINALS UPDATE: The Big Bang Theory (4.6) rose to tie Empire for the top (broadcast) scripted series of the week. Scandal (3.2), The Blacklist (2.4) and Grey's Anatomy (2.3) also added a tenth, while The Vampire Diaries (0.7) was down.
- Despite a bold move of its top drama, Thursday remains a very tough nut for NBC to crack. The Blacklist (2.3) was a disappointment in its Thursday premiere, below its entire Monday run this season and tying the 2.3 low point when it didn't have a Voice lead-in last season. This was not a good result but not a total disaster, and it should still settle in as a massive improvement over NBC's recent fare on the night. But NBC still put one in the total disaster column with the unwatched pilot of Allegiance (1.1). It couldn't even hold onto half of The Blacklist's demo on premiere night. It's the latest and perhaps biggest fail in what remains a miserable season for NBC's new series.
- TGIT took its usual significant week two hit, with Grey's Anatomy (2.2) suffering the most on a week-to-week basis (down over 20%) compared with Scandal (3.1) and How to Get Away with Murder (2.7) (which were down in the low teens).
- With a second major drama competitor in the mix, Fox's Backstrom (1.0) actually took an even bigger drop in week three than in week two, and this should take it completely out of any renewal conversation. And this came despite a second straight night of week-to-week growth for American Idol (2.4).
- The biggest winner in all this was CBS, which was completely unscathed in the first 90 minutes with The Big Bang Theory (4.5), Mom (2.8) and Two and a Half Men (2.3). And they were improved in the last 90 minutes with the return of The Big Bang Theory repeat (1.9) at 9:30 and Elementary (1.5) ticking back up at 10/9c.
