Ratings Roundup

[shipperx]

And here is where I admit... I totally forgot that HIMYM was on... despite it having had the same timeslot for AGES.

Anyway, ratings round-up (from ew.com):

>>>NBC’s The Blacklist won the New Show Lotto again Monday night, but some other freshman titles weren’t so fortunate.

The James Spader crime thriller was down only 5 percent from last week’s premiere, though that includes a minute of Voice overrun that will later get factored out. When you look at Blacklist by half-hours, the first is a 3.8 among adults 18-49 and the second is 3.3, so there’s clearly some drainage.

Fox’s Sleepy Hollow, too, was relatively unscathed. The third week saw the Gothic crime procedural down only a tenth of a point in the ratings.

Yet CBS’ new shows had challenges across the board on a night when the network is normally very strong. The premiere of the critically slammed We Are Men was predictably troubled at 8:30 p.m. — 6.4 million and a 2.0 rating, down sharply from its HIMYM lead-in. We Are Men could have made it tougher for 2 Broke Girls, which was down 14 percent. The promising Mom slipped 12 percent from last week’s modest opener. And at 10 p.m., Hostages fell 17 percent against Blacklist to rank a distant third in the hour.<<<
