The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)-Winners:“The Big Bang Theory” (CBS), “The Voice” (NBC), “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC)-Huge Improvement:“Supergirl” (CW)-Tired:“2 Broke Girls” (CBS)-Losers:“Gotham” (Fox), “Lucifer” (Fox), “Conviction” (ABC), “Timeless” (NBC)—--Ratings Breakdown:NBC remained in the overnight winner’s circle on this fourth Monday of the new TV season, besting No. 2 ABC and No. 3 CBS by 7 and 17 percent, respectively, in households. Thanks to “The Voice,” which scored a healthy 7.3 rating/11 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., NBC’s advantage in adults 18-49 (and the other key demos) will be much greater. But all was not perfect on the Peacock net with week two of 10 p.m. drama “Timeless” slipping to a 3.9/ 6 at 10 p.m. (#2), which was 24 percent below its 5.1/ 8 debut one week earlier and 29 percent below year-ago time period occupant “Blindspot” (5.5/ 9 on 10/12/15). Comparably, overnight retention for “Timeless” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (7.3/11) was lacking at 53 percent.Last week, “Timeless” opened with 7.60 million viewers and a 1.8 rating/6 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data.Worse at 10 p.m., however, was week two of ABC drama “Conviction” at a third-place 3.1/ 5 in the household overnights, which was 16 percent below its anemic 3.7/ 6 opener one week earlier and 31 percent below “Castle” on the year-ago evening (4.5/ 8 on 10/12/15). Comparably, overnight retention for “Conviction” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Dancing With the Stars” (7.2/11) was only 43 percent, and the debut last week came in at 5.17 million viewers and a 0.9/ 3 in adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data. Tick, tock…the cancellation clock could be rapidly ticking on “Conviction.”Overall, “Dancing With the Stars” scored a 7.1/11 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was nine percent below the 7.8/12 in the year-ago evening.There were two season premieres last night. On CBS, two episodes of tired sitcom “2 Broke Girls” averaged a distant third-place 4.1/ 6 from 9-10 p.m., slipping in the 9 p.m. half-hour by 24 percent from episode four of lead-in “Kevin Can Wait” (#3: 5.4/ 8 at 8:30 p.m.). But “Supergirl,” now on The CW, opened season two (and first on The CW) with a 2.0/ 3 (#5) from 8-9 p.m., which was 150 percent above the series-premiere of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” on the year-ago evening (0.8/ 1 on 10/12/15). In the CW universe, consider this a positive start for “Supergirl.” In the CBS universe, 34 percent overnight slippage for the “2 Broke Girls” double-pop from year-ago time period occupant “Scorpion” (6.2/ 9 on 10/12/15) means CBS would be better off moving “Scorpion” back to 9 p.m.Now at 10 p.m., “Scorpion” dipped to a 4.6/ 8. While still dominant against dramas “Conviction” and “Timeless,” it was still 26 percent that 6.2/ 9 at 9 p.m. on the year-ago evening.Earlier in the evening on CBS was “The Big Bang Theory” at a 9.1/14, which topped the night. At 9 p.m. on The CW out of “Supergirl” was a repeat of “No Tomorrow” at a 0.5/ 1.Fox, meanwhile, could not compete with dramas “Gotham” (#4: 2.5/ 4) and “Lucifer” (#4: 2.6/ 4).Here is the half-hour breakdown:8:00 p.m.ABC – “Dancing With the Stars”: 6.9/11 (#2t)CBS – “The Big Bang Theory”: 9.1/14 (#1)NBC – “The Voice”: 6.9/11 (#2t)Fox – “Gotham”: 2.5/ 4 (#4)CW – “Supergirl”: 2.0/ 3 (#5)8:30 p.m.ABC – “Dancing With the Stars”: 7.1/11 (#2)CBS – “Kevin Can Wait”: 5.9/ 9 (#3)NBC – “The Voice”: 7.7/12 (#1)Fox – “Gotham”: 2.4/ 4 (#4)CW – “Supergirl”: 2.0/ 3 (#5)9:00 p.m.ABC – “Dancing With the Stars”: 7.4/11 (#2)CBS – “2 Broke Girls” (season premiere): 4.1/ 6 (#3)NBC – “The Voice”: 7.5/11 (#1)Fox – “Lucifer”: 2.6/ 6 (#4)CW – “No Tomorrow” (R): 0.6/ 1 (#5)9:30 p.m.ABC – “Dancing With the Stars”: 7.2/11 (#2)CBS – “2 Broke Girls”: 4.0/ 6 (#3)NBC – “The Voice”: 7.3/11 (#1)Fox – “Lucifer”: 2.6/ 6 (#4)CW – “No Tomorrow” (R): 0.5/ 1 (#5)10:00 p.m.ABC – “Conviction”: 3.5/ 6 (#3)CBS – “Scorpion”: 4.7/ 8 (#1)NBC – “Timeless”: 4.2/ 7 (#2)10:30 p.m.ABC – “Conviction”: 2.5/ 8 (#3)CBS – “Scorpion”: 4.5/ 8 (#1)NBC – “Timeless”: 3.6/ 6 (#2)Source: Nielsen Media Research
