Second week, same as the first week. CBS took its usual spot at the top of the ratings although NBC lost the fewest viewers from last week. The news was even better for Fox, which, thanks to a best-ever rating for Glee, added 600,000 viewers to its weekly average.
Every new series decreased in viewers since its premiere, but Raising Hope (Fox) held on remarkably well as did the struggling shows, The Whole Truth (ABC) and Outlaw (NBC). Michael Chiklis' return to network television in the superhero comedy-drama, No Ordinary Family gave ABC a good start on Tuesday night against tough competition from the aforementioned Glee and NCIS, CBS's top series.
As of now, every new Fall TV series has made its debut except for School Pride (NBC), which premieres tomorrow at 8:00pm on NBC, and Body of Proof (ABC), which begins on Friday, October 22. Interestingly enough, even before all the new series have aired, two have already been canceled. Both Fox's Lone Star and ABC's My Generation got the hook after their second episodes. Cancellation watch is still on for The Whole Truth and Outlaw in spite of their respective audience retentions.
Although no new series has landed in the top 10 and likely will not, CBS is in the best shape so far as all five of its new series sit comfortably in the top 30 of the Nielsens.
