With only one game of the World Series left to play this week, and Glee in reruns due to Election Night coverage, Fox fell back to its customary fourth place in average viewers for the week. Although NBC's Monday night lineup was displaced by a Saturday Night Live special, The Women of SNL, and its Tuesday night lineup was similarly disrupted due to election coverage, it gained 800,000 viewers over last week's average now that Fox's baseball was no longer a factor. This also allowed CBS to pick up 700,000 viewers even though its top-rated NCIS franchise was in reruns.
NETWORK AVERAGE
VIEWERS FOR THE WEEK:
CBS: 11.7 million
ABC: 9.3 million
NBC: 7.4 million
FOX: 6.7 million
The CW: 2.3 million
