-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC inched past NBC by one-tenth of a household rating point for overnight Monday dominance, but the home of “The Voice” will own the adult 18-49 demographic (and other key young categories). “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC won the 8-10 p.m. block, with a 9.3 rating/14 share. Comparably, that was just two percent below the 9.5/14 one year earlier (on 10/01/12). And competing “The Voice” scored an 8.9/13, which was 11 percent above the year-ago evening (8.0/12 on 10/01/12). Needless to say, “The Voice” will dominate the evening in the key demos and “Dancing With the Stars” is still a solid older-skewing option.
Leading out of “The Voice” was week two of drama “The Blacklist,” which dominated the 10 p.m. hour at a 7.7/13 (and 96 percent retention from its week-ago debut, 8.0/13 on Sept. 23, which translated into 12.58 million viewers and a 3.8 rating/10 share among adults 18-49 according to the live plus same day data). Comparably, “The Blacklist” beat the competition (“Castle” on ABC: 7.1/12; “Hostages” on CBS: 4.1/ 7) by 8 and 88 percent, respectively, in the overnights. And it outdelivered year-ago occupant “Revolution” (5.4/ 9 on 10/01/12) by a hefty 43 percent.
“Hostages,” meanwhile, declined by 20 percent from its already disappointing debut last Monday (5.1/ 9), which translated into 7.41 million viewers and a 1.8/ 5 among adults 18-49. And its 4.1 overnight household rating was 24 percent below year-ago time period occupant “Hawaii Five-O” (5.4/ 9 on 10/01/12). Sorry CBS – “Hostages” is a huge miss.
In series-premiere news, CBS sitcom “We Are Men” was off, but not necessarily running with a fourth-place 4.6/ 7 in the overnights at 8:30 p.m. Comparably, that dipped from lead-in “How I Met Your Mother” (5.7/ 9 at 8 p.m.) by 19 percent. And it was only a slight improvement from the debut of failed year-ago occupant “Partners” in the overnights (4.5/ 7 on 9/14/12). Given the ample promotion, “We Are Men” looks like another miss for CBS.
Also lacking on the Eye net was once formidable “2 Broke Girls” (#3t, 5.2/ 8 at 9 p.m.), which slipped by 15 percent from one year earlier (6.1/ 9 on 10/01/12), and week two of sitcom “Mom” (#4: 4.9/ 7 at 9:30 p.m.), which was down by 11 percent from its week-ago opener (5.5/ 8 on Sept. 23) and off by 16 percent from year-ago occupant “Mike & Molly” (5.8/ 8 on 10/01/12). The moral of this story: CBS has sprung a leak on Monday, and part of that erosion stems from the unexpected success of “Sleepy Hollow” on Fox.
In week three news, “Sleepy Hollow” finished third in the 9 p.m. hour with a respectable 5.2/ 8. Comparably, that was just nine percent below last week’s 5.7/ 8 (which translated into 8.59 million viewers and a 3.1/ 8 among adults 18-49), and it built from veteran lead-in “Bones” (#4: 4.8/ 7 at 8 p.m.) by eight percent. One year earlier, failed drama “The Mob Doctor” was off the charts at a 2.5/ 4 in the overnights. If “Sleepy Hollow” settles in now, Fox can chalk up a new hit. Three week overnight track for “Sleepy Hollow: 6.1/ 9 – 5.7/ 8 – 5.2/ 8.
Last, and very least, was night one of the “iHeartradio Music Festival” on The CW at a mere 0.9/ 1 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m.
