>ABC’s Wednesday is humming along and won the night with a 3.4 Adult 18-49 rating in the fast nationals. Modern Family at 9 led the way of course with a 5.7 (the same as last week). Suburgatory seems to be stabilizing at a 3.0 (the three-week track is 3.3…3.1…3.0, and it could very possibly go up in the official nationals). The Middle is settling in at a 2.8 (four-week track: 3.1…2.7…2.8…2.8). Happy Endings (which was pushed in promos the past few days — “If you like Modern Family, you’ll like Happy Endings” along with guest star Megan Mullally) bounced back to a 3.3. The three-week track for Happy Endings is 3.1…2.8…3.3. Stunts still work. And Revenge (the biggest promo priority) rebounded to a 2.7 (four-week track: 3.4…2.7…2.4…2.7).
CBS was a close #2 at a 3.2 for the night: Survivor 3.2, Criminal Minds 3.7, CSI 2.6. Survivor and Criminal Minds were each down 0.1 from last week, while CSI was down a disappointing 0.3. CSI’s four-week track: 3.2…3.1…2.9…2.6. Pending adjustments in the official nationals, it looks like CSI will lose the 10 pm hour to Revenge.
FOX coverage of the rain-delayed Game 4 of the ALCS is a preliminary 3.0 in the fast nationals (the primetime portion from 8:00-10:30). But the fast nationals have been wildly inaccurate with baseball recently — expect that number to go down substantially.
NBC was fourth with a 1.7 for the night, equalling the Wednesday rating last week. Up All Night, fresh of its full-season order, declined to a 2.0, a series low. In the time period, Up All Night has tracked: 2.4…2.1…2.3…2.0. A repeat Whitney at 8:30 (1.3) over-performed the moribund 1.0 turned in by last week’s Free Agents. Harry’s Law did its consistent 1.2, while SVU pulled a 2.1, third place in the 10 pm hour. SVU track: 2.4…2.1…2.1…2.1.
The CW featured a repeat Ringer (0.4), which didn’t help America’s Next Top Model (0.8).
