NOTE: Season To Date and Network Week-to-Week Charts Are Below With today’s CW announcement that THE ORIGINALS, REIGN and THE TOMORROW PEOPLE have received full back orders, we know where we are with just about all this season’s fall premieres. (HOSTAGES, BETRAYAL and ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND, all technically “short season” shows, […]
A very big night for The Blacklist, although we won’t know just how big until this afternoon. NBC: Last night’s preliminary numbers are probably inflated by the local New Orleans station’s coverage of NFL Football.
