FOX:  After 2.4 for AMERICAN IDOL (down 0.1 from last Wednesday), SECOND CHANCE slid 0.2 to a dire 1.0.

CW:  ARROW returned at 1.1, a 0.1 bump from the fall finale, and SUPERNATURAL’s 0.7 was steady with its last airing.

CBS:  2 BROKE GIRLS (1.7), MIKE & MOLLY (1.6) and CRIMINAL MINDS (2.0) all held at last week’s numbers, but CODE BLACK had a 0.2 bump to 1.4 that put it within a tenth of the 10PM lead.

NBC:  Everything remained at last week’s numbers:  MYSTERIES OF LAURA at 1.2, SVU at 1.7, and CHICAGO PD at 1.5.

ABC:  THE MIDDLE lost 0.1 to 1.8, while THE GOLDBERGS stayed at 2.0.  The network stuck a rerun MODERN FAMILY in the line-up at 9PM, which slightly hurt BLACK-ISH, down 0.2 to 1.7.  AMERICAN CRIME edged down 0.1 to 1.0.

Tonight is a big one for CW, which launches LEGENDS OF TOMORROW after an entire fall of preparation, followed by the season premiere of THE 100.  Cable features the bow of FX’s BASKETS and BBCAmerica’s LONDON SPY.
