NETWORK UPDATE: With all the sports and political preemptions and shifts, there were lots of changes from this morning’s numbers. On NBC, BIGGEST LOSER, A TO Z and PARENTHOOD each lost 0.2, putting them at 1.1/0.7/1.3, and BAD JUDGE dropped 0.3, down to 0.9. On CBS, BIG BANG THEORY gained back only 0.1 of this morning’s drop, still very much down from the same time last year. MOM fell by 0.2, and 2 1/2 MEN and THE MCCARTHYS each slipped 0.1. GRACEPOINT also lost 0.1, as did REIGN, the latter falling to an unattractive 0.3. Only ABC’s shows were entirely unchanged.
