The rollout of pre-premiere week arrivals continued.
CBS: The fall premiere of SURVIVOR was a heavy 0.6 below last September’s debut, 2.6 compared to 3.2. However, on the glass half-full side, it was 0.2 above the show’s 2.4 spring premiere. The BIG BROTHER season finale was fairly steady at 2.4, down just 0.1 from last year.
NBC: The finale of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT also held steady, up 0.1 from last year to 2.5. It was preceded by another woeful 1.2 for MILLION SECOND QUIZ.
FOX: The good and bad news was that THE X FACTOR stayed at the same 2.2 it had in last week’s season debut. That’s an unimpressive number, but at least it didn’t suffer from the increased competition over at NBC and CBS.
ABC: Reruns, highlighted by 1.5 for a 9:30PM run of MODERN FAMILY.
CW: Reruns, at 0.3/0.4.
Tonight, Million Second Quiz mercifully comes to its 2-hour end, followed by a Meredith Viera newsmagazine special. Aside from that, the fresh content consists of WIPEOUT and X Factor (FOX will follow the latter with reruns of its new Tuesday sit-coms).

RIP, Nikita. CW: Nobody cared very much about NIKITA while it aired, and its series finale, virtually buried on a holiday week Friday (Univision topped all the English-language networks last night), got just as little attention. It held its 0.2 from last week, the same rating as the CARRIE…
