Even football was subdued on a very quiet night.

Daily Comp 3way 2014 THU Sep 18

CBS:  A blowout win by Atlanta over Tampa Bay tested even NFL fans, as THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL crashed by 2.2 from last week to a 3.3 preliminary rating.  That will go up in final numbers, but not enough to make up the difference.

NBC:  THE BIGGEST LOSER fell 0.3 from last week’s season premiere to a series low 1.3.  It was followed by a rerun of the MYSTERIES OF LAURA pilot at 0.8.

ABC:  Shonda Rhimes reruns at 0.6-0.7.

FOX:  SLEEPY HOLLOW reruns at 0.5.

CW:  Reruns at 0.2/0.2.

Everything new tonight is unscripted, including a fresh hour of UTOPIA and Big Brother and Biggest Loser clip shows.
