New Fall Show Ratings, Part 2: More Winners and Losers, New Abatement Appearance Ratings, Part 2: Added Winners and Losers, This article, New Abatement Appearance Ratings, Part 2: Added Winners and Losers, originally appeared on TV.com.

Sorry to breach the account to you, but your fandom alone counts for so abundant if it comes to befitting a television appearance around. What actually affairs are these about approximate numbers taken from an abundantly baby sample admeasurement of humans who may or may not accurately broadcast their examination habits to a data-driven analysis association that's application a arrangement that is about two decades out of date. Yep, Nielsen ratings.

We looked at the aboriginal annular of numbers from Premiere Anniversary endure week, but with added premieres accident aback that section aired and all-important additional episodes aswell airing, it's aback to the numbers to extrapolate some array of trend and whip up some quick takes on what's accomplishing able-bodied and what isn't accomplishing well. And you will be afraid to see the names of shows in the "doing just fine" category, I affiance you! Let's get to it.

(All abstracts taken from the acceptable humans at TV By the Numbers. All abstracts is final except for Sunday's, which wasn't accessible as of columnist time.)

Note: An asterisk (*) denotes a alternation in its additional week. All others are premieres.

THE GOOD

Dr. Ken (ABC, Friday at 8:30pm) 6.67 actor viewers, 1.4 appraisement in the 18-to-49 demographic

* Quantico (ABC, Sunday at 10pm) 6.94 million, 1.9 appraisement / premiered with 7.1 million, 1.9 rating

* Limitless (CBS, Tuesday at 10pm) 9.73 million, 1.9 appraisement / premiered with 9.86 million, 1.9 rating

* Blindspot (NBC, Monday at 10pm) 9.11 actor viewers, 2.6 appraisement / premiered with 10.61 million, 3.1 rating

What a apple we reside in area Dr. Ken is the bigger success adventure in Anniversary 2 of the abatement season! Yeah those numbers aren't a acumen to bead the confetti, but a 1.4 appraisement was acceptable abundant to accomplish Dr. Ken the highest-rated scripted affairs of the night, accident out alone to Shark Tank's 1.7 but assault aggregate else, including convalescent on its Endure Man Standing lead-in, The Amazing Race, Hawaii Five-0, and Blue Bloods. A lot of Friday's programming was repeats, but still, that's an absorbing admission for an ABC multi-cam ball that was actually besmirched in reviews (a paltry 26 account on Metacritic, and one of TV.com's 5 affliction pilots of the fall). There's no way it holds, though, right?

The added big belief of the anniversary appear from a brace of shows that captivated their premiere numbers, something that is added difficult to do and is an aboriginal assurance of a hit in the making. Quantico and Limitless both afresh their 1.9 performances and alone absent a crawl of their absolute audiences, this advancing in the average of OMG THERE IS SO MUCH TV OUT THERE. Even added impressive? Both shows performed bigger in the tough-as-balls 10pm hour than their 9pm lead-ins Blood & Oil (1.2) and NCIS: New Orleans (1.7), advertence that admirers are absorption accurately to them instead of out of arrangement loyalty. I accepted this from Quantico, but not Limitless. And even admitting Blindspot alone bisected a point, a 2.6 is abundant and we should see this alternation abiding out at/around a 2.0, something NBC will not accuse about.

THE DECENT

Grandfathered (Fox, Tuesday at 8pm) 5.34 actor viewers, 1.5 appraisement in the 18-to-49 demographic

The Grinder (Fox, Tuesday at 8:30pm) 4.98 million, 1.5 rating

* Life in Pieces (CBS, Monday at 8:30pm) 8.71 million, 1.9 appraisement / premiered with 11.28 million, 2.6 rating

* Rosewood (Fox, Wednesday at 8pm) 6.23 million, 2.0 appraisement / premiered with 7.54 million, 2.4 rating

Perfectly accept debuts for Fox's new ball block of beforehand guys you admit on a night that's bedeviled by The Voice and NCIS. Anything aloft a 1.5 would accept been too optimistic of a prediction, so I would assumption Fox is blessed abundant with those numbers, abnormally aback it had Utopia fetor up the collective with 2.48 million/0.9 endure division in the aforementioned time slot. This was a no-pressure bearings for all complex as all anyone capital to do was bewitch the demons of that terrible, awful, abominable absoluteness appearance and the afire atrium it larboard in Fox's schedule, wallet, and ego. However, New Girl alveolate a 1.7 appraisement on Tuesday endure year (at 9pm) with a abate admirers (3 million), so Stamos and Lowe accept some plan to do. (Though to be fair, New Girl aired a anniversary beforehand adjoin beneath antagonism and fell to a 1.3 in Anniversary 2.)

There was some accepted big-time aerobatics from Life in Pieces, which had a abrupt seven-tenths bead from its premiere. But CBS's affair is beneath on Life in Pieces and added on its countdown The Big Bang Theory, which went from a 4.5 appraisement for its premiere to a 3.6 in Anniversary 2. Has the ball juggernaut absent its luster? If TBBT fails, a lot of CBS's agenda is in trouble. And Rosewood did appealing able-bodied in its additional week, but some bigger assimilation would accept landed it in the "good" category.

THE BAD

Code Black (CBS, Wednesday at 10pm) 8.58 actor viewers, 1.5 appraisement in the 18-to-49 demographic

* The Muppets (ABC, Tuesday at 8pm) 5.78 million, 2.0 appraisement / premiered with 9.01 million, 2.9 rating

* Scream Queens (Fox, Tuesday at 8pm) 3.46 million, 1.4 appraisement / premiered with 4.04 million, 1.7 rating

* Heroes Reborn (NBC, Thursday at 8pm) 5.00 million, 1.6 appraisement / premiered with 6.09 million, 2.0 rating

* The Player (NBC, Thursday at 10pm) 4.58 million, 1.0 appraisement / premiered with 4.68 million, 1.2 rating

* Blood & Oil (ABC, Sunday at 9pm) 5.19 million, 1.2 appraisement / premiered with 6.3 million, 1.4 rating

Welcome to the plight of a lot of new shows, area the bigger block of shows already acreage in the "bad" class in the additional anniversary of abatement television. New medical ball Code Black was absolutely banal in its debut, assault Nashville (1.1) but accident to Chicago P.D. (1.7) in the 10pm hour on Wednesday. In fact, for the night, the alone added appearance it exhausted was The Mysteries of Laura, and no one will anytime blow about that. Don't apprehend this to stick about abundant longer.

The Muppets had the bigger bead of any new show, accident about an absolute ratings point and over a third of its audience. Sound the anxiety and accumulate a abutting eye on this one, addition big bead would spell doom. The acceptable news: DVR Live+3 numbers bumped the premiere up to a 3.8 rating! But area did all those humans go in Anniversary 2? Scream Queens connected to abort with live-viewing but did accept one of the bigger bumps for its premiere with Live+3 numbers added (all the way up to a 2.7). And Heroes Reborn had a agnate week, accident a fifth of its ratings audience, but aswell accepting the abundant account that the premiere jumped from a 2.0 to a 3.1 appraisement with Live+3 abstracts included. But again, area were those humans for live-viewing in Anniversary 2? Young kids watch TV on their own time like a agglomeration of monsters, I guess! The Player and Blood & Oil took addition footfall appear abandoning with baby drops. Both are important addle pieces for their networks' schedules, so it will be absorbing to see how accommodating ABC and NBC are with them.

THE AWFUL

* Minority Report (Fox, Monday at 9pm) 2.56 actor viewers, 0.9 appraisement in the 18-to-49 demographic / premiered with 3.10 million, 1.1 rating

We accept our aboriginal apportioned appraisement for a new show, and already afresh Minority Report is the alone "awful" aerialist here, admitting cases can be fabricated for The Player and Blood & Oil. How continued until Minority Report is axed for Empire repeats or something like Lucifer? Not anon enough; Minority Report is accomplishing annihilation for the network.
