One of the bigger mysteries for me with regards to this fall’s schedules was the renewal of that Nick Cannon schlock. I wonder if they are just trying to keep him happy so he will stay on AGT.
Agree with Marc: MacGyver is still sliding, although with the competition as low as it is, CBS is sure to crow for some more weeks!
Blue Bloods rebounded nicely to be once again at 10 million.
