Sunday Final Nationals: Lackluster Returns for Various Season Premieres on ABC and Fox

The Dallas Cowboys easily dominated the Chicago Bears 31-17 on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” and so did the game’s network over its Sunday prime time competition.

Eight series across three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox) premiered their new seasons on the evening: only one of them drew over 4.1 million same-day viewers and a 1.4 adults 18-49 same-day rating: the 2-hour eighth season premiere of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS) which debuted on its new night.

With high-profile series (‘The Walking Dead’, ‘Westworld’) premiering on cable in upcoming Sundays, ABC and Fox each may sink even further on the night.
