Parks & Recreation was adjusted up a tenth of an adults 18-49 ratings point versus Thursday's preliminary ratings.
And no surprise considering the local NFL pre-emptions, but all Fox and CBS shows were adjusted down by various amounts The Big Bang Theory (-0.1), Rules of Engagement (-0.2), Person Of Interest (-0.2), The Mentalist (-0.3), The X Factor (-0.1), Bones (-0.3).
Several CBS shows already had season lows in the preliminary ratings, the final rating is also a season low for Bones (and I believe The X Factor, am checking now).
