Modern Family, Survivor, and Animal Practice were each adjusted up a tenth while CSI was adjusted down a tenth among adults 18-49 versus the preliminary Wednesday broadcast ratings.
The unscrambled ratings for last night's FOX programming are also below. This was the chronology that happened in the Eastern Time zone.
- MLB Rain Delay Coverage (8-8:02pm)
- Ben And Kate repeat (8:02-8:32pm)
- MLB Rain Delay Coverage (8:33-8:40pm)
- The X Factor (8:40-9:47pm)
- The Mindy Project repeat (9:47-9:56pm)
- NLCS Game 3 Conclusion (9:56-10:45pm)
Obviously the rain delay and forced return to baseball caused chaos and just crushed their ratings for the night. The data in the rating table is as much as we received.

FOX Ben & Kate
NBC Guys With Kids 1.4
FOX The Mindy Project

@Honey Badger
ABC won’t pull Nashville just yet, it will have to fall more first.
No MLB data?
I’m still confused about FOX’s ratings. On the West Coast, a 2-hour repeat of “X Factor” aired in primetime. Were those ratings completely factored out, or did they impact the ratings we see in the table?
How did The Mindy Project’s repeat rating almost get what a regular episode would get?
FlopFactor down in the 2s like I predicted!
Go The Middle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAIL for Animal Practice
great for CW Arrow
CW Supernatural
now if they move Hart Of Dixie where it can get great ratings I will be happy, I do not like that it has to compete with The Voice on NBC
To be honest, I wouldn’t even think about FOX’s rating for last night. They are completely irrelevant the way I see it. I would think FOX would look at it the same way given how much of a mess it was between what happened in the East Coast and what aired in the West Coast.
Whew, so glad to see Supernatural and Arrow didn’t adjust down!
@Max
Have you been following what happened last night!!!
HOD sucks that’s why it has bad ratings.
Before the Voice sock puppets get too excited. The Fox numbers are meaningless in this case.
@HoneyBadger Arrow and Supernatural have to compete against X Factor and even baseball, which shares a male audience as does Arrow and Supernatural.
The truth of it is, Hart of Dixie isn’t drawing an audience, because not many people want to see it other than those who are already watching it. This is why CW is going to have to end their shows like 9O12O, Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, and Emily Owens, because people don’t want to watch shows like that anymore. That golden era for shows like that are fading, and fast.
Shows like Arrow and Supernatural target a much broader audience which is why they’ll do better in ratings.
Last night’s error with X-Factor is gonna bite Fox in the butt on Tuesday.
Glad Arrow remianed steady. Hopefully it can keep it up.
Nashville will still likely get additional episodes since ABC does have to order more of something. Great for MF.
Thnakfully NBC pulled AP. Should be interesting to see what Whitney gets there.

“@Honey Badger ABC won’t pull Nashville just yet, it will have to fall more first.”
you are right. When do you think that will happen?
I say in 3 weeks the Cancellation Bear and his friends Disney’s Country Bear jamboree, will feast on Nashville on ABC
