Surprise! Football is king for yet another week. FOX, however was not, with The Simpsons (1.5) leading off the 8pm hour down over a full ratings point from last week's football-inflated result. Bob's Burgers (1.0) returned to the line-up this week and performed slightly below The Last Man On Earth (1.1) in the 9:30 time slot and Brooklyn 9-9 (1.3) in the 8:30 half-hour. The former also tied year-to-year time slot occupant Mulaney, which if you remember was quickly moved to the 7pm time slot and forgotten about. All three results are disappointingly low, especially for this early in the season. As FOX had football this week last season, Family Guy's RERUN outperformed what it did last night (1.4).

ABC started the night with the season premiere of America's Funniest Home Videos (1.1), which lost a tenth from last season's premiere. Looks like there was no new curiosity in having a new host. After, Once Upon a Time (1.6) held even with was down two tenths from last week, but is still down from the 2.7 it had this time last season. Looks like this may be the new norm for the fairytale Sunday entry. And receiving a whopping 50% retention was Blood & Oil (0.8), which is doing no favors to Quantico (1.6), which fell for the first time. On the bright side, Quantico is up significantly from last season's Revenge, which had a 1.2 this time last year.

As expected, 60 Minutes, which didn't start until 7:30, saw some nasty half-hour drops (3.5/2.4) from its NFL lead-in (6.5). Taking another steep drop from that was the 8:30 half-hour of Madam Secretary (1.6), which settled at a 1.3 in its final half-hour. The Good Wife (1.2/1.1) looks to be about even with last week, for better or worse. Not starting until 10:30, the first half hour of CSI: Cyber (0.9) did dismal, and half a ratings point worse than its mother show in the same time slot last season. No word on its 11pm half-hour, but I can't assume it gets better.

What did you think of last night's ratings? Agree or disagree with my analysis? Leave a comment below and maybe it will be featured as the Comment of the Week!
