Ratings Analysis: Kitchen Nightmares (0.25, -0.10) and Special Forces (0.20, -0.10) both crashed to new season lows, with each Fox program shedding a tenth of a point. It is clear that the extended break hurt this pair quite a bit. On Fox, the "Chargers v. Jets" NFL game (1.38) was a few ticks lower than last week's "Raiders v. Lions" (1.64). NBC's The Voice (0.47, -0.04) declined when compared to last Monday, but The Irrational (0.28, +0.01) increased ever so slightly. Reruns of NCIS (0.17/0.15/0.16) aired from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on CBS. The CW went with the season premieres of Masters of Illusion (0.05) and World's Funniest Animals (0.07), with Animals building on Illusion in the 9:30 p.m. time slot. A repeat of Penn & Teller: Fool Us (0.05) was present in the 8 p.m. hour.
Finals Update: "NFL: Chargers v. Jets" (+0.3) adjusted up.
