THE WEEK AHEAD: October 9-15, 2017

Here is a look at Week #3!

ABC
Definitely the biggest success story of Week 2 on any network was the performance of The Good Doctor on Monday night, completely holding its premiere audience. The second episode seemed to be pretty well received by fans so it'll be interesting to see how it does in Week 3. I thought the Tuesday lineup slightly underwhelmed and I think Kevin (Probably) Saves the World could have a sizable drop. Scandal also got off to a slow start and TGIT is looking pretty tired except for the show that won't quit, Grey's Anatomy.

MONDAY
8:00 Dancing with the Stars
10:00 The Good Doctor

TUESDAY
8:00 The Middle
8:30 Fresh Off the Boat
9:00 Black-ish
9:30 The Mayor
10:00 Kevin (Probably) Saves the World

WEDNESDAY
8:00 The Goldbergs

9:00 Modern Family
9:30 American Housewife

SATURDAY
8:00 College Football

SUNDAY
7:00 The Toy Box
8:00 America's Funniest Home Videos
9:00 Shark Tank
10:00 Ten Days in the Valley

CBS
CBS saw drops on every night except Thursday football in Week #2. Most pronounced was Monday night where 9JKL is no Young Sheldon and the 9pm hour collapsed. I don't feel great about its chances in Week 3 but I think the other nights could mostly stabilize.

MONDAY
8:00 The Big Bang Theory
8:30 9JKL
9:00 Kevin Can Wait
9:30 Me, Myself, & I
10:00 Scorpion

SUNDAY

7:30 60 Minutes
8:30 Wisdom of the Crowd
9:30 NCIS: Los Angeles
10:30 Madam Secretary

NBC
NBC is having some problems with its new dramas as The Brave and Law & Order True Crime have been underwhelming. Another drop in Week 3 could put them in fractional numbers despite their big lead-ins and that's no good. Will & Grace also had a big week two drop so it'll be interesting to see if the drops are going to keep coming of if it will start to level off.

MONDAY
8:00 The Voice
10:00 The Brave

TUESDAY
8:00 The Voice
9:00 This is Us
10:00 Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders

SATURDAY

10:00 Saturday Night Live (Repeat)

SUNDAY
7:00 Football Night in America
8:30 Sunday Night Football: NY Giants at Denver

FOX
FOX had a solid start this week from The Gifted, but those types of shows can often have big week two drops so we'll have to see how its second week goes. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are awfully low for FOX but that's nothing new.

MONDAY
8:00 Lucifer
9:00 The Gifted

8:00 Lethal Weapon
9:00 The Mick
9:30 Brooklyn Nine-Nine

SUNDAY
7:00 Ghosted (Repeat)
7:30 Bob's Burgers
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 Ghosted
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 The Last Man on Earth

CW
After a couple weeks of still being in summer mode, the CW is back in full force this week with season or series premieres across the board. I'm not feeling too confident about the numbers for the two new dramas especially Valor. Tuesday should easily be the best night for the CW.

MONDAY
8:00 Supergirl (Season Premiere)
9:00 Valor (SERIES PREMIERE)

TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash (Season Premiere)
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Season Premiere)

WEDNESDAY
8:00 Riverdale (Season Premiere)
9:00 Dynasty (SERIES PREMIERE)

THURSDAY
8:00 Supernatural (Season Premiere)
9:00 Arrow (Season Premiere)

FRIDAY
8:00 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season Premiere)
9:00 Jane the Virgin (Season Premiere)

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- After two big results in the ratings, ABC has quickly given The Good Doctor a full season order. The show seems to, for now, have been a fix for ABC's Monday 10pm problem.

- Pauley Perrette will be leaving NCIS this spring after 15 seasons. Her departure will leave just Mark Harmon and David McCallum as series regulars since the very beginning in 2003.
