The third and final presidential debate caused more change among broadcast networks. It's not worth going into too much ratings detail on a night like this but a few things to note: Dancing with the Stars was down three tenths in viewers but up three tenths in the demo to its best numbers since the season premiere. The Voice was down a million viewers and half a demo point. We'll see how it does next week when it's back to two hours. And a repeat of 2 Broke Girls did as well as a new Partners last week in the 8:30pm slot.
