On Wednesday night, ABC started things off with a bang as the new Halloween special Toy Story of Terror delivered excellent numbers. Not only will we likely see this next Halloween again, we will probably also continue to see Toy Story specials with these numbers. The bad news was the big ratings barely helped Back in the Game at 8:30pm as it was actually down a tenth in viewers and up just a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Modern Family was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9:30pm, Super Fun Night took another tumble in week three. It was down six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. Is this continues to drop, why not try The Goldbergs or Trophy Wife in this slot like everyone has been saying since the schedule came out. At 10pm, Nashville was dead even with last week.

CBS had gains across the board. Survivor was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's been up and down this season. At 9pm, Criminal Minds was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while CSI was up seven tenths in viewers and also a tenth in the demo at 10pm. On NBC, Revolution was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for another series low. It is withering away on Wednesdays week by week. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was up a strong 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo as it rebounded from last week. At 10pm though, Ironside fell another four tenths in viewers and tenth in the demo. NBC is probably waiting to see if things fall apart even more on Thursdays this week before making any decisions on Ironside. FOX had the MLB playoffs and they were slightly stronger than The X Factor.
