The new Thursday shows had a rough second week with none of them topping a 1.3. The most disappointing performance came from Shades of Blue. Earlier in the night on NBC, Heroes: Reborn was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The season finale is next week and NBC announced this week it will indeed be a limited series and not see a second season. At 9pm, The Blacklist was dead even with last week. After last week's promising debut, Shades of Blue took a big tumble in week two as it fell two million viewers and half a demo point. This was a pretty rough drop that gets it quickly out of the conversation of being a strong drama pal to the Dick Wolf shows and instead into the bubble conversation. On FOX, the second Thursday of American Idol was down 1.3 million viewers and half a demo point. It's already down to a 2.2 demo on Thursdays which doesn't bode well for the weeks ahead.

Everything was down some on CBS except for The Big Bang Theory, which was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Life in Pieces followed and was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. It seems like Life in Pieces dictates how the rest of the night does and in this case, everything followed suit. At 9pm, Mom was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Week two of Angel From Hell was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This is not a horrible second week drop but it already started pretty low. At 10pm, Elementary was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on ABC, Beyond the Tank was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while My Diet is Better Than Yours was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's horrible debut.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Shades of Blue (NBC)
