Thursday night had NBC with their first go-round of Thursday Night Football but the Panthers-Saints game wasn't too intriguing and it was below most CBS Thursday games. On ABC, fall finales allowed Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder to jump. Grey's Anatomy was up seven tenths in viewers and a nice three tenths in the demo while Murder was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. In between the two of them was Notorious, which was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Notorious will keep airing in December to finish its run but Grey's and Scandal won't be back until January, when they return with Scandal. On FOX, Rosewood was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Pitch was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. I'm not sure why last week surged three tenths only for this week to drop back again. At 8:30pm, The Great Indoors was down four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. A 1.4 demo is pretty unimpressive for a show following Big Bang. At 9pm, Mom was up half a million viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Life in Pieces continued to be a pleasant surprise as it was up half a million viewers and even in the demo. It's interesting how much better a 1.4 demo looks at 9:30pm than 8:30pm. At 10pm, Pure Genius was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on the CW, DC's Legends of Tomorrow was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Supernatural was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: How to Get Away with Murder (ABC)
