For season to-date (9/22/14-10/26/14 LIVE+SD), among Adults 18-49 we have NBC on top with a 2.6 rating, followed by CBS with a 2.3, ABC with a 1.9 and Fox with a 1.9.  In Total Viewers, it is CBS on top with 10.94 million, then NBC with 8.79 million, ABC is next with 7.34 million and Fox with 6.01 million.

Back to week 6 (Oct. 27-Nov. 2), read our full night-by-night analysis followed by how the sitcoms did! GREAT showings are in BOLD. If they are in bold in both total viewers and 18-49, then it is very impressive:
