CBS gave us the season premiere of the 3rd year drama UNFORGETTABLE, which drew 7.5 million viewers and an A18-49 rating of 1.0. That is down a bit from UNDERCOVER BOSS, in total viewers, and a drop of 30-40 percent in the demo ratings. But a 1.2 rating won the hour, by NBC.

ABC's line up was almost solid across the night, with exception of THE NEIGHBORS. Each of the three remaining shows were at the top of their hour in the A18-49 ratings.
