The combination of the World Series (albiet relatively low rated) and a fresh episode of Glee propelled Fox to the top of the weekly ratings where they gained 4.5 million viewers over last week's average.  Fox's gain seemed to be NBC's loss as the peacock network, who aired reruns of both of its Law & Order series, fell to a season low of 6.6 million, down 1.4 million from last week.  CBS also lost viewers, down 600,000 from last week.

NBC's shows continue to perform poorly – only a measly three of its shows landed in the top 40 including the holiday special, Scared Shrekless at number 37.  The other two were football related.  Something needs to be done at that network and fast.  Even former hit series, The Apprentice, seems to have been fired by the American public.  Its ratings are so low that it threatens to be taken over by Univision's Rosa de Guadalupe.

CBS's new series continue to perform relatively well although only Tom Selleck's Blue Bloods has managed to become a top 20 hit.  Former CBS champ, Hawaii Five-O, bleeds viewers each week and will fall out of the top 30 on next week's chart unless it stabilizes its ratings slide. 

Over at ABC, its fortunes rise and fall with Dancing with the Stars, Modern Family, and Castle which now outperforms both Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy.  We'll see if that continues in the weeks ahead now that the November sweeps stories are set to begin.
