FOX wrapped the last of its Fall reality slate last week in anticipation of premiering its scripted shows this week. The Floor wrapped its first season down three hundred thousand viewers, but will likely be renewed. We Are Family dropped another two hundred thousand viewers it couldn't afford. Its chances for renewal are iffy. The good news for the Sunday animation block is at least the four shows didn't hemorrhage more viewers last week. The Simpsons and Grimsburg were up one hundred thousand viewers each. Krapopolis and The Great North were low, but even.

CBS premiered Elsbeth to middling numbers. If the show has any chance of renewal, it needs to improve its ratings and quickly. Tracker picked up three hundred thousand viewers and took the top spot for scripted dramas last week. The freshman series should be easily renewed for a second season. FBI lost almost a million viewers last week. Spin-offs FBI International and FBI Most Wanted were down four hundred thousand viewers each. NCIS lost four hundred thousand viewers who apparently only checked in with the show for its tribute episode to David McCallum. NCIS: Hawai'i picked up two hundred thousand viewers. All of the FBI and NCIS shows should be renewed for another season.
