Gotham stood tall in the ratings Monday night, matching the season premiere with 4.6 million viewers and a 1.6 rating, but that's the end of the good news as basically everything else went down in live ratings.
Of course, producers also recently admitted that live ratings are now the least of their concerns, while the Live+3 and Live+7 (which include time shifted viewing on demand, on Hulu, and on DVR) are the new deciding factor, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
Blindspot, the latest from powerhouse producer Greg Berlanti, had the smallest drop, only 16%, with 9.1 million viewers and a 2.6 rating. In the aforementioned time-shifted ratings, the Blindspot premiere rose to number 1 among all new series last week.
Big Bang Theory stayed in the top spot overall of produced shows (Monday Night Football won, but sports don't count in that category), but saw a 20% dip to 3.6 rating and 14.9 million viewers. Minority Report dropped about 18% to 1.1 and 2.7 million viewers, a drop in an already slow start for the new science fiction show.
Castle, starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, had an increase in the second part of its two-part premiere from last week, despite a controversial ending that may change its viewership next week.
