Episode 3 almost always sees a drop across almost all shows because you get a surge of voters for the premiere and nearly all of them will stick around for episode 2 but but episode 3 you weed out the people who weren’t intrigued by episodes 1&2 so it’s a semi steepish drop and then the drop should taper off because at that point the show will have its core group of established viewers who will probably stick around for the rest of the season
Also totally agreeing with RG point Blood and Oil is pretty much a guaranteed cancellation Nashville has been in hot water for a long time and Castle’s not looking so great -I’m predicting a short final season pick up for Castle though – but also putting a new show up at Sunday @8 up against the Walking Dead is basically guaranteed DOA – OUAT is an established show with an established audience – I don’t think ABC will be too keen on replacing it because then they’d also have to find a fanbase to back the show
