HOW TO READ THIS: The SHOW column refers to the change from last season's premiere of a show to this season's premiere of the same show. If last season's premiere was outside of premiere week or on a different night, I give you the date. The SLOT column refers to the change within that timeslot from last year's premiere week to this year's, regardless of what's airing there. If something different aired there last year, I denote what it is.

Parenthood's "SHOW" comparison compares the series premiere on the denoted date to the season 2 premiere from last week, so neither data point involves last night's 2.5. As is the case every single time, the "SLOT" column strictly compares this week (Parenthood's 2.5) and premiere week last year (Jay Leno's 2.5).

To simplify the Dancing comparisons, I averaged the recap and the results show of Dancing from last night and compared it to last season's two-hour Tuesday premiere. If you'd rather count the 9:00 hour as the only original one last night, that hour is +26% over last season's two hours.
