Still on its way to the TV graveyard, A Gifted Man was adjusted up a tenth of an adults 18-49 ratings point versus Friday's preliminary ratings.
The Pac-12 Football Championship on Fox drew a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating and 4.49 million viewers. Not surprisingly, folks didn't want to watch Oregon crush a hapless UCLA team.

Was hoping Nikita would get adjusted down to a 0.4 but at least it held at its crappy 0.5.
First time watching A Gifted Man, actually loved the episode. If it wasnt getting cancelled due to low ratings I would be investing in this show. I just can’t invest my time with a show that is bound to get canceled so soon.
As far as demographics go this was a poor night for all networks. All the CBS shows had a pretty old audience.
Nikita is also looking like the first show to be axed by the CW. Dreadful numbers.
I wonder how long it’l be till Michael(Bondoel) comes along to convince us all over 10 pages at least that Nikitas numbers are good and that it’l be renewed as he does with every Nikita topic literally.
There really is no way to guess at adjustments, is there? Was expecting an up tick for SPN.
Boo for no SPN adjustment up. With 1.89 million viewers I thought for sure it would be.
1.89 million is the most viewers SPN has in a few weeks, no?
Good grief everything was down Friday.
“There really is no way to guess at adjustments, is there?”
In the case of live events, and/or known local pre-emptions there is often a way to guess the direction of likely adjustments.
“Was expecting an up tick for SPN.”
Why? Because one of our commenters predicted one? Caveat emptor.
@Mae
Since Oct 21st yes. I think it’l be enough for a final season.
@The End
I really don’t think Michael is Bondoel..
Disappointed that Nikita wasn’t adjusted up, hopefully it can at least air its full season.

As far as I know Bondoel was blocked so I assume that means his IP. Otherwise he’d continue to post on different names.
@Ian M
Quite a few people came to that conclusion as both posters rabidly defend Nikita to the death, and as one dissapeared another emerges with the same characteristics. I had a long discussion with Michael about Nikita and it was almost like talking with Bondoel, except he wasn’t claiming 100 million asians watch the show.
For the record, Michael and Bondoel are/were the same person. And he/they are blocked, but our methods are not absolute.
@Bill
Interesting. The sudden use of punctuation confused me. Thanks for clearing that one up.
Dreadful numbers for Nikita. Especially, since it was the mid-season finale.
@Bill
““Was expecting an up tick for SPN.”

No need for the sarcasm Bill. It is by no means unreasonable to have thought an upward adjustment for SPN was possible. And for perfectly logical reasons ie not just ‘because someone else said so’. It has been adjusted up to a 0.8 several times this season and the total viewers this week was at the level where, in previous weeks, there had been upward adjustments. Not sure why the patronizing tone.
lol @rob why do you hate nikita so much? or do you say this just to provoke Bondoel??
I actually expected some drops in the CW thanks to sports preemptions in BLtimore
Nikita will definitely not be back next season.
@Bill
Can you confirm Bondoel was also LONE?
@Victor Hugo, @rob60990 is just a jerk/troll who gets the modicum of joy in his life from making other people angry, that’s all. Pretty typical for TVBTN.
