The Wednesday TV ratings for October 7th are in; here are some of the highlights:

  • At 8 p.m., CBS’s Survivor won the hour with a 2.0 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, and 8.95 million viewers.
  • Fox’s Rosewood dropped two tenths from last week to a 1.7 rating and 5.69 million viewers, although it appears to be picking up some early Empire viewers in its second half.
  • NBC’s The Mysteries of Laura also dropped a tad to a 1.1 rating and 7.11 million viewers, but the season premiere of Arrow on the CW was up a tenth from last year’s premiere to a 1.1 rating and 2.62 million viewers. Oliver, you have not failed these ratings.
