· "About a Boy" (1.9/6 in 18-49, 7.2 million viewers overall from 9:01-9:31 p.m. ET) is currently up +6% week to week in 18-49 (to a 1.9 from a 1.8), making this the second straight week "About a Boy" has generated week-to-week growth in 18-49 and total viewers, pending updates. Versus two weeks ago, "Boy" is up +12% in 18-49 rating (1.9 vs. 1.7). In total viewers, "About a Boy" is currently up +2% versus one week ago (7.157 million vs. 6.992 million) and up +4% versus two weeks ago (7.157 million vs. 6.866 million).

· An encore telecast of "Chicago Fire" (0.9/3 in 18-49, 4.3 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m. ET) tied ABC's original "Celebrity Wife Swap" for #2 in the slot among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49.
