Once Upon a Time and Revenge both fell six tenths from last week's season premieres. 666 Park Avenue fell four tenths to well under 2.0. Having the national NFL lead-in lifted 60 Minutes from the bottom of the list to the top. But not having the national NFL lead-in didn't hurt FOX Halloween Sunday too much.

New series low for The Mentalist.
