Biggest fall TV gainers (and droppers) so far

You already read about the "Pushing Daisies" plunge and the fall doom-n-gloom headlines, but which TV shows have grown and plummeted the most?

Here are the 10 biggest broadcast gainers and droppers among returning shows that have premiered so far, comparing their adults 18-49 premiere rating this season to last.

Gainers

1. CW SUPERNATURAL 1.2 to 1.7 = 42%
2. CBS CRIMINAL MINDS 3.5 to 4.7 = 34%
3. CBS HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 3.3 to 4.0 = 21%
4. CBS CSI: MIAMI 4.6 to 5.2 = 13%
5. CBS NCIS 3.2 to 3.6 = 13%
6. CBS TWO AND A HALF MEN 4.8 to 5.3 = 10%
7. CBS CSI: NY 3.7 to 4.0 = 8%
8. CW GOSSIP GIRL 1.6 to 1.7 = 6%
9. CW ONE TREE HILL 1.6 to 1.7 = 6%
10. FOX AMERICAN DAD 3.1 to 3.2 = 3%

Droppers

1. ABC PUSHING DAISIES 4.4 to 2.0 = -55%
2. FOX TERMINATOR 4.2 to 2.4 = -43%
3. FOX DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS 2.9 to 1.7 = -41%
4. CBS WITHOUT A TRACE 4.7 to 2.8 = -40%
5. ABC PRIVATE PRACTICE 5.2 to 3.3 = -37%
6. CBS OLD CHRISTINE 3.2 to 2.1 = -34%
7. ABC DIRTY SEXY MONEY 3.6 to 2.4 = -33%

9. FOX SMARTER THAN 5TH GRADER 2.5 to 1.7 = -32%
10. NBC HEROES 7.3 to 5.0 = -32%

The caveats: CBS would likely point out that some of these shows changed time periods (such as, say, "Trace" and "Christine"). CBS' competitors would likely point out that shows like "Minds" and "Mother" dropped during their second weeks. And everybody would point out that some key titles like "CSI" have yet to premiere.

Fox Fringe 10.3 million / 4.0
CBS Mentalist 15.6 million / 3.6   
CBS Worst Week 9.9 million / 3.4
