Week 3 (10/5-10/11) TV Power Rankings

With most shows having a great week, HOUSE still wins with smart, funny, and controversial episode about a African dictator (James Earl Jones) and the dilemma to save his life or not. PSYCH has good week with Halloween themed episode, and also DOLLHOUSE, FAMILY GUY, and NCIS: LA have big upgrades from previous episodes to move them up the rankings. FLASHFORWARD and DEFYING GRAVITY continue to falter. CRIMINAL MINDS has yet to show anything worth watching this season and NCIS drops down after back to back mediocre episodes. FRINGE and THE OFFICE hold strong.
