There were some big losses on Wednesday — Mr. Sunshine and Off the Map on ABC and Minute to Win It on NBC were particularly hard hit. Survivor’s premiere was down 20% in the 18-49 demographic when compared to last fall’s. Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior had an okay debut but CBS is likely disappointed, considering the immediate success with last season’s NCIS: Los Angeles spin-off.
Here are the final ratings for all of the network shows on Wednesday, with percentages (gain/loss) as compared to the last original episode. They’ll be figured into the season averages for our network rankings posts at the end of the week.

Liked the team on new Suspect Behavior – curious about the characters. Seem to be more “human” than original CM characters who sometimes seem robotic
I was willing to give CM: Suspect Behavior a chance before I learned it interferes with one of the two live showings of “Justified” — oh, sure, I ~could~ only watch Justified once, but it’s just so much fun that I’d rather watch that show twice live than anything else once.
I watched the CM: Suspect Behavior season opener and I was disappointed. There just aren’t that many great “action” shows on so I’ll probably tune in but the first ep wasn’t that great.
MR. Sunshine is funny but its surrounded by shows that aren’t so that can’t be good.
