ONCE UPON A TIME is fall's biggest drama premiere

The premiere of ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME got its fairytale ending last night as it became the most-watched premiere of any new drama this fall, even despite the fact that IMDB released the full episode two days early.  The pilot episode drew in 12.8 million viewers with a 3.9 rating in the Adults 18-49 demo.

Here's a breakdown of how all the new network dramas did on their premieres:
• ONCE UPON A TIME (ABC) 3.9/12.8mil
• REVENGE (ABC) - 3.3/10mil
• PAN AM (ABC) - 3.2/11mil
• PERSON OF INTEREST (CBS) - 3.1/13.3mil
• TERRA NOVA (FOX) - 3.0/9.1mil
• UNFORGETTABLE (CBS) - 2.9/14mil
• CHARLIE'S ANGELS (ABC) - 2.1/8.8mil
• PRIME SUSPECT (NBC) - 1.8/6.1mil
• THE PLAYBOY CLUB (NBC) - 1.6/5mil
• A GIFTED MAN (CBS) - 1.4/9.3mil
• THE SECRET CIRCLE (CW) - 1.3/3.1mil
• RINGER (CW) - 1.2/2.7mil
• HART OF DIXIE (CW) - 0.8/1.8mil

ABC's having a great year with all three of the highest rated new drama premieres.  And The CW, as the smallest of the Big 5 networks, unsurprisingly had the three least watched premieres.  I'm sure FOX wishes TERRA NOVA were slightly higher on that list.  Of those 13 shows, 4 have received back-nine pickups (REVENGE and all three CW shows) and 2 have been canceled (THE PLAYBOY CLUB and CHARLIE'S ANGELS).  It'll be interesting to see what happens to the rest of the pack in the next couple of weeks.
