Back in the Game (ABC)
The good news: Unlike some of this season's instant duds, this comedy has been remarkably consistent, averaging 6.9 million viewers and a 1.95 in the adults-18-to-49 demo. Back in the Game has also improved over The Neighbors' performance in the timeslot last year, giving ABC a stronger bridge between The Middle and Modern Family.
The bad news: Despite the star power of James Caan, the show's Bad News Bears-style premise just hasn't connected with the audience. It's still shedding nearly 2 million of The Middle's viewers.
