Foxs Cosmos held up in its second week, losing two tenths from last weeks Fox premiere (Cosmos debuted across 10 networks last week) to a 1.9. Earlier, Bobs Burgers rose two tenths to a 0.9 at 7 p.m., while American Dad was up a tenth from last weeks 7:30 p.m. slot to a 1.3. The Simpsons rose 19% to a 1.9 and Family Guy upticked a tenth to a 2.3 in its second week airing at 8:30 p.m. Fox finished in second with a 1.7/5.
