A death knell perhaps...

Shark Tank (rerun) was stronger in the demo and OV (0.7/3.71) and that seemingly created a better run-in for Agents of Shield which also rose in the demo and OV.

(Caveat: It's also the holiday weekend, so it could be an temporary bloat.)

From this (only) one data point, it appears that Once might soon (have to get more data points) appear to be a very weak, possibly problematic lead-in show. If Once looks like a bad lead-in for a 9 pm show, it might be either an acceptance of a weak lead-in or cancelling it due to it possibly hurting other shows.

As of yet, I don't think the show's ratings gives anything more than a toss-up, but if the trend is a rerun of a game show is better and a better lead-in, Once has a shaky future.
