· L+3: The Nov. 6 "Revolution" added 55% or 0.79 of a point to its next-day "live plus same day" 18-49 rating (to a 2.23 in L+3 from a 1.44 in L+SD) and in total viewers, added 41% or 2.127 million persons (7.335 million vs. 5.208 million. The 0.79 increase going from last week's L+SD to L+3 rating is "Revolution's" biggest 18-49 lift of the season, giving the show its top L+3 rating in five weeks (since Oct. 2).
