-Ratings Breakdown:
Opposite repeats of CBS’ CSI and Shark, ABC scored an easy Thursday victory, with an advantage over the No. 2 network (CBS in total viewers, NBC in adults 18-49) of 5.57 million viewers and 30 percent among adults 18-49. ABC’s Ugly Betty kicked-off the evening as the most-watched show in the 8 p.m. hour, but NBC’s My Name is Earl and The Office were No. 1 among key adults 18-49. Ugly Betty averaged 13.42 million viewers with a second-place 4.4/12 in the demo; while the NBC comedies rose to a season-high as follows:
8:00 p.m. My Name is Earl
Viewers: 10.90 million (#2), A18-49: 4.7/13 (#1)
8:30 p.m. The Office
Viewers: 10.18 million (#2), A18-49: 5.0/13 (#1)
Over at CBS, episode No. 2 of the ridiculous Armed & Famous (which I incorrectly referred to as Armed & Dangerous yesterday) finished third in both total viewers (7.81 million) and adults 18-49 (2.7/ 7). Comparably, Armed & Idiotic…oops, I mean Armed & Famous… debuted one night earlier with a similar 8.07 million viewers and a 2.9/ 8 in the demo.
Also at 8 p.m. was the CW’s healthy Smallville (Viewers: #4, 4.62 million; A18-49: #4, 2.0/ 5), and struggling Fox comedies ‘Til Death (Viewers: #4, 4.68 million; A18-49: #4t, 1.8/ 5) and The War at Home (Viewers: #5, 4.32 million; A18-49: #5, 1.9/ 5).
At 9 p.m., Grey’s Anatomy on ABC reigned supreme with 22.94 million viewers and a 9.3/22 among adults 18-49. Next was a repeat of CBS’ CSI (Viewers: #2, 11.87 million; A18-49: #2t, 3.4/ 8), and NBC comedies Scrubs (Viewers: #3, 7.82 million; A18-49: #2, 4.0/10) and 30 Rock (Viewers: #3, 6.06 million; A18-49: #3, 2.9/ 7). To demonstrate how weak 30 Rock is, take a look at the four NBC comedies and notice the erosion.
NBC/Thursday
8:00 p.m. My Name is Earl
Viewers: 10.90 million (#2), A18-49: 4.7/13 (#1)
8:30 p.m. The Office
Viewers: 10.18 million (#2), A18-49: 5.0/13 (#1)
9:00 p.m. Scrubs
Viewers: 7.82 million (#3), A18-49: 4.0/10 (#2)
9:30 p.m. 30 Rock
Viewers: 6.06 million (#3), A18-49: 2.9/ 7 (#3)
In other words, from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. NBC dipped by 4.84 million viewers and 38 percent among adults 18-49. Is 30 Rock really a show worth keeping?
Also in the 9 p.m. hour was Fox’s soon-to-conclude The O.C. (Viewers: #4, 3.80 million; A18-49: #4, 1.7/ 4) and
the CW’s Supernatural (Viewers: #5, 3.21 million; A18-49: #5, 1.4/ 3). Sorry Supernatural, but retention of just 69 percent in total viewers and 70 percent among adults 18-49 out of Smallville (opposite the repeat of CSI) lands you in the loser’s circle for the first time this season.
NBC’s ER led the 10 p.m. hour with 12.06 million viewers and a 5.0/13 among adults 18-49, but to the analysts who consistently refer to the veteran medical drama as up in the ratings, the year-ago average was a considerably heftier 13.97 million viewers and a 6.2/16 in the demo. Isn’t it time to think of finally retiring ER?
Second at 10 p.m. was ABC’s Men in Trees (Viewers: 10.26 million; A18-49: 3.6/ 9), followed by a repeat of CBS’ Shark (Viewers: 10.21 million; A18-49: 2.8/ 8). As much as I am personally rooting for Men in Trees, retention of just 45 percent in total viewers and 39 percent among adults 18-49 out of Grey’s Anatomy, and erosion in the second half hour (Viewers: 11.48 to 9.03 million; A18-49: 4.1/11 to 3.0/ 8) is concerning and worthy of being labeled a loser.
