Thursday's Anatomy

Another Thursday and another victory for ABC and Grey's Anatomy. Although Grey's won the night, it lost a couple million viewers and some points in A18-49. CSI could maintain its numbers and only dropped 0.1 in A18-49. I wonder if FOX is happy with Fringe results though. I think Fringe would work much better on Mondays after House, but as long as they keep airing new episodes, I don't mind what they do. Flashforward still did good tying Survivor in A18-49 and almost in viewers. It was 10% in the demo against last week but still strong. Any bets on how much it will drop next week or how much it will raise? Having not Grey's Anatomy at 10pm was good for CBS and The Mentalist (up 12% from last week).

Epic!

Wow. I think Thursday's battles are going to be epic this year. First battle ended. Clear victory for ABC. More than clear! Yesterday night ABC was written all over the place. Grey's Anatomy return was big, and bigger than CSI (although CSI did better than last season finale). But what's more, Grey's Anatomy even did better than The Mentalist at 10 pm. The Mentalist was last year most watched new show and I think next week, without Grey's at 10pm, it will do much better. FOX couldn't do much better because Thursdays are a very difficult night and they behave pretty good against the premieres (FOX wasn't having any premiere yesterday). And lastly, Flashforward premiere did very good! Better than CBS Survivor in ratings and even viewers. That's pretty amazing for a new show. Hope next week it keeps doing good.

Maundy Thursday...

...or Holy Thursday. That's what Ben Silverman and NBC must be thinking right now. NBC went from worst network (even worse than the CW) on Wednesday to best network on Thursday. They couldn't be the best in viewers but they sure were best in demos. At 8p.m, The Office managed to by the first second (after Survivor) in the 18-49 category and first (by far) in the 18-34 category. At 8.30 p.m. the premiere of Parks and Recreation went down in both viewers and demos but was still good. At 9.m. (and back to The Office) NBC was first again in demos, but this time in both categories (even though CSI more than doubled NBC in viewers!!!)
But the war of the night was about to begin. At 10 p.m., both CBS and NBC premiered Harper's Island and Southland respectively. As we previewed before, Southland managed to gain viewers while Harper's Island lost them. Both shows look promising but I think NBC should be more interested in Southland to do well because it can be a show they can get renew for ext season, while Harper's Island is just a 13-episode show.
