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.

No matter how, no matter when

It doesn't matter the day Idol is on air. It becomes instantly the most watched show of the night. Affected by Obama's press conference, FOX moved Idol to Thursday and started the night with 200 million viewers growing to 24 million in just 30 minutes. At 9pm ABC got the leadership with Grey's Anatomy with very good numbers too, most of all in the demos. Full details following.
