CBS once again holds off ABC to take first place on the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49. CSI remained ahead of Grey’s Anatomy as the night’s most-watched program among households and viewers, while Grey’s Anatomy took top honors among adults 18-49. Though both shows were still incredibly strong, they went through weekly declines, with CSI suffering the most.
In its second week on the air, Big Shots took a bit of a dive.
And in season premiere news, it certainly appears as if the Emmy win for 30 Rock had a great affect on that shows ratings. The series posted record high viewership among adults 18-49, earning a rating in the demo 17% higher than last year’s premiere, and even more impressive, a whopping 42% above where the show left off with this past April. The other season premiere, The CW’s Supernatural, didn’t fare as well, with a steep yearly decline among adults 18-49.

The series premiere of Pushing Daisies was strong for ABC, as the network managed to stay ahead of CBS among households, viewers and adults 18-49 for the second straight week.
Week two of the Private Practice vs. Bionic Woman battle goes to Private Practice in all categories. While both series were still strong, they both dropped week-to-week, though Bionic Woman had a much more severe decline. Private Practice was the night’s most watched program among adults 18-49.
The real winner of the 9:00 p.m. hour though was CBS (second overall on the night)’s Criminal Minds which after a below-par season premiere last week rebounded for a strong first place finish on the night among households and viewers.
In the 10:00 p.m. hour, ABC got a solid performance out of Dirty Sexy Money, which held onto 100% of its series premiere A18-49 audience, while NBC’s took a bit of a tumble.
Over at The CW, the struggling new network saw some good news with a bump in the ratings for freshman drama Gossip Girl.
