ABC’s returning dramas Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy (the nights most-watched program among adults 18-49) and Lost (now in its new post-Grey’s Anatomy timeslot) led ABC to a ratings victory last night among adults 18-49. CBS however, was still stronger among total viewers, thanks to the nights most-watched program CSI.
The head-to-head battle of CSI and Grey’s Anatomy remains competitive, but both shows drew lower-than average numbers. CSI was off the most (3.35 million/17% among viewers and 22% among adults 18-49), while Grey’s Anatomy was off by 1.66 million/9% among viewers and 11% among adults 18-49 from its last newly aired episode. Curious as to how the two shows have done against each other? Check out the following two CSI vs. Grey’s Anatomy charts–VIEWERS ||| ADULTS 18-49.
Lost debuted in its new 10:00 p.m. time slot to solid results. Retention from its lead-in was a very impressive 87% among adults 18-49, and it grew in each category from its last newly aired episode: Households by 9%, Viewers by 870,000/8% and A18-49 by 20%.
Everything else seemed to be down on the evening, including the NBC’s comedies. The Office suffered steep declines of 2.3 million/23% among viewers and 22% among adults 18-49.
