NBC takes first on the evening with a strong performance from its Sunday Night Football telecast, though ABC and CBS remain a competitive second and third, respectably.

In series premiere news, just as with The CW’s other two new series on Sunday, the series premiere of Life is Wild goes by barely noticed.

My full analysis follows after the jump.

Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, October 4, 2007 October 6, 2007 12:30 am

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.

Full analysis after the jump.

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.

Full analysis after the jump.

ABC easily wins the night with a dominant two-hour edition of Dancing With the Stars.

Second week’s of new series The Big Bang Theory, Chuck and Journeyman all decline a bit, but not in any extreme amounts.

And the comedy lineup premiere on The CW performs poorly, including the series premiere of new comedy Aliens in America. The Game was the only bright spot on the night for The CW, with solid numbers and an increase over the year prior in all categories.
