With ABC sinking on this heavily traveled Thanksgiving Eve (all three of their freshman series posted significant week-to-week losses, and series low numbers), CBS remained a solid first, with a slight increase in total viewership from the week prior.

NBC meanwhile got good results from a special two-hour airing of Deal or No Deal. The CW saw reduced results for a new episode of America’s Next Top Model, while Fox aired repeats of its comedy duo and a new episode of Kitchen Nightmares (which was also down).

Fox, however, still manages to eek out an A18-49 victory thanks to the night’s most-watched program in that demo House.

CBS remained a solid first place for the evening, while ABC and NBC battled it out for second, with ABC coming out on top among households, but NBC taking second among viewers and adults 18-49, thanks in large part to the evening’s most-watched program (Deal or No Deal).

Numb3rs was the evening’s most-watched series series among adults 18-49.

Over at ABC, Women’s Murder Club was unable to take advantage of its Thursday night special showing after Grey’s Anatomy, as the series posted week-to-week losses.

My full analysis follows after the jump.

Jorja Fox’s last episode of CSI helped propel CBS to first place for the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49.

However, ABC remained very close in the demo thanks to the evening’s most-watched show in that category, Grey’s Anatomy.

Women’s Murder Club failed in its special post-Grey’s Anatomy timeslot, with below 50% retention.  Additionally, the show wasn’t able to match last Friday’s viewer total.
