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.

A tight race between the top four, results in a win on the evening among households by ABC and a win by FOX among viewers and adults 18-49.

In premiere news, ABC’s new sitcoms Cavemen and Carpoolers both did okay, with solid performances among adults 18-49, despite low overall turnout.

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.

CSI leads CBS to a household, viewer and adults 18-49 victory on the evening, as the long-running drama series manages to beat ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy in overall audience. Grey’s, which suffered through a yearly decline, was still able to win the night among adults 18-49.

Over at NBC, The Office had a successful transition to its new 9:00 p.m. timeslot, opening the new season with a series high rating among adults 18-49, but E.R. was off by a significant amount from last year’s premiere and My Name Is Earl performed on par with its year-ago opener.

ABC’s two other programs on the night, the season two premiere of Ugly Betty and the series premiere of Big Shots, performed well, but Ugly Betty was off a good deal from its series premiere last year, and Big Shots opened in a slightly weaker position than last year’s timeslot occupant (the now canceled Six Degrees) did, losing out to CBS’s relocated Without A Trace, which won the timeslot.

The CW’s Smallville got a good showing for its seventh season premiere, ahead of last year, while FOX’s ‘5th Grader’/’Lyrics’ duo declines in the face of increased competition.

ABC’s Dancing With the Stars: Results and solid premiere of Private Practice lead ABC to a Wednesday night victory among households, viewers and adults 18-49. ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money okay in debut.

CBS took second place among households and viewers with a declining Kid Nation and weaker than year-ago season premieres of both Criminal Minds and CSI: NY, while NBC got great results from its new series Bionic Woman and solid results, especially among adults 18-49, for the series premiere of Life to give the network a close second place finish among adults 18-49 for the evening.

Over at FOX, week two of freshman comedy Back to You declined, as did Kitchen Nightmares, but the decline wasn’t as steep as it was for sophomore comedy ‘Til Death.

The CW sees a big dropoff for week two of Gossip Girl and a solid performance from America’s Next Top Model.
