Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, February 14, 2008 February 15, 2008 3:29 pm

CBS pulled in front on Thursday night among households and viewers (and tying for second among adults 18-49), thanks to a fresh installment of Survivor: Micronesia and solid results from repeats of CSI and Without a Trace.

ABC, however, still managed to take first place for the evening among adults 18-49 thanks to Lost, which was the nights most-watched program in the demo, households and viewers.

There was some decline in the viewership of Lost though, as the program declined by more than 1.5 million viewers (-11%) and -12% in the key A18-49 demo.

Week two of freshman dramas Eli Stone (ABC) and Lipstick Jungle (NBC) didn’t fare so well. Eli Stone’s drop was a little less severe (-11% among viewers) than Lipstick Jungle’s however (-19%).

There was nothing unusual with Tuesday nights ratings, as Hollywood week was kind to American Idol, which posted solid week-to-week gains, to give Fox an expected ratings win.

Elsewhere on the night, the return of Jericho in its new timeslot, and day, drew poor results. The show was down by more than 4.5 million viewers from its series premiere last season. The only good news was that compared to last season’s finale, the show held up fairly well among total audience, and grew by 19% among adults 18-49.
