The Battle of Thursday Night remains lively.
ABC's Grey's Anatomy beat CBS's CSI in the ratings, 8.5 to 6.8 in the 18 to 49 demo, but the crime drama pulled in more viewers. Grey's was watched by 20.6 million viewers while CSI was watched by 20.8 million, according to Nielsen overnights.
Survivor: Cook Islands also dominated its time period against solid ABC comedy Ugly Betty, and the James Woods lawyer drama Shark posted a week-to-week increase in viewers, from 13.3 million to 13.6 million.
At 8 p.m., Survivor came out with a 4.9, with Ugly Betty at a 4.1. NBC scored a combined 3.8 for My Name Is Earl and The Office, while The CW saw a 1.9 for Smallville. Fox earned a combined 1.8 for one new and one rerun episode of 'Til Death.
At 9 p.m., Grey's took its 8.5, with CSI at 6.8. NBC's Deal or No Deal scored a 3.8, and Fox's The O.C. landed with a 1.8. CW's Supernatural scared up a 1.4.
At 10 p.m., ER took the lead on NBC with a 5.8, Shark bit a 3.9, and ABC's repeat of Desperate Housewives (replacing the MIA Six Degrees) earned a 3.7.
Overall, ABC earned a 5.5 rating/14 share in 18-49s, with 14.1 million total viewers; CBS, 5.2/14, 16.2 million; NBC, 4.5/12, NBC, 11.5 million; Fox, 1.7/4, Fox, 4.2 million; The CW, 1.6/4, 3.8 million.
CSI is just the best all the show whether in Miami New york or Vegas all the boss men are so hot!! and the crimes so good it a Number 1 in my book.this comes from a british Fan.
great for csi! as always a fan favorite!!
Go CSI!!! Yay!
CSI and Grey's are excellent shows. Variety at best.
not really a big gap between GA and CSI ony .2. WOW THEY'RE ROLLIN NOW!!
YEAH!! CSI is back on top where it needs to be!! I'm glad GA is loosing maybe people are realizing that GA is just another chick show. NBC is loosing ratings of course, well they have stupid shows like Earl and The Office. But, I'm living in the moment of CSI being back on Top!!.
i watched the first series of geys anatomy & all i saw was them cure about 60 tumers & a bunch of boring chick moments.
Who on earth compared this to Scrubs??? a few months ago in one of these stories people were comparing it to scrubs but now I think maybe they were trying to trick me into downloading it because its awful rofl.
on the other hand I wouldn't even waste my time downloading CSI.
Definitly the best show of the night is The Office. I wonder how much of the U.S. version of The Office Ricky Gervais still writes because the level of comedy is suprisingly good for a U.S. show.
CSI is an ok show greys i dont like
The Office and Smallville are the only must sees for me. And they're both on at the same time!
I will take GA anytime over CIS. I like the storylines better on GA. Although bad things happen like for example, people dying, I would rather watch this show because of the relationships of the characters with each other.
maybe if they put a decent show on that night there would be a clear winner :p
CSI and Grey's both stink!
The Office should be #1 for the night!
CSI is having a great season, storyline wise.. and this is the 2nd time (I know not much difference) CSI has beat GA. CSI also won Week 2.
CSI RULES !!!!
Grey's anatomy sucks, go CSI :D
Both shows are great. That is why I have a DVR. But it only allows you to record one program whilst watching another. So, I have a VCR set up also.
Grey's IS THE BEST!!!
it'll be 1st in no time!!!
Yes! Go CSI!! Grey's is great BUT CSI IS DA BEST!!
CSI didn't win according to the other more reliable sources. (The Futon Critic, Zap2it) This is probably an error on TV.com's part.
GO CSI!!! I knew you could do it, you smart show, you. Now, just give us some shots of the boys shirtless!!!
ERlover_no1 : "ER rocks! still beating Shark and Six Degrees....Go ER!"What are you talking about.. Six Degrees wasn't on the schedule this week..
Grey's Anatomy is okay to let your brain unwind to but if you really want to use your head, CSI is much more exciting and suspenseful. At least most of the time.
Grey's Shmey's....CSI will always be the best.
ER rocks! still beating Shark and Six Degrees....Go ER!
Who gives a crap (okay maybe some people do,) they're both horrible and overrated (my awesome opinion, which is all that matters in this world.)
I'm a fan of both, but after 6+ seasons of basically the same thing, I'm getting tired of CSI. Perhaps if Grey's was still on Sundays I'd watch CSI (actually, I probably would) but Grey's is really getting good now, and that's what all my friends (especially the lady friends) watch on Thursdays, so it's a double win for me.
I hate that they put Grey's Anatomy, and Supernatural (Really great shows) up against each other. For some reason CSI is popular so putting them up against that show was really stupid! It's like their trying to get them canceled.
Grey's Anatomy? What a joke! CSI rocks da house!!!!
Thursday night is the best night for TV, just because of CBS! Survivor and CSI are my favourite shows and I have been watching Shark recently as well. The OC for Fox just proved how bad a show it is by its horrible rating. It should be cancelled; even a game show, Deal or No Deal, beat it!
Survivor is so overwith IMO, I used to watch but now I don't care period. Love Ugly Betty! I watch CSI and Shark don't care for Grey's Anatomy.
yawn...those shows aren't so great.
Let's go Grey's!
ABC (households: 9.5/15, #2; adults 18-49: 5.5, #1) was once again the network to beat among adults 18-49 as new episodes of "Ugly Betty" (households: 8.7/14, #6; adults 18-49: 4.1, #5), "Grey's Anatomy" (households: 13.5/20, #1; adults 18-49: 8.6, #1) and a repeat of "Desperate Housewives" (households: 6.4/11, #8; adults 18-49: 3.7, #T9) took home top honors in the key demographic.CBS (households: 10.2/16, #1; adults 18-49: 5.2, #2) then took the silver thanks to new episodes of "Survivor: Cook Islands" (households: 9.1/14, #T4; adults 18-49: 4.9, #4), "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (households: 12.4/19, #2; adults 18-49: 6.8, #2) and "Shark" (households: 9.1/15, #T4; adults 18-49: 3.9, #T6).--THE FUTON CRITIC
yes haha! no messing with Grissom =D
CSI on top again!
OC is the best its been since early-mid season 2am i really the only one who hated mischa?
^^These are Overnight Ratings. The final figures stated that Grey's Anatomy pulled in MORE viewers 20.57 million over CSI's 20.46 million. Grey's Anatomy was also the winner in all the age demographics.
The shows have been running 1 and 2 all years, but this is the November sweeps and who finishes #1 wins the advertising money.
Umm this is the first time CSI beat Greys for the season, so don't get excited.
CSI - the cream always rises to the top...
csi and greys are overrated
CSI is and always will be the best. A seperate category must be created for crime series in award shows.
Nothing beats CSI and nothing ever will!
How can anyone still enjoy Survivor..
The OC improved this episode!
I hope FOX do the move to wendsday so we can breath easily trough this season
They both have good show and NBC has nothing like always.
The king has returned...
YES!!!!!!CSI BEAT GREY'S!!!!!!!*celebrates*
