Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
Looks like somebody just wasn’t in the mood to share this week. Although Thursdays are typically known for win-win situations (CBS wins the viewers; ABC wins the demos), that was not the case last night. This time around the Eye network surprisingly took both categories.
8pm
- Survivor: Samoa (12.3 million, 3.8/11 in 18-49) was off by 900,000.
- Bones (9.8 million, 2.7/8) remained steady.
- FlashForward (8 million, 2.4/7) lost another 300,000.
- Community (5.1 million, 2.0/6) tied Parks and Recreation (4.6 million, 2.0/6) in the demos.
- The Vampire Diaries (3.7 million, 1.6/5) fell by 600,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
There’s nothing like a good sweeps stunt to get viewers tuned in. What happened to Kate Walsh in that sliding car? Over 10 million watched Private Practice to find out. How did CSI end its crossover event? Nearly 17 million now know.
8pm
- Survivor: Samoa (13.2 million, 4.0/11 in 18-49) was up by 500,000.
- Bones (9.8 million, 2.9/8) added on 1.3 million.
- FlashForward (8.3 million, 2.6/7) lost 200,000.
- Community (5.4 million, 2.1/6) and Parks and Recreation (4.7 million, 2.1/6) tied in the demos.
- The Vampire Diaries (4.3 million, 2.0/5) did about the same.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
Just because FOX benefitted from the World Series doesn’t mean its programs did. Last night’s return of Fringe hit a series low in the demos. Meanwhile, the other networks resumed their old ways. ABC placed first yesterday with the 18-49s while CBS was on top with the viewers.
8pm
- Survivor: Samoa (12.7 million, 3.7/10 in 18-49) was up slightly.
- FlashForward (8.5 million, 2.6/7) was off by 500,000.
- Approximately 8.5 million welcomed back Bones (2.5/7).
- Community (5.6 million, 2.3/6) picked up 100,000; Parks and Recreation (4.9 million, 2.2/6) slid by 100,000.
- The Vampire Diaries (4.2 million, 2.0/5) did about the same.

Thanks to the World Series, FlashForward lost its forward progress last night. The ABC drama fell to a demo low when pitted against sports action.
8pm
- Game 2 of the World Series (17.1 million, 5.3/14 in 18-49) was down 2.4 million from the first outing.
- Survivor: Samoa (12.5 million, 3.7/10) lost 400,000.

Thursday Ratings: Survivor Scare Draws Viewers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
It might not have been the way Russell Swan wanted to leave, but he definitely got our attention. Last night’s scary episode of Survivor picked up its best numbers of the season. Unfortunately, CBS’ other repeats gave ABC wins in both the viewers and the demos yesterday.
8pm
- Survivor: Samoa (12.9 million, 4.0/11 in 18-49) added on 1 million.
- Game 5 of the ALCS (3.3/9) scored 10.3 million.
- FlashForward (9.8 million, 3.0/9) picked up 700,000.
- Community (5.2 million, 1.9/6) did about the same; Parks and Recreation (5 million, 2.1/6) improved by 300,000.
- The Vampire Diaries* (2.3 million, 0.9/3) lost 1.6 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
30 Rock has no problems attracting guest stars and earning Emmys—so why does it continue to struggle in the ratings? Last night’s Season 4 premiere found itself down 27% in the demo from this same time last year. It also lost over 20% of The Office‘s viewers.
8pm
- Survivor: Samoa (3.5/10 in 18-49) tested 11.9 million.
