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
FOX’s ride to the top ended quickly. When originals returned to ABC and CBS, so did the numbers. Last night, the Alphabet network - with no help from The Deep End - narrowly took first in the demos. Meanwhile, CBS was easily the winner with the viewers.
8pm
- Bones (12.3 million, 3.3/10 in 18-49) did about the same.
- CBS’ Survivor Survivor special (2.4/7) had 8.3 million looking back.
- Community (2.2/7) entertained 5.2 million.
- The Deep End (5.1 million, 1.3/4) plunged by 900,000.
- Parks and Recreation (4.9 million, 2.3/6) hit a season high rating.
- The Vampire Diaries (4 million, 1.8/5) sucked in 200,000 more.

Thursday Ratings: Live for the Moment DOA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Ratings
Jeff Probst had to learn a very hard lesson last night: Fans simply don’t like to watch him in shows that aren’t titled Survivor. Last night’s Live for the Moment special got beat by everything in the demos…even repeats. Meanwhile, FOX - just about the only network to air originals - easily won in the viewers and the 18-49s.
8pm
- Bones (12.4, 3.6/11 in 18-49) had the night’s best numbers.
- The Deep End (6 million, 1.7/5) lost 1 million.
- Live for the Moment (1.1/3) scraped up 4.7 million.
- Community* (4.2 million, 1.6/5) turned in 4.2 million.
- Parks and Recreation* (1.6/4) entertained 3.7 million.
- The Vampire Diaries (3.8 million, 1.8/5) was steady.

Thursday Ratings: Bones Bests CSI, Deep End Sinks
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Ratings
Last night’s programming ended with interesting results. Despite non-stop promotions, ABC’s freshman series The Deep End struggled to find an audience with the 18-49s during its hour. Meanwhile, CBS had some good and bad news. On the plus side, repeats of The Big Bang Theory did better than original comedies on NBC. On the negative side, Bones actually beat CSI in the demos.
8pm
- Bones (11.9 million, 3.5/10 in 18-49) had its biggest audience in three years.
- The first episode of The Big Bang Theory (2.1/6) pulled in 6.9 million; a second half hour (2.4/7) rose to 7.5 million
- The Deep End (1.8/5) had 7 million testing out the waters.
- Community (4.7 million, 2.1/6) gave up 700,000.
- Parks and Recreation (4.3 million, 2.0/5) was down 300,000.
- The Vampire Diaries (1.6/4) returned to 3.7 million.

Christmas will be coming a little bit early for fans of Bones.

Although the two are sisters in real life, the (500) Days of Summer actress will appear as Bones’ cousin Margaret from Minnesota.
