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.

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

- FlashForward (8.5 million, 2.6/7) was off by 500,000.
- Approximately 8.5 million welcomed back Bones (2.5/7).

- The Vampire Diaries (4.2 million, 2.0/5) did about the same.

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.

It’s time to forget everything you remembered about last year’s fall schedule and start anew. CW will get the new season kicked off in just two weeks and there a lot of programming changes in store.
Used to watching your Law & Order: SVU @ 10:00? Too bad. Jay Leno’s got that time slot locked up for quite some time. Are your Tuesday nights devoted to Dancing with the Stars? Well, FOX is hoping you’ll check out the competition on So You Think You Can Dance. Like catching up with Medium on NBC Mondays? Start looking for Patricia Arquette on CBS Fridays.
Hopefully our detailed guide can assist you in the weeks to come. We have compiled information from the five major networks and included the days, times and premiere dates for this season’s programs.
