The debut of CBS’s Viva Laughlin (and the temporary departure of Without A Trace) should have made it an easy night for ABC. But despite low numbers at 10pm, CBS still came very close to taking the night in both viewers and demos.
8pm
- With 13.4 million viewers, the aging Survivor (4.3/13 in 18-49 age group) shows no signs of slowing down.
- FOX’s Red Sox/Indians game (3.3/8) averaged about 11.6 million fans through the evening.
- Ugly Betty (9.7 million, 3.1/9) dropped about 730,000 viewers this week.
- NBC’s My Name is Earl (7.3 million, 2.7/8) and 30 Rock (6.3 million, 2.6/7) were both down from last week.
- Smallville (5.1 million, 2.0/6) saw a 300,000 increase.
9pm
- CSI (20.8 million, 6.4/15 in 18-49) gained over 1 million new viewers to claim the night’s biggest audience.
- Grey’s Anatomy (17.7 million, 7.1/17) took another 9pm win in the demos category.
- An hour-long episode The Office (8.5 million, 4.4/11) lost about 400,000.
- Supernatural (1.3/3) rounded off the hour with 3 million viewers.
10pm
- Tthe debut of Viva Laughlin (8.8 million, 2.4/7 in 18-49) was only able to retain less than 1/2 of it’s large lead-in.
- ER (10 million, 4.0/11) benefitted from the absence of Without a Trace.

9pm
- Grey’s Anatomy (18.9 million, 7.8/19 in 18-49) led the night in the demo market.
