With CBS and ABC mostly in repeats on Thursday night, NBC and FOX took advantage. First on NBC, Community was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, Parks and Recreation was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Office was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series low. At 9:30pm, the season finale of Go On was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Go On premiered after a night at the Olympics last August to 16 million viewers and ended with less than 3 million viewers. Despite the pitiful viewership number and 1.1 demo, I still think this has a decent chance to get renewed by comedy deprived NBC. The best news for NBC came at 10pm where Hannibal became only the second new show to build on its premiere this season. It was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Of course it was against repeats and a 1.7 demo is nothing to brag about, but on NBC, that's a big win.

On FOX, American Idol was up 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo to its best Thursday numbers in over a month. At 9pm, a controversial and buzzy episode of Glee was up eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. This show has not officially been renewed by FOX like most others that are coming back but it's not a bad sign. It will definitely be back in the fall especially because it seems to be on a constant downward trend save for a few rises here and there like last night. Finally on ABC, Wife Swap was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo.
