The broadcast networks continued to have a tough week as most shows were down again. ABC started things off with another repeat of Grey's Anatomy (for the last week) which hit a low for the 8:00 repeat numbers. A new Grey's Anatomy followed and was down nearly a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This is not the force it once was and is done significantly even from last fall. Private Practice followed and was down heavily from last week's special episode - 2 million viewers and a full demo point. This is much closer to its usual performance as last week was an aberration.
CBS also had drops across the board. The Big Bang Theory was down almost a million viewers and half a demo point but was still a powerful player. New sitcom $#*! My Dad Says had a troubling drop as it was down over a million viewers and half a demo point from last week, hitting a series low in viewers and tying a series low in the demo. After some encouraging weeks, this sitcom seems headed in the wrong direction again. CSI followed and was down a million viewers and half a demo point while The Mentalist had the best hold as it was down .6 in the demo and two tenths in the demo. What is happening to broadcast TV this week?
NBC did not fair quite as badly though there were still mostly drops across the board. Community was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. It still is a weak lead-off for the night. 30 Rock was down two tenths in viewers but even in the demo while The Office was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Finally new sitcom Outsourced was down two tenths in viewers and just a tenth in the demo. It loses a ton of The Office's audience but it seems to have steadied. Finally, The Apprentice was even in both viewers and the demo as the finale nears. This was a low lineup as usual but did not see the bleeding that NBC saw on Monday and Wednesday this week.
Finally FOX saw pretty steady results. Bones was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo while Fringe was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a season low. FOX has a lot of holes in its schedule but will they really keep airing Fringe here? It has bled a big lead-in for a long time now and it seems likely that this will be its final season.
