It was a mixed bag for shows on Thursday night as some were up and some were down. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory started off down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its series high two weeks ago. It's still in its own league right now. At 8:30pm, Two and a Half Men was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Not a bad drop when a co-star is urging fans not to watch the show. At 9pm, Person of Interest was down two tenths in viewers and the demo while Elementary closed out the night down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. 

ABC started off with the cancelled Last Resort which was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Grey's Anatomy was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Scandal was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high. Once again, it went up when Grey's went down in the demo (and sometimes the reverse happens). It also managed to tie Elementary in the demo for the first time and skewed much younger. On FOX, The X Factor was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week when it followed FOX's Thanksgiving game. However, Glee was up a big eight tenths in viewers and seven tenths in the demo from its Thanksgiving night broadcast.

NBC had a terrible night with everything below a 2 demo. At 8pm, 30 Rock was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but that was the only show to go up. At 8:30pm, Up All Night was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The Office was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for series lows as this show is limping along during its final season. At 9:30pm, Parks and Recreation was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. With 30 Rock and The Office ending and Community and Up All Night on real shaky ground, what will become of this show? It seems the most likely of any to get another season but not with numbers like this. It's not doing itself any favors. At 10pm, Rock Center with Brian Williams was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo.
