On Thursday night, the broadcast networks had a down night for the most part. On ABC, Last Resort started off down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. Scandal was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series high but it held up well and this was its second highest rating ever. 

CBS had a pretty good night as three of their four shows were up in the demo. The Big Bang Theory was down a tenth in viewers but up two tenths in the demo. It's a full demo point ahead of any other show on broadcast TV at this point. At 8:30pm, Two and a Half Men was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Person of Interest was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Though it was the only CBS show to not rise, it did manage to tie Grey's Anatomy for first in the demo. At 10pm, Elementary was up two tenths in viewers and the demo, narrowing the gap with Scandal from last week. 

NBC had a horribly low night where its best demo was 1.2. A double airing of Up All Night were both down from last week's episode. Will this show get any boost when it switches to multi-camera? At 9pm, night four of Take it All was slightly up from Wednesday's episode but still way down from Monday and Tuesday. Looks like this completely depends on its lead-in. At 10pm, Rock Center with Brian Williams was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, The X Factor was down a tenth in viewers and the demo despite revealing the finalists. At 9pm, Glee was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo.
