On Thursday night, FOX started things off with American Idol which was down six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's two hour episode. This isn't a bad week two drop for the show especially since it lost the higher rated hour. At 9pm, Glee benefited a bit from the lead-in as it was up 1.5 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. Still, it was a far cry from the numbers it used to get after American Idol as its ceiling is awfully low now. Over on ABC, the series finale of the cancelled Last Resort was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. 

NBC had yet another low Thursday night. At 8pm, 30 Rock was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo ahead of next week's series finale. It will be interesting to see how much it can gain for the final night. At 8:30pm, Parks and Recreation was even in viewers and down two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, The Office was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Only The Office and The Biggest Loser cracked a 2.0 demo for NBC this week, yikes. At 9:30pm, 1600 Penn was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, reversing the downward trend a bit. At 10pm, Rock Center was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo.
