On Thursday night, ABC had their new trio of dramas but it looks like one of them won't be around for long as Zero Hour fell a million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its already low premiere last week. The latest Thursday 8pm bomb for ABC may not even last as long as Last Resort did. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was up two tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Scandal was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Over on FOX, a two hour American Idol was up nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's one hour episode.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. This show is so far ahead every other show on TV in the demo. At 8:30pm, Two and a Half Men was also down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Person of Interest was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it went back to losing to Grey's Anatomy in the demo. At 10pm, Elementary was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It has been quietly inching back up in the demo and closing the gap a little bit with Scandal. 
 
NBC was a mess as Community was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to a terrible 1.1. Two episodes of Parks and Recreation including the hyped wedding episode disappointed as they were down a tenth in the demo from last week. Yet a 1.4 demo is the highest rating any NBC sitcom has gotten this week. At 9:30pm, 1600 Penn was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing to a new series low. And they are really thinking about adding the promising Hannibal to this night?
