On Thursday night, FOX was the only network that was fully new but the results were not all that positive. American Idol was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, losing to a REPEAT of The Big Bang Theory on CBS. At 9pm, the just renewed Glee was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Where will it be in two years after the big renewal? Over on NBC, Community started off the night up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance since March 7. An hour of Parks and Recreation aired at 9pm and both episodes were up from last week's 8:30pm episode. Frankly a 1.7 demo is a big hit for an NBC sitcom. At 10pm, week three of Hannibal was down nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo despite a better lead-in. Airing against repeats, this was a disappointing week three showing after last week's surprising gain. Finally on ABC, Wife Swap was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.
