On Wednesday night, NBC saw a big night from Law & Order: SVU as the veteran crime drama rose 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. This show can still show some strength when a big episode rolls around. It didn't help Chicago PD though as that show was only up seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This is the most disappointing performance for PD yet since its lead-in was up so much. On CBS, Survivor was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. With SVU soaring, Criminal Minds fell  six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, CSI was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. ABC saw Mixology surrounded by repeats and it fell six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo to tie the series low it set the last time this happened. FOX is still seeing massive year to year erosion from American Idol. It was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo for a new Wednesday low. It was beaten by Survivor, Criminal Minds, and Law & Order: SVU in the demo.
