Even with lighter competition due to CBS airing re-runs, ABC’s flagship drama “Grey’s Anatomy” suffered a minor decline in the ratings this week.<\/p>\n
Thursday’s episode posted a 4.0 adults 18-49 rating with 10.94 million viewers, representing a drop of about 7% from the last original’s demo number. The performance was nonetheless enough to give “Grey’s” the nightly win for total and young adult viewers.<\/p>\n
ABC aired “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” at 8PM (2.3 rating, 7.34 million viewers) and “Private Practice” at 10PM (2.9 rating, 8.01 million).<\/p>\n
NBC’s night had its share of disappointments. While no one expected “Community” to match the total viewership figure, the critically-acclaimed NBC comedy could not even touch a re-run of “The Big Bang Theory” in the demo. Effectively failing to attract a single adults 18-49 viewer that usually watches “Big Bang,” “Community” garnered a 1.9 rating with 4.60 million viewers. The “Big Bang” encore scored a 2.4 with 8.91 million.<\/p>\n
“30 Rock” was far from stellar, although it at least did not share “Community”‘s distinction of losing to a CBS repeat. “Rock” scored a 2.3 with 5.02 million, eclipsing the 1.9 for a “$#*! My Dad Says” repeat. The latter, though, won in total viewers with 7.44 million.<\/p>\n
Flagship series “The Office” was relatively stable with a 3.7 and 7.31 million viewers. “Outsourced” checked in at a 2.5 with 5.37 million. “The Apprentice” closed the evening with a 1.4 and 4.11 million.<\/p>\n
The CW’s numbers will be subject to change due to the Houston affiliate airing the Eagles-Texans game. On FOX, “Bones” scored a 2.4 with 8.87 million viewers, while “Fringe” was good for a soft 1.8 with 5.13 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
