For some reason I'm alway curious to see how the shows I watch fare against the rest. But a lot of times it's hard to find out the ratings. Anyway, it would be cool for people to post the ratings (i'll do it too) for the week or overnight ratings. I'll start! -Ratings Breakdown:
Despite the lackluster debut of reality hour Wickedly Perfect (#2: 6.8/10; Viewers: #2, 9.76 million; A18-49: #3, 3.0/ 8 at 8 p.m.), the strength of CSI and Without A Trace kept CBS in the Thursday winner's circle, with an advantage over second-place NBC of 74 percent in the overnights, 10.36 million viewers and 45 percent among adults 18-49. As a reminder, total viewers at adults 18-49 are based on the fast affiliate ratings.
Although CSI (19.5/28; Viewers: 28.66 million; A18-49: 9.6/24 at 9 p.m.) was, of course, the highest rated and most watched show of the evening, without NBC's ER in the competitive mix (which was pre-empted for a repeat of Medium) Without A Trace hit a series-high 16.6/26 in the overnights, 23.75 million viewers and a 7.7/21 among adults 18-49.
While NBC's Joey (#1: 9.6/14; Viewers: #1, 12.48 million; A18-49: #1, 5.1/14 at 8 p.m.) opened the evening on a winning note, a 17.9/26 in the overnights for Friends on the year-ago evening with well over 20 million viewers means Joey is more like AfterMASH than Frasier. Leading out of Joey was a Thursday edition of new sitcom Committed, which also won the 8:30 p.m. half-hour in the overnights (8.5/12), total viewers (11.60 million) and adults 18-49 (5.0/13) with almost full retention out of Joey. Considering CBS' Survivor was not present last night, results for Joey in particular were nothing spectacular.
Sticking with NBC, fading Will & Grace remains just that with two episodes (original and repeat avg. 7.7/11; Viewers: 9.74 million; A18-49: 4.7/12) ranking a distant second in all three categories from 9-10 p.m. At 10 p.m., a repeat of the Medium pilot (#2, 8.0/12; Viewers: #2, 9.30 million; A18-49: #2, 4.2/11) received more well-deserved sampling.
In the battle of the youth-oriented 8-9 p.m. serials, Fox's The O.C. (#3, 5.8/ 9; Viewers: #3, 7.73 million; A18-49: #2, 3.4/ 9) bested ABC's life as we know it (#5: 3.2/ 4; Viewers: #5, 4.27 million; A18-49: #5, 1.5/ 4) by a considerable 81 percent in the overnights, 3.46 million viewers and 127 percent among adults 18-49. Note: This was the Thursday 8 p.m. time period debut for life as we know it.
Airing from 8-10 p.m. were UPN's WWE Smackdown! (#5: 3.9/ 6; A18-49: 2.0/ 5) and movie Summer Catch (#6: 2.2/ 3; A18-49: #6, 1.2/ 3), which was barely visible on the WB.
At 9 p.m., although the time period debut of ABC's Extreme Makeover (#3: 4.3/ 6; A18-49: #4, 1.9/ 5) was nothing extraordinary, it still managed to outdeliver Fox's competing (and soon-to-be departing) North Shore (#5: 3.0/ 4; A18-49: #5, 1.7/ 4) by 43 percent in the overnights and 12 percent among adults 18-49.
At 10 p.m., and opposite Without A Trace and Medium, was ABC's Primetime Live at an above average (but still third place) 6.5/11 in the overnights, 8.64 million viewers and a 2.8/ 8 among adults 18-49.
