CSI: Crime Scene Investigation continued to prosper in its first episode without William Petersen's Gil Grissom.
The king of CBS' crime "procedurals," with Laurence Fishburne now in play, drew 411,866 D-FW viewers in the 8 p.m. hour to easily beat ABC's competing Grey's Anatomy (312,221 viewers). CSI also whipped Grey's, but by a lesser margin, in the fight for advertiser-coveted 18-to-49-year-olds.
CBS kept rolling at 9 p.m., where its first-year Eleventh Hour was Thursday's most-watched program with 418,509 viewers. ABC's Private Practice dipped to 219,219 viewers.
Fox's Bones won at 7 p.m. in both measurements before a second 8 p.m. helping dropped to third place in total viewers and fourth among 18-to-49-year-olds. A new episode of NBC's once super-potent ER ran fourth across the board at 9 p.m.
WFAA8's The Gordon Keith Show drew 39,858 viewers at 12:35 a.m. with its 100th and final episode. That was good enough to beat NBC's competing Carson Daly late-nighter. Gordo also beat Daly in the key 18-to-49 demographic, where his show improved on its lead-in from the last 15 minutes of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In the local news derby, CBS11 capitalized on its strong lead-in from Eleventh Hour to handily beat runnerup WFAA8 in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds, the favored advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 swept the 6 a.m. competitions and did likewise at 5 p.m. WFAA8 had twin wins at 6 p.m.
