A new episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy returned in midseason form Thursday, feasting on a competing repeat of CBS' CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and firstrun episodes of NBC's Scrubs and 30 Rock.
But then it got ugly for ABC in D-FW. Check out these audience windfalls and shortfalls:
8 to 9 p.m.
Grey's Anatomy -- 428,400 homes
CSI -- 157,080
Scrubs and 30 Rock -- 97,580
9 to 10 p.m.
ABC's new episode of Men In Trees -- 176,120 homes
CBS' rerun of Shark -- 183,260
NBC's new episode of ER -- 247,520
That's a recipe for another NBC5 local news win at 10 p.m. in both homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds, the principal advertiser target for news programming. The station should send ER a gold-plated stethoscope for its continued medical miracles. In its 13th season, ER is still more than doubling the ratings of its lead-in comedies. Meanwhile, Men In Trees is Dutch Elm Disease for Belo8.
In other news slots, NBC5 won in homes at 6 a.m., but Belo8 took the 25-to-54 crown in a tight three-way battle with NBC5 and Fox4.
Belo8 won in both ratings measurements at 6 p.m. NBC5 finished first in homes at 5 p.m. and tied Belo8 for the top spot among 25-to-54-year-olds.
