| Total Viewers (million) | 13.54 | 11.41 | 8.39 | 8.01 | 2.19 |
| Rating/Share: Adults 18-49 | 3.5/9 | 4.2/11 | 2.6/7 | 3.3/9 | 0.8/2 |
CBS took the most viewers and ABC took the 18-49 demographic on the last night where an original Grey’s Anatomy faces off with an original episode of CSI (it was the last first-run episode for each show). As is typical, CSI narrowly won the timeslot in terms of overall viewers with Grey’s Anatomy winning the 18-49 demographic decisively. In the 8pm hour, FOX was strong with Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, which beat out ABC’s Ugly Betty in total viewers, with Ugly Betty winning the hour in the 18-49 demo. NBC’s My Name is Earl was strong in the demo, but 30 Rock lost about 1.7 million viewers from Earl’s lead-in. At this point, Gorman and I may be the only ones still watching 30 Rock.
CBS easily dominated the 10pm hour with Without a Trace decisively winning the most viewers, and tying for the 18-49 demo lead with ER. Full night’s results:
| Time | Network | Show | Viewers (Millons) | 18-49 Rating/Share |

Since I still have it fresh on the DVR, by the Nielsen definition, not even I was a Live+SD viewer of last night's 30 Rock

What is striking is how the mighty have fallen. CSI used to average over 30 million viewers a couple or three years back (when it was still a great show). Similarly, Without a Trace topped off above 20 million viewers until the addition of Roselyn Sanchez to the cast tanked the show.
The networks desperately need to re-program Saturdays and program fewer reality shows if they're interested at all in finding he next big hits.
It's amazing to me how they take so few at bats (beside the fact they're almost unerring in backing bad shows that are DOA with the public).

Tony, it's not just critics who enjoy 30 Rock. I'm not a critic, nor involved in TV, but my wife and I think it's the funniest show on TV right now, even pre-strike (it should be noted that this is due to The Office's weakness earlier this season).
It's just a funny show, and very dense, joke-wise. It almost requires DVR veiwing so you can go back and catch jokes you missed due to hyperventilating laughter.
Of course, that's just my opinion.

Big Shots on the board – great to see! We need to make more people aware of the show especially since it is only short lived by my sources (last episode to aire 1-24).
We can not LOSE Big Shots!

For what it's worth, I tried to watch 30 Rock a couple of times based on recommendations by friends and I found it relatively boring and not all that funny. Alec Baldwyn made the show in the scenes he was in, but Tina Fey really didn't.
I may have caught 2 bad episodes (season premiere and the Seinfeld ep) but I'm not surprised how poorly it's doing.
