Overall viewers do matter, but viewers in those demo brackets matter more. UnderCoverGuy, Right or wrong, the advertisers look primarily at the demo numbers.

Surely Grey's will be against CSI again at nine central? Survivor just premiers on Thursday, or up against Betty at eight central? Who cares. New CSI's will edge out Grey's, I believe, consistently. 18-49 to Grey's, more than likely. Scrubs I guess is off NBC, Earl down around 30%, Office and 30 Rock probably pulled down as well. ( Office has weakened quality-wise since year one, and is a poor leadin for 30 Rock. ) So NBC's no-laugh-track comedies will be hard-pressed to beatthe two long-running hits on ABC and NBC in any category, except maybe 18-34.

CSI premieres next week though, I think, so that can't be good. :( Bigger drop off than I expected for Supernatural but those numbers are still better than almost every episode of last season, so hopefully they hold up.

My Name is Earl's numbers though were a less pleasent surprise, I too really enjoyed last nights episodes after the medicore stories of last year. Hopefully people may come back to it over the next couple of weeks.

Fox hasn't been doing as good a job these days. I think 24 is going to be a catastrophe this year. It's a show that appeals to Republicans and they cast Janeane Garofalo as the President?? Dollhouse just looks bad. Those comedies were atrocious. Prison Break is bad. And they took my favorite show this fall and fed it to the ratings wolves. TueTruthHurts –

It will probably sink to 8.5-9 million next week. I'm as surprised as everybody else that the Grey's premiere did better than the finale. I'm guessing it will sink to 15-16 million when CSI starts up again. Nice to see Betty almost getting 10 million… It will probably sink to 8.5-9 million next week.

Amazing how these guys "fail upward". Reilly led NBC to a consistent 4th place finish and he ain't doin' any better over at FOX...where do they recruit these network president's from..the Bush/Cheney White House? Please Mr. Reilly..next season give me another sitcom with Jerry O'Connell...last year it was ABC's Carpoolers and now Fox's Do Not Disturb. As for NBC's Ben Silverman..."Knightrider" bombed this week? Gee I'm shocked..next time you re-make a show..how 'bout "Leave It To Beaver". Since most Americans are broke and have to stay home...overall ratings should be way up....problem is look at the new garbage they gave us. And there's more to come...

Overall, CSI will win in viewers and possibly close the gap a bit more in the demo. Of course, that depends on whether Grey's continues the drop it was seeing last year and how the CSI audience reacts to loosing Warrick and Grissom. Julia,
