It looks like Eleventh Hour only retained about 50% of its lead-in, which Life on Mars was around 80%. Plus, the half hours may be very telling when comparing them.

Mark Berman labeled 11th Hour a loser...but I don't know what show could compete with that lead-in. It reached about the same share and demo as Life On Mars which he picked as a winner--I guess because it's on ABC. BTW, I was torn between watching 11th Hour and LOM. I watched 11th Hr. and will catch LOM on stream, even it means dealing with ABC.com's crappy viewer. That was a gigantic number for CSI…I can’t see it keeping that number throughout its season.

ABC is not having a good season are they? But at least they aren't in NBC's position. CSI looks like it spanked Grey’s Anatomy big time! ABC is not having a good season are they?

CSI won - On my please take them off the air list--(along with) CIRCUS/DANCING WITH THE STARS (but most of them aren't dancing)...I also want GREYS off in 3 years...LAST NIGHT'S CSI WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF EPISODES - It was powerful!!! I enjoy Smallville - but its stories are either wearing on me or their just not as good - so I hope this year or next year is its last... Yes!

Seems like a lot of Grey's viewers stuck around though. I think it may have run in by a minute, but I am not positive! Seems like a lot of Grey’s viewers stuck around though.

We'll see what next week brings, of course. Since it's ABC, I have to ask, did Grey's run into the 10 o'clock hour by two mins? That’s a pretty good premiere number for Life on Mars if it holds.
