If ABC was hoping to make some improvements to its Thursday night ratings, the network might have to try again. In the Motherhood and Samantha Who? tied Ugly Betty‘s previous demos while averaging a smaller audience. Meanwhile, a rare Thursday appearance of American Idol gave FOX a win in both categories.
8pm
- American Idol (7.4/21 in 18-49) rang up 22.4 million.
- NCAA basketball (10.1 million, 3.5/9) rallied 700,000 more.
- The premiere of In the Motherhood (6.7 million, 2.1/6) tied Samantha Who? (6.5 million, 2.1/6) in the demos.
- My Name is Earl (5.9 million, 2.0/6) fell by 500,000; an early episode of The Office* (4.8 million, 2.1/5) was up 200,000.
- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.5/4) added on 400,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, The Office, Ratings,
College sports coverage proved to be both a winner and loser for CBS last night. Although the NCAA tournament didn’t earn the network another double win last night, the court action did score a tie in the demos with ABC. (The Alphabet was the sole winner with the viewers.)

Thursday Ratings: ER Still Fourth Despite Clooney
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
George Clooney might be able to schedule meetings with high-ranking politicians, but he can’t save a whole network. Even though ER saw its best audience in two years, NBC only tied for third in the demos and placed fourth with the viewers last night. (The winner in both categories was CBS.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (12.9 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49) rounded up 900,000 more.
- Bones (2.8/8) returned to 9.6 million.
- Ugly Betty (7.2 million, 2.1/6) rose by 800,000.
- My Name is Earl* (4.4 million, 1.7/5) and the finale of Kath & Kim (4 million, 1.7/5) tied in the demos.
- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.6/5) added on 1.5 million.

Taylor Swift isn’t just a big concert draw, the country music sensation is a ratings hit as well. Swift’s stint on CSI helped give the CBS program a nice boost on Thursday night. Unfortunately, that other musical hit (a.k.a. American Idol) was also around to do its thing.
8pm
- American Idol (21.2 million, 7.5/20 in 18-49) picked up 500,000.
- Survivor: Tocantins (12 million, 3.8/10) slipped by 300,000.
