Wait, was it Valentine's Day again last night? Wasn't that what caused the low numbers last week?
LOL
That is right I forgot about that one. What holiday was yesterday?

10 o'clock hour will have Lost dropping to 10-12 million.
I don't think Lost's numbers at 13 million is anything to celebrate. It is not good when you look at repeat CSI almost getting 12 million.
1. Name 5 other shows that pull the numbers Greys does. 2. Lost grew out of its lead in by 8.5 million and I believe year to year was up.
Thats good news for Supernatural as it proved that it doesn't need Smallville as a lead in to reach 3 million viewers. I thought the numbers would be in the mid 2 millions. For those worried that the CW would cancel Supernetural don't. They have way to many other problems to fix, one being to get new management.

As for ES, keep in mind that it always looses around 400,000 and .2 in the demo with the final numbers.
I'm not the one that claimed the V-day excuse last week -- in fact, I found that excuse weak as well. But it has stabilized, the numbers prove that.
And as far as ES, I'm comparing its fast nationals, so it's apples to apples comparison.
CSI/WAT crossover still has power for CBS. They should consider doing about 22 of those crossovers next year.
Lipstick Jungle was weak, but its 2.5 is even to last week (when Apprentice was stronger) and considerably stronger than clone Cashmere's third-hour 2.2, and Cashmere had the big lead-in premiere. At 2.5 it will not be getting yanked before it plays out a few more.
The best case scenario for Eli Stone is probably that it gets to play out its 13. Nearly complete week-to-week hold improves that possibility, but anything beyond the 13 is impossible unless it starts moving upward.
Expected a bit more of a boost to Lyrics, but still a fine performance there. Kudos to Supernatural.
Survivor: Micronesia (Viewers: #2, 12.55 million; A18-49: #2, 4.0/10) If you are not watching this Micronesia edition, you are missing a truly addictive edition of the veteran franchise.
I must agree with you on this. Survivor is hitting on all cylinders. A nice mix of Favorites and Fans with the air time. I really like the contrasts of how each group is handling living on the islands.

Thanks mushu. Plus, I was taking into account Grey's somewhat softer ratings compared to its giant ratings last season: that's why I said 18 million and not 22-24 million. Still 18 million and a 7.0 demo lead-in is nothing to sneaze at, and it's gonna more than make up a 1 hour slide back on the same night.
Ouch, it seems Lost's numbers last week weren't down beacause of the Valintine's Day but beacause some didn't like what they saw. Still respectable numbers for Lost but let's be honest for such a hyped show those are not great numbers. And it may go down further
Bye bye Eli Stone
The only impressive numbers yesterday were those for CSI's and WAT's repeats and for SN of course. That's just shows in how much trouble CBS really is.
Lilith the child demoness. Twist indeed. I love it.
So, of course the CW is going to build on these ratings and momentum by yanking Supernatural reruns from the timeslot to show Reaper, which will die against Lost. Could it be anymore obvious that Supernatural is NOT leadin dependent on Smallville?

House, Desperate Housewives, CSI, WAT, NCIS, Criminal Minds, AI, DTWS, DOND even sometimes. Terminator bested it one week. If someone pulls up the numbers for Grey's last original program it never even hit 18. Much less get 18+.
Assuming all the viewers of GA return what is a 16-17 million lead in going to do for Lost at the 10 o'clock hour against new CBS Without a Trace episodes?
Nothing. It will be worse than 9 o'clock with no competiton against it.
