Yes, huge ouch... It was the 3rd highest show last night. And was 68% higher than Without a Trace in the demo.
It's hard to tell if thats sarcasm..
I think Grey's ran over again, so it might even be below 11 mil. The finale is almost here though, so I think the numbers will keep going up in the following weeks.
I actually liked last nights episode, even if it was a bit slow.

Grey's Anatomy is definitely hurting. I thought it would do better last night with Kate Walsh returning, but I think it went down even from last week.
As for CSI, I have watched it for years. Last night's numbers weren't that off from pre-strike(18-19 million). Before Jorja Fox left the show episodes averaged more than 20 million viewers(more like 21 million for Nov sweeps). So I do think her leaving has affected the ratings.
I am disappointed with The Office ratings. It deserves better.
Ugh! I cannot even comment enough on ABC's results. They're horrific
GA needs some buzz over the summer. 15 million it's catastrophic. UB at 7.9 million it's a hge blow, i doubt it will survive more than another season Lost, well the standards are pretty low these days but 11 million for a show that a couple of years ago was pulling close to 20 is nout encouraging at all ABC is in trouble

Nobody cares about FOX leaving. It's down like all the other CBS's crime dramas
Last night was a very strong episode of GA too, and am suprised it dropped so much over last week especially with Addison returning, but I think too many people got fed up with the lack of quality and good storylines this season and won't return. I still like Betty but clearly it can only run 3, 4 seasons tops and the novelty has obviously worn off for most people. I also miss having Wilhemina and Mark in the office and this little side story with them and Christina as well as Willie's crazy sister isn't working for me. And it has left Amanda with nothing to do but be this over the top charicature.

I hope that's the last we see of Addison on Grey's. I decided to watch that episode later on my DVR and watched Office and 30 Rock live instead.
I'm not surprised Ugly Betty and My Name Is Earl are hurting. I stopped watching them last year when they ceased being good.
ABC and CBS need to give a strong push for CSI and Grey's respectively when the two shows launch next season. They need to get those two shows at least back into the 20 million range.

Maybe UGLY BETTY is just played out...that its gimmick of knowing AF is really beautiful under the makeup...I don't know. The same fate may await PUSHING DAISIES when it returns this fall-same with NBC's NIGHTRIDER-yeah people tuned in out of curiosity but it probably will not a weekly series make...

To what? Dancing with the Stars gets more viewers, but lower demos. Desperate Housewives has no reason to move, and it's getting similar numbers anyway. Nothing else comes close to what even this weakened GA is doing.
