I am – Hercules!! No more premieres! Thursday 18-49 scores (previous weeks in parentheses): 6.0 (6.6) (1.8) Grey’s Anatomy 4.5 (----) (----) Private Practice 4.0 (4.0) (2.0) CSI 3.7 (3.4) (1.9) The Mentalist 3.7 (3.7) (3.6) Survivor 3.7 (4.1) (----) FlashForward 3.7 (3.8) (4.1) The Office 2.9 (2.8) (3.8) Community 2.6 (2.7) (3.2) Bones 2.3 (2.2) (3.1) Fringe 1.9 (1.8) (2.1) Parks and Recreation 1.8 (1.8) (2.0) SNL Thursday 1.6 (1.7) (2.7) The Jay Leno Show 1.6 (1.7) (1.6) The Vampire Diaries 1.2 (1.2) (1.2) Supernatural Figures in grey are for repeats. * While “Fringe” finally stopped a precipitous slide (it was the only 9 p.m. show that gained this week), “Mentalist” suffered a surprisingly decisive loss in its first bout with “Private Practice.” “Mentalist” and “Fringe” were last season’s top new shows, but they are struggling since their moves to super-competitive Thursday. * No show in memory has beaten a new Thursday “Survivor” two weeks in a row, and ABC’s terrible “FlashForward” didn’t either; it fell 8% to tie the CBS reality show in 18-49 for first place. (“Survivor” won in total viewers.) * “Parks and Recreation” was the only series to show an increase in last night’s first primetime hour. * Even though it didn’t have to take on “Grey’s” this week, “Leno” hit its lowest Thursday number yet. For the second Thursday in a row it came perilously close to falling behind The CW’s “Vampire Diaries” among 18-49 viewers. Find all of James Hibberd’s analysis of Thursday night here.
