Figures in grey represent repeats.
* “Survivor’s” antepenultimate double-elimination episode pushed the veteran reality series to a season high, tying “The Office” for night’s the top slot in 18-49.
* “Mentalist” also hit a series high in total viewers against “Leno” and a “Private Practice” repeat.
* With "Grey's" a repeat, "CSI" hit its best number in months.
* “Office’s” uptick bled to the decade’s final “30 Rock,” which hit its best number in seven weeks.
* 2009’s final “Fringe,” featuring another guest appearance by Leonard Nimoy, slipped against the return of “CSI” but still managed an above-average 18-49 for the season.
* With “FlashForward” and “Vampire Diaries” in repeats, “Bones” matched its season high in 18-49.
* All the puzzling controversy turned out to be a ratings godsend for MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” which shot up 50% to 2.1 million total viewers for its second week. (I confess the Italian-American protests inspired me to begin DVRing it.)
* Comedy Central’s “The Jeff Dunham Show” hit another new series low.
* “The League” garnered fewer total viewers than “Dunham” and “American Chopper” but still managed to earn a second season from FX earlier in the week.
