Monthly Archives: September 2010

(for Wednesday, September 29, 2010) Virtually everyone was down last night, except for The CW and ‘Hell’s Kitchen.’ ABC’s returning comedies are still above their spring averages, while NBC’s ‘Law & Order: Los Angeles’ debuted very well.

CBS (3.2/9, 12.317 million) was well above the competition, thanks to ‘Survivor,’ ‘Criminal Minds’ and ‘The Defenders,’ despite declines in all of them. ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ gave FOX (2.9/9, 6.308 million) second in the advertiser valued Adults 18-49 demo, though it came in behind both NBC (2.5/7, 8.95 million) and ABC (2.4/7, 8.331 million) in total viewers.

ABC (3.0.8, 12.267 million) with ‘Family’ and ‘Dancing With the Stars’  was next, leaving NBC (2.5/7, 6.372 million) and a deflated ‘Biggest Loser’ to wallow in fourth place. The CW (0.9/2, 1.698 million) just missed a 1.0 in the demo.
