TV ratings: World Series puts FOX on top Thursday

I'm not sure if the headline is accurate, as it looks like all the non-FOX networks had the same number of viewers as normal. It's just that FOX brought in a lot of new viewers for the night.

Oops. It looks like the headline already changed from "Fox Takes Big Bite Out of ABC, CBS" to the new, more accurate one.

Well it looks like FLashforward is a hug hit. ABC has a true tour de france on there hands. Only old people watch Survivor now. Once Fox is dune with that baseball reality show, no one will kno they do show s. Vampyre Diarreahs is a great sho for the Holloween week. It’s a big hit. Did NBC even have anything on last night? They shol d just give up. Gray’s Anatimmy was great wonce again. It’s always better than thos boring CBS crime shows.

Last night's ratings prove why NBC put such faith in Jay Leno. He is rolling over the competition. I think The Mentalist on CBS has run its course, despite what the street teamers may want to tell you. It's time to dump that dead weight and move on to something more substantial that may win the timeslot, such as "Joanie Loves Chachi 2", or the like.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Fox's ratings will slump back to earth once the World Series is over, and there will be nothing to look forward to until the dying American Idol begins again in January.

What I notice about last night's numbers is that the 8 pm hour shows were barely affected by baseball, suggesting that the World Series draws in an entirely different audience, one that normally wouldn't watch what's on in that hour anyway, and 17 million viewers is a lot of people who don't watch what's on Thursdays at 8 pm. Oh, okay, maybe an additional 10 million if you allow for the 7 million or so who tune in to Bones, which wasn't on. But the 9 pm hour shows look like a bit of a ratings bite was taken out of them, yet there was no increase in the game's numbers but a decrease of 200,000. Finally, the 10 pm shows performed about the same too, maybe a tad on the under side, but then the game itself was off by another 100,000 viewers as well. So, it seems that for last night at least, baseball had no real impact on the regular fare on the other networks as it tends to draw in viewers that normally wouldn't watch the network shows anyway.

Rena,

I disagree with what you said about NBC...Their comedies fare well, but Jay Leno is suffering in the 10pm slot. 4.4 million is embarrasing for NBC.

The Mentalist is highly popular and only in its second season, I think it has yet to peak.

Your comments lead me to believe that you advocate NBC and dismiss all other programming.

I do agree that American Idol is on the decline, but with the introduction of Ellen DeGeneris, we'll have to wait and see if her presence affects the ratings as such. They are contracted I believe through 2011. Furthermore, that show is just a money-making tool so Fox will keep it going as long as it can.

Other notes:
8pm numbers were solid.

is it my opinion, or has the CW seldom seen ratings above 4 million (Vampire Diaries)...it's almost like the new generation Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

9pm: CSI and Grays remained strong as well against the World Series

Are you trying to make Rena Moretti look like a moron? I'm pretty sure that the real Rena wouldn't say that the Jay Leno is crushing Private Practice and the Mentalist. Jay Leno being in fourth place in the timeslot is not "rolling over" the competition

Once gain, I didn't write the previous post (which this time sadly wasn't a re-run, but complete and utter nonsense :( )

@EDell:

You are right. It looks like baseball really just drew from viewers that usually avoid the networks on Thursday.

I have been pointing out a few times that at this point, the pool of people not watching the networks at all at any given time is so huge that network competition is a secondary consideration in attracting viewers.

The Mentalist actually beat CSI in ratings and equaled it in viewers and does look like it will be Thursday's #1 show when all is said and done.

NBC's comedy lineup did as poorly as ever. Apparently, there is a limit to how many shows NBC can sustain by pure PR hype on Thursday.

Now someone explain to me again why NBC canceled Trauma but is keeping Parks and Recreations, Community and 30Rock in production...

NBC needs a complete overhaul but Jeff Zucker's team still play to pretend everything's OK and not to win. :(

At ABC, FlashForward keeps disappointing.

Weird Al Yankovic — Fat lyrics
Send "Fat" Ringtone to your Cell
Translation in progress. Please wait...

Your butt is wide, well mine is too
Just watch your mouth or I'll sit on you
The word is out, better treat me right
'Cause I'm the king of cellulite
Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right

My zippers bust, my buckles break
I'm too much man for you to take
The pavement cracks when I fall down
I've got more chins than chinatown

Well, I've never used a phone booth
And I've never seen my toes
When I'm goin' to the movies
I take up seven rows

Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on "sha mone"
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again

When I walk out to get my mail
It measures on the Richter scale
Down at the beach I'm a lucky man
I'm the only one who gets a tan
If I have one more pie ala mode
I'm gonna need my own ZIP code

When you're only having seconds
I'm having twenty-thirds
When I go to get my shoes shined
I gotta take their word

Because I'm fat, I'm fat, sha mone
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds
Lemme tell you once again who's fat

If you see me comin' your way
Better give me plenty space
If I tell you that I'm hungry
Then won't you feed my face

Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
Woo woo woo
(When I sit around the house
I really sit around the house)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know, you know, you know, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
And you know all by myself I'm a crowd
Lemme tell you once again

You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, you know, hoo
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud
Just tell me once again who's fat
