CBS ended ABC’s Thursday primetime winning streak in the 18-49 demo,
posting a narrow victory on a sluggish night for the Alphabet net.
Though
it was the top-rated program for the evening in 18-49, ABC’s Grey’s
Anatomy (5.0 rating/13 share, 14 million viewers overall) hit an
all-time low in audience for a first-run episode, according to
preliminary nationals from Nielsen. Because of the effect of an NFL
broadcast on the CW, the numbers were subject to revision.
