While the Office puts in a decent half hour once a week, CSI puts in twice that on Thursdays so CBS can sell its “slightly” higher demo for twice as long.

Furthermore, while The Peacock tries to toss in a few “extended” Office hours throughout the season, CSI has franchised 2 additional hours each week which also rake in the bucks.

While there is no denying that the 18-49s are the most important advertising, total eyes aren’t chopped liver. The Office would have to get like a 20 in the demo to match the CSIs each week.

A hollow victory, indeed.

Think of it this way, even though CSI had MORE THAN 100% more viewers overall (116% more viewers, if you want to get technical) in the 18-49 demographic, which really, really is important no matter how much Les Moonves wishes it wasn’t. 14% of all 18-49 year olds watching TV were tuned into CSI and 12% of all of them were tuned into The Office, to make the 18-49 spread so very close with 116% less viewers is pretty HUGE.

Said another way, although The Office trailed CSI in total viewers by 116%, it only trailed in the demo by 18.8%. It’s not just huge, but amazing really.

ABC is obviously trying very hard to find an audience for this show and I hope it does…but I’m not holding my breath.

Meanwhile NBC fans are again getting desperate if they see The Office as a “huge” success while finishing 3rd overall and 2nd in the demo to a true hit in CSI. For NBC, demos are enough to cheer for their only prime time success.

Up against return of established ER and WOT… really not bad numbers. Bad slot.

This Sunday should be the breakthrough with a NEW Eathquake ep following a NEW ep of the Teri Hatcher Show (DWH).

Looking for Eli to go forward (and seeing that ABC is giving it it’s No.1 hit as a lead-in) makes me think it will be back as one of those sleeper hits that really comes into its own in season 2.

It’s already there for me

For some unknown reason, people switched off 30 Rock (the best of the 4 NBC sitcoms, in my opinion, now that Scrubs is winding down) in droves (to do what, he asked?), and…

Eli Stone held an amazing 96% of the DesHW rerun lead-in (with a so-so episode – against two established dramas) which bodes well when it switches to following the NEW DHWs starting this Sunday.

NBC must be scratching their heads (happen to know they like 30 Rock best of the four).

And ABC is really trying to give Eli it’s best chance to renew because it looks like multiple Emmy nominations if it continues on.

Another night of not knowing which way is up for me.
