    Vampire Diaries is up with adults and women 18-34. Very impressive and it beat Parks and Recreation! Wow NBC is soo sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Lynn

    I think Jay Leno is officially a failure in his new show.

  3. j

    Vampire Diaries moves up to a 2.79 W18-34 average. Gossip is at 2.80. If Gossip is 2.7 next week, they’ll approximately tie for the season; any lower, and VD will be on top.

  4. Mumbo

    Why do I get the feeling Community and Parks are in competition with each other.

    I wonder how many more seasons CSI will stick around for. With the way it’s falling, at least I know it will end during my lifetime, I was starting to doubt it a few years ago.

  5. Alison

    Hooray! I knew The Mentalist could do it! It beat CSI AND is now neck and neck in the demo with Private Practice. As you can tell I am a big fan of the show (well actually Simon Baker – the man is a god!!)

  6. smg77

    I stopped watching CSI when Grissom left and it looks like I wasn’t the only one.

  7. the128boy

    Sad to see Parks down in finals. This marks 6 out of 7 weeks where it has had a 2.0 or 2.1 in finals.

    Community’s highest rating in its new slot.

    I can’t wait until next season… I firmly believe The Office has a chance of passing Grey’s Anatomy sometime in 2010…

    Honestly, even at the end of last season, who would have thought the 3 titans would have shaken out like this?

    5.2 Grey’s Anatomy
    4.2 The Office
    3.4 CSI

    How long can it really be before CBS finally switches Mentalist and CSI?

  8. Likely that the last half hour of Vampire Diaries beat P&R in adults 18-49, but impossible to know for sure.

  9. Holly

    Not impossible. Travis posted the numbers over at pifeedback:

    The Vampire Diaries edged out Parks & Recreation at 8:30pm in A18-49

    P&R – 2.0/5
    VD – 2.1/5

  10. Marcos

    9pm timeslot would be healthy for Mentalist anywhere in the week but Thursday. It could take a big hit if it had to face Grey’s.

  11. The impossible becomes the possible! ;)

  12. the128boy

    Just realized that is the first time since its series premiere after The Office that Parks has dropped from its lead-in.

    I am already dreading May upfronts.

  13. I’d say that was the best Parks & Recreation yet.

  14. Jon

    CBS has one weapon up its sleeve in the form of the Super Bowl slot, it’s likely to go to either The Mentalist or The Big Bang Theory. It’s not going to go to NCIS as it’s established and wouldn’t benefit from such a lead in or NCIS LA as new shows rarely get the slot.

    CSI has got plenty of life in it, it’s too valuable for CBS to drop and the franchise rakes in money. I can see being move to 10pm though.

  15. Sarah

    And SPN has its best 18-34 numbers of the season!

  16. GSFABC

    A NCIS Repeat had more viewers than CSI, and the Demo nearly the same!

  17. So Cal

    Move the Mentalist to 9!

  18. billy

    wow vampire diaries is doing really good. Those are huge numbers for the CW

  19. Tar

    cool CW beat NBC 8:30 to 9

  20. Rob

    Jay Leno has killed NBC. Put this show out of its misery.
