Amazing how more manageable competition can result in more viewers.
With ABC replacing "Grey's Anatomy" with "Private Practice" and CBS airing a rerun of "CSI," the Fox series "Fringe" had its best week since the beginning of the season, earning a 4.2 rating/6 share, according to Fast National ratings from The Nielsen Co.
That was more than 13 percent better than its Nov. 19 airing, and a 35 percent improvement since its series low of 3.1/5 to kick off sweeps on Nov. 5. The numbers were a little more than 10 percent off its season premiere on Sept. 17 and 10 percent better than its average of 3.8/6 this season.
All that came despite "Bones" being flat from its previous airing with a 6.2/10. "Fringe" is still losing a considerable amount of its lead-in audience, but a 32 percent erosion this week was far better than the 40 percent lead-in loss from the previous week.
The news on a quiet post-sweeps Thursday wasn't so good for "FlashForward." The final episode to air before March of the ABC series earned just a 4.6/7, according to Zap2it, reaching a series low. That's 11.5 percent off last week and 22 percent off its average pace this season of a 5.9/9.
It was by far ABC's lowest-rated show of the night, with two hours of "Private Practice" averaging a 6.5/11.
Neither show, however, will end up at the bottom of the network genre heap. That honor belongs to "Heroes," which earned a 3.5/5 on Monday for NBC, bouncing back 13 percent from its series low set the week of Thanksgiving.
"FlashForward" finished third in its timeslot Thursday behind "Survivor: Samoa" on CBS and "Bones" while "Fringe" finished fourth in its slot behind a rerun of "CSI," "Private Practice" and the comedy block of "The Office" and "30 Rock" on NBC. However, the comedies finished just slightly ahead of "Fringe" for the third slot ahead of reruns on The CW. grey's anatomy dvd
