Members Andre Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 Wow. I'm so impressed it didn't surprise you. You're so great. Man, I wish I could be so sure and awesome about knowing stuff as you are. Thanks, Oh Knowledgeable One from Upon High, for letting me know it should not have surprised me.

Members Adam Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 I am to be honest a bit shocked Grey's was able to beat CSI on the first go. I thought they would put a dent in CSI and maybe if they kept up the solid writing that they had last season would be able to over take it. This is big news. CSI only had 22 millon viewers. Over the last 2-3 years they have averaged close to 30 million but TV ratings really don't start climbing until a few weeks in anyways. It will be interesting to see if Grey's continues to rise. CSI has been losing the buzz factor for a while now..... maybe this will cause CSI to step it up because I don't know about the rest of you but I was very disappointed with last season. Also to add, Friends I believe was the #1 scripted show before CSI officially took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 CSI will improve. It has stand alone episodes, unlike Grey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think the fact that CSI has stand alone episodes work against it in this case. If you miss a week of Grey's Anatomy you're missing MAJOR plot points. You can easily miss a couple weeks of CSI and fall back into the show. I'm sure this is what viewers think when making the choice between the two shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 22, 2006 Author Administrator Share Posted September 22, 2006 CSI got 29 million viewers for last seasons's premiere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 The two shows don't differ much in terms of total viewers. I think once the hype dies down, CSI could very well win back its territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 22, 2006 Author Administrator Share Posted September 22, 2006 Rick, do you know what was the last scripted tv show to be #1? It very well could, but GA beating CSI proves that the show will no longer be dominating its competition anymore. It's a 2 horse race now which makes Thursday nights a lot more interesting.

Members DaysForever Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 I completely agree. CSI only had 3 million viewers less than Grey's. It's still a powerhouse. House will not even get close to CSI in the ratings this season until American Idol returns. Did you see the ratings House got on Tuesday? I'm just saying that Grey's' ratings win over CSI on Thursday will probably only be a one-time thing... IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joshua Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 "The Office" beat "Earl"!? Is that a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 On top of the three million below Grey's, it lost about another three from last seasons premiere. Grey's ratings are rising, CSI is declining, I'd definitely say that it's looking like Grey will maintain it's lead over CSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 Can someone do a little Office Season 1, 2, 3 ratings comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish that Earl and The Office would inch up more..these are two of the best comedies on primetime tv now...WATCH these shows people..

Members BadZoe Posted September 22, 2006 Members Share Posted September 22, 2006 Too bad you stopped the second half and not the first half. The second half had Catherine getting drugged and raped and waking up in a seedy motel room. They also had an interesting new murder where the guy is dead and on the kitchen counter is an exact replica of the murder scene in miniature.
