THURSDAY'S RATINGS RISE -- BUT NOT MUCH

THURSDAY'S RATINGS RISE -- BUT NOT MUCH

Thursday night saw a slew of season finales and therefore an uptick in overall ratings for the night, which have fallen steadily since the writers' strike. Nevertheless, they remained well below their levels of a year ago. ABC's Ugly Betty may have won the 8:00 p.m. hour, but its total audience of 8.47 million was down by more than 2 million from the same week a year ago, CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation won the 9:00 hour with 17.73 million viewers, but even that number was down by 2.72 m illion from last year. The worst drop was recorded by ABC's Grey's Anatomy, which dropped to 15.18 million from 22.57 million a year ago.
