The only people that are gone are Caan, Cox and Marsha Thomasson.

The core group of the show is still intact with Duhamel, Sims, Lesure and Marcel. Selleck hasn't really added much, but he still has a solid presence.

Selleck has a presence, but that’s about it. I think they were more worried about getting a star that is recognizable by many and NBC probably thought the rating would’ve gone up a bit, cause of Selleck.

Sure, most of the main cast is still intact, but with the most important actor of the main cast gone, it’s definitely become bland. Like it or not, Caan pretty much was the good part of the show, the rest of the cast were pretty much props/eye candy with storylines.

Anyone know if the CW shows were reruns because those are some hefty drops...

According to TitanTV they were all new episodes.

Stupid LA Times didn't publish all figures again. I will have to use todays Variety to fill in the blanks on my spreadsheet. Idiots!

Chris

Still amazing how much NCIS has grown and now (IIRC) is a consistent top 5 show, even beating out House.

It's grown significantly since Sasha Alexander left and now with Don Bellisario out as showrunner. I think it's a good procedural that doesn't take itself too seriously which probably appeals to a large audience.

This will probably be the last update until Monday, so Happy Thanksgiving all!

Guess it was a good idea for CBS to air that filler episode of "CSI" on Thanksgiving. Why waste a perfectly good one when the numbers wouldn't have been much better.

Just to get an idea of the ratings on Thanksgiving, "CSI" was down 31.3% and "Grey's Anatomy" was down 27.8% and "Ugly Betty" by 29.8%.

Looking at these figures, it would not surprise me at all if Criminal Minds eventually overtakes CSI as the most watched program on CBS. The show seems to be on a roll right now and the 2-part episode was excellent.

I was surprised that both CBS and ABC elected to put on new episodes on Thanksgiving Thursday night.

IDK. Could happen, but I can't see it getting to 18-20m viewers. If anything, NCIS might be able to do it as its averaging 17m viewers now. But then again, both (IIRC) have to contend with American Idol in January. I know AI airs at 8 on Tuesday does it air at 9 on Wednesdays or at 8? (after the auditions)

Can't speak for Grey's or Betty but it was probably a good thing CBS tossed out last night's episode of CSI since, even though I kind of liked it, it wasn't a strong episode... at all.

Confused about October Road...Preview meaning the "real" season Premeire is on Monday (which is just going to be a repeat of last nights episode, right)?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, I was surprised about that too. But if one station was going to do it, then the other would have too.

That's really great news for Kid Nation, it almost came in first in both areas!

# - Change from “The Bachelor” to “October Road”

Well, at least Journeyman is now beating October Road for #2 in the timeslot.

That's not saying much... :p

That's interesting about Samantha Who. It moves to the 9 pm slot right up against the start of Heroes and loses more than 18% of their audience.

I think the drop is largely because its comedy competition on CBS is now Two and a Half Men and not Rules of Engagement.

That's what I think too.

But both Two and a Half Men and Heroes benefited from DWTS not being on that extra half hour.

Is it just me or are the Simpsons and Family Guy numbers up substantially this season?
