Numbers of Interest - Television Ratings for Wednesday 11/18/09

CBS won the night with The New Adventures of Old Christine (2.2), Garry Unmarried (2.4),Criminal Minds (3.7), and CSI: NY (3.2) which took a  fall from the crossover last week. Criminals Minds increased .3 from last week.

Fox came was very close to ABC with the strong combination of SYTYCD (2.1), and Glee (3.3).

ABC recovered from last time it had new comedy episodes with a Modern Family repeat (1.9), The Middle (2.4), Modern Family (3.7), Cougar Town (3.2), and In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Janet Jackson (2.3). The Modern Family repeat gave a huge boost to The Middle which was struggling with Hank giving it a bad lead-in. This is good news for the show since it proved it can survive if it has a better lead-in. Modern Family is now consistently outperforming Cougar Town which shouldn't come as a surprise.

NBC lagged behind with Mercy (2.0), Law & Order: SVU (2.6), and The Jay Leno Show (1.4). Mercy improved .3 from last week, but its numbers are still fluctuating, so I really don't know what to say. One week it's way down and looks to be dead, and the next week it is way up.
