Numbers of Interest - Television Ratings for Thursday 01/07/10

ABC blew away the competition with the BCS Championship Game between Alabama and Texas (9.5 including pregame. Colt McCoy may have gotten hurt, but Texas kept the game reasonably close and the ratings were huge.

CBS was second with CSI (2.0, 2.3) and The Mentalist (2.3).

NBC was next with Community (1.7), Parks & Recreation (1.3), The Office (1.7), 30 Rock (1.7), and The Jay Leno Show (1.4). Even though it appeared Jay Leno was moving back to 11:30, nobody was interested, and less people watched.

Fox was last with Bones (1.8) and Fringe (1.1). Fringe continues to perform poorly and loses many from the lead-in. There is a new episode this Monday going up against Heroes, so we'll see how it goes.
