'X Factor,' 'Big Bang' top Thursday

Enrique Iglesias was guest judge on Thursday's 'The X Factor,' which nabbed 10.8 million audiences overall.''The X Factor'' appeared to get rid of some momentum after its preemption on Wednesday, however it still was large enough to lift Fox to victory Thursday evening among teenagers. ABC's dramas counseled me around the uptick as was CBS' ''Person of great interest,'' but NBC's newcomers were both lower.While Fox brought in grown ups 18-49 for any 4th straight Thursday to begin the growing season, CBS finished on the top in grown ups 25-54 and total audiences, based on preliminary national estimations from Nielsen.''The X Factor'' averaged a 3.6 rating/10 be part of grown ups 18-49 and 10.8 million audiences overall from eight to ten p.m. , lower about 10% week to week and it is cheapest-ranked evening up to now it in all probability lost some audiences because of its preemption on Wednesday for any late-running baseball game. After finishing second to CBS' ''The Large Bang Theory'' in Thursday's opening two half-hrs, ''X Factor'' brought at 9 o'clock in each and every category except women 25-54 (''Grey's Anatomy'') and total audiences (''Person of Interest'').At CBS, ''The Large Bang Theory'' continued to be potent starting off the evening (4.4/14 in 18-49, 13.3 million audiences overall), on componen with a week ago and again standing as Thursday's No. 1 enter in 18-49, 25-54 (5.5/15) in addition to total audiences. A repeat of ''Big Bang'' then increased the net's fortunes at 8:30 p.m. (3.7/10 in 18-49, 12. million audiences overall), rising nearly 50% above last week's delivery for that since-drawn ''How to become a Gentleman'' and supplying a more powerful lead-set for first-year drama ''Person of Interest'' (2.7/7 in 18-49, 11.9 million audiences overall), that was up a tick week to week. At 10, ''The Mentalist'' (2.5/7 in 18-49, 12.3 million audiences overall) was again no. 1 broadcast enter in an hour or so that MTV's ''Jersey Shore'' continues to be ruling in 18-49.At ABC, ''Charlie's Angels'' remains a modest artist but was up slightly in the 4th outing (1.3/4 in 18-49, 6. million audiences overall). ''Grey's Anatomy'' (3.4/9 in 18-49, 9.7 million audiences overall) rallied from the firstrun Thursday low of a week ago to complete within 1 share of ''X Factor'' for that 18-49 lead. And also at 10, ''Private Practice'' (2.4/6 in 18-49, 6.7 million audiences overall) was more competitive because it acquired some week to week. (Observe that since ''Grey's'' broadcast until 10:02 p.m., its number is anticipated to increase within the excellent, while ''Private'' is anticipated to say no.)NBC's opening-hour comedies ''Community'' (1.7/5 in 18-49, 3.8 million audiences overall) and ''Parks and Recreation'' (2.1/6 in 18-49, 4. million audiences overall) were up a little week to week, while 9 p.m. anchor ''The Office'' (3.2/8 in 18-49, 6.a million audiences overall) held steady or was up slightly week to week in many groups, winning by 2 shares in grown ups 18-34. News wasn't of the same quality at 9:30 for that Peacock, as ''Whitney'' (2./5 in 18-49, 4.two million audiences overall) rejected 13% week to week because of its cheapest score up to now. Which lower rating at 9:30 did not help 10 p.m. drama ''Prime Suspect'' (1.3/3 in 18-49, 4.5 million audiences overall), which dipped to some 3 share the very first time.CW's top-ranked program, ''The Vampire Diaries'' (1.4/4 in 18-49, 2.8 million audiences overall) edged out ''Charlie's Angels'' in 18-49 and was up overall from a week ago, including grown ups 18-34 (1.6/5). At 9, ''The Secret Circle'' (.8/2 in 18-49, 1.8 million audiences overall) held steady in many groups while showing gains in key women demos.Preliminary 18-49 earnings for that evening: Fox, 3.6/10 CBS, 3.1/8 ABC, 2.4/6 NBC, 1.9/5 Univision, 1.4/4 CW, 1.1/3.As a whole audiences: CBS, 12.two million Fox, 10.8 million ABC, 7.5 million NBC, 4.5 million Univision, 3.two million CW, 2.3 million.
