'Big Bang' tops first Thursday of sweeps
Fox wins night among 18-49 viewers
By JON WEISMAN
The May sweeps opened Thursday with CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" the
top-rated show among viewers 18-49 but with Fox scoring a primetime
victory among the networks.
According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, "Big Bang" (4.0
rating/13 share in 18-49, 12.5 million viewers overall) was tops at 8
p.m. and demonstrably stronger than a year ago, when it posted a
3.3/10 in the demo.
"American Idol" (3.9/12, 14.4 million), on the other hand, has dropped
dramatically from where it was last year at this time (5.7/17),
through it remains the night's top program among total viewers.
Fox in fact won the hour over CBS, which had "Rules of Engagement"
(2.5/7, 8.3 million) at 8:30 p.m. NBC was third in 18-49 with
"Community" (1.4/4, 3.3 million) and a live-on-both-coasts episode of
"30 Rock" (1.6/5, 3.5 million), followed by ABC's "Missing" (1.3/4,
6.9 million) and the CW's "The Vampire Diaries" (1.0/3, 2.2 million).
ABC surged to the top at 9 p.m. with "Grey's Anatomy" (3.2/8, 9.3
million), which topped CBS' "Person of Interest" (2.4/6, 12.5 million)
in the demo if not total viewers. Thanks to "Touch" (1.9/5, 6.5
million), Fox was nearly even at 9 p.m. with NBC, which aired "The
Office" (2.1/6, 4.1 million) and "Parks and Recreation" (1.6/4, 3.2
million). The CW offered "The Secret Circle" (0.5/1, 1.2 million).
At 10 p.m., CBS' "The Mentalist" (2.1/6, 11.9 million) and ABC's
"Scandal" (2.1/6, 7.0 million) were even in the demo at 10 p.m., with
NBC's "Awake" (0.8/2, 2.2 million) trailing.
Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: Fox 2.9/8, CBS 2.6/7, ABC
2.2/6, NBC 1.4/4, CW 0.8/2.
In total viewers: CBS 11.6 million, Fox 10.5 million, ABC 7.7 million,
NBC 3.1 million, CW 1.7 million.

start with the month and end at the end of that month. And if they
weren't going to do that, presumably because they want exact tidy weeks,
then it would make more sense to start at the first Sunday of that month
and end with the Saturday four weeks later.

that's how they get named. And the broadcast week starts on Monday, not
Sunday like a calendar week.
