Ratings: CSI vs ... Part 2

CSI was in second place for the week in ratings, first place for viewers and is the #1 show on TV for the season for the third straight week.
 
Guesses for tonight: will people be turned off by another personal moment, or will they tune in for character drama?

The case looks really intriguing, though.

I'm going to say 20 million. Optimitic of me, but I'll throw caution to the wind and go wild. lol.
 
I'm voting 20 million, and hoping we'll still beat Grey's Anatomy. I like how you put 30 + million on there... VERY optimistic, and highly unlikely... But still. :D

It was hard, though, choosing between 19 and 20 million. People ARE getting tired of GSR, and I think it would have been better for CBS to at least NOT include the proposal in the promo, and instead focus on the case. Some people still like surprises in the show... :/

Oh well. Best wishes for tonight!
 
i think that cbs promo might turn off people who don't like the GSR stuff....its a shame they did that, since the cases look very interesting

Lets see if there is another ratings drop for the 4th week in a row...

Awesome...thanks for the news! I thought there was a range of variety in the show, and the GSR promo wasn't the only promo that was aired. Plus, regardless if you like GSR or not...I think all fans are ready for the GSR story line to be concluded. So I think the proposal wasn't that bad of an idea. Just my thoughts. All in all...bringing in Catherine's history such as her mom I think helped bring in the ratings too. It seems the writers are trying to close up some lose ends...and that grabs people's attention.

I'm thrilled to see we beat Grey's anatomy yet again! Go CSI!!!!
 
So, the 8th season and #1, 4 weeks straight.. rock and roll :D incredible.. so the show keeps on keeping on.. thank's Sarah ;)
 
It's great news for CSI...I can't help but wonder if CBS really plans on getting rid of CSI after this season. Heck it's still on the top...it's almost stupid to pull it now.
 
CSI rose to a 12.9 rating in households, making it the #1 show of the week so far.

awesome! didn't i tell you they'll get 21 or even more than that? *is superproud*

i love these numbers, i love how we're beating Grey's everytime now. this is the power of CSI: it's an old show and when some new ones arrive to compete, it looses the beginning battles only to win the war at the end.

it looks like people are getting bored with Grey's already. let me be clear, how many doctor shows have there been throughout the years? a whole lot. Grey's had this new interesting formula, pretty actors and all that, that was new and intruiguing to the viewer. but now? i think the 4th season of same people sleeping with everybody, is becoming dull.

CSI on the other hand is testing new waters with some personal storylines, they showed a completely amazing season last year, they are about to do at least one crossover, there is lots of drama we haven't seen before, and the cases are great week to week. sure there are gazillion other crime shows, but CSI was first and they were precursors of many things that other shows try to mimic.

so IMO CSI does everything right to keep their normal viewers interested, while Grey's' scheme is starting to burn out. i hope our show won't loose it's spark after Jorja leaves.
 
Although I haven't been too happy with how we've been going during season 8 (so far... but I stil have faith) for the most part, I am also very proud of CSI for how well we've been doing.

Last year things were starting to look a little bleak for CSI... but now we're back on top. So the numbers aren't our highest, but as long as we're beating Grey's Anatomy... Hehe, I'm all good with it.
