Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy
Well I'm not particularly disappointed by those numbers.
Thank you so much for posting them, btw.
But yeah - they're SO damned close, and I think CSI is a little more impressive considering that Grey's got awards this week (should've boosted ratings), they got HUGE publicity because of TR and Isaiah, and they did a To Be Continued at the end of their last episode.
CSI really didn't pull any tricks, in fact it did something that they knew would damage ratings - they sent off their lead (and arguably most popular) character for four weeks.
So I'm far from disappointed. I believe Miss Dee and I are currently sharing the honors for the poll, so maybe we should wait for final numbers to make the difference, as they can shift by sometimes up to about 800,000 viewers.
