Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, February 7, 2008 February 8, 2008

The season premiere of the next edition of Survivor (Micronesia) propelled CBS to first place on the evening among households and viewers. ABC, however, drew the most viewers in the key A18-49 demographic, thanks to another strong performance by Lost, which again led the night among households, viewers and adults 18-49.

On the new series front, the news wasn’t as good. ABC’s Eli Stone fell nearly 2 million viewers and 16% among viewers and 10% among adults 18-49. Though the show still drew a first place finish in the hour among adults 18-49, overcoming the series premiere of NBC’s Lipstick Jungle.

Which brings us to that show. I know it’s just the first week, but you can basically call the shows performance a flop. It slid from its lead-in by 12% among both adults 18-49 and viewers (-1.04 million) settling for last place on the hour.

Not a good start for the new NBC series, and a poor performance by Eli Stone, which continues to drop significantly in its second-half hour (numbers will drop even further when finals are released since Lost ran 5 minutes into the 10:00 p.m. hour).

However, I’ve always maintained that week three is the key of a new show, so let’s see what happens next week for Eli Stone and the week after for Lipstick Jungle, before truly declaring them dead.
