Thursday Ratings: 'Charlie's Angels' modest, 'X Factor' steady, Bad News for NBC | EW.com »

Premiere week is almost at an end and the numbers from TV’s biggest night do not disappoint, unless you’re a fan of NBC’s best comedies.

Big Bang Theory came out on top with 14.4 million viewers and a 4.9 rating, which gave CBS’ new JJ Abrams drama Person of Interest 13.2 million and a 3.1.

X Factor fans didn’t go anywhere as its 12.1 million and 4.1 rating held steady.

ABC’s Charlie’s Angels reboot wasn’t a smash but still managed 8.7 million viewers and a 2.1 before giving way to Grey’s which returned to 10.3 million and a 4.1 - down 24% from last year but tied with X Factor.

Fans of NBC’s comedies aren’t going to be pleased. Community went out to 4 million viewers with a 1.7, which is down 23%, while Parks and Rec was only seen by 4.1 mil and a 2.0, dropping 38%. The Office fell 11% to 7.6 million and Whitney held on to a surprising amount of those viewers to the tune of 6.7 million and a 3.2 rating (still down 11% from Outsourced though). 

Prime Suspect then followed it all up by premiering to 6 million and 1.8 - NBC’s lowest Thursday fall premiere ever.

    so more people tuned into a rehash of a show that had 5 seasons and a movie than a fresh, innovative comedy…I see.

    ugh. I hate numbers.
  26. kslittlejohn said: I think that’s slightly due to the massive amount of young people who watch NBC comedies. Most of us watch it online, on hulu, the next day. It sucks that doesn’t amount for their ratings b/c I watch all NBC comedies religiously.

  28. imwithkanye said: I’m not worried. The fans for NBC comedies are rabid and consume the program on DVR, Tivo and Hulu. Let’s wait til the other numbers come out. This is more evidence the modern viewer doesn’t sit down for primetime anymore. I mean I was out drinking!
