The Office Wins Night of Reruns (By, Um, Airing Most Reruns)

NBC comedy manages decent rating for one of two repeats; CBS' CSI dominates nearly all-old Thursday night

Thursday TV's Big Winners: Does quantity count? 'Cause NBC's The Office and 30 Rock aired two repeats each, the most of any series on a night of repeats. Hooray!

Actually, Size Counts, Especially to CBS: The network's CSI (12.6 million viewers, per Nielsen estimates) was, by far, the most watched rerun among total viewers and the 18-49 crowd. NBC's first offering of an old Office (4.9 million) did OK, too, tying CBS' Eleventh Hour (10.1 million) for the night's second-best rating in the demo.

Guess What Grandpa Was Watching? The return of CBS' Regis Philbin-hosted game show Million Dollar Password (8.3 million) killed in the adults 50-plus demo.

Guess What the AARP-Ineligible Weren't Watching? Password got killed in the 18-49 demo, running third in the 8 p.m. hour behind Fox's all-new Secret Millionaire (6.4 million viewers overall) and NBC's all-old comedy block of My Name Is Earl (4.7 million) and Kath & Kim (3.8 million).

Does Anything Repeat Worse Than Grey's Anatomy? Actually, yes. Private Practice (4.4 million) and Ugly Betty (4.6 million) both managed to make their fellow ABC show (5.5 million) look successful by comparison.
