George Clooney Just What ER's Doctors Ordered

How Much Is George Clooney Worth? About 2 million viewers. That's how many more people tuned in to last night's ER, featuring Clooney (and Julianna Margulies and Noah Wyle and Eriq La Salle and Susan Sarandon and…), compared to the previous week. The retiring show still got beat at 10 p.m. by Eleventh Hour, 10.7 million viewers to 11.8 million, per preliminary Nielsen estimates. It did, however, rule among nostalgia-tripping young adults.
Other Winners: A diagnostic Grey's Anatomy (13.5 million) was the top show in the 18-49 demo. CSI (17 million) was nearly 4 million viewers lighter than last week but still Thursday's most-watched show. Survivor: Tocantins (12.9 million) was more demographically hip than a downsized Office (7.5 million). Ugly Betty (7.2 million) showed some spunk. Smallville (3.7 million) was back—and up over its season average.
Off Nights: Compared to last week, 30 Rock (6.4 million) and Hell's Kitchen (7.8 million) were down. Compared to its season average, Bones (9.6 million) was down. Compared to the numbers it put up during the Grey's Anatomy crossover episodes, Private Practice (9.1 million) was mortal again.
Etc.: Airing its first new episode in more than a month, Supernatural (2.8 million) held steady with its season average.
