Grey's Anatomy helped ABC ascend to second position in primetime last night, Nielsen overnight data reveals. <\/p>\n
Season eight of the medical drama continued with 9.7m and a rating of 3.2 18-49 adults at 9pm, a rise of 10% week-on-week. <\/p>\n
On a roll, political thriller Scandal climbed to 7.4m (2.1) in the 10pm hour. Only 8pm's Missing (7.1m\/1.3) lost viewers for the Alphabet Network. <\/p>\n
American Idol's 14.6m (3.9) was easily enough for Fox to win another Thursday night. <\/p>\n
CBS finished third despite airing only one new show, with Rules of Engagement amusing 7.7m (2.2) at 8.30pm. <\/p>\n
NBC had a poor night, as 8pm's Community (2.9m\/1.3) and 10pm's Awake (2.7m\/0.8) underperformed. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 30 Rock was the exception to the rule on the Peacock Network, creeping up to 3.2m (1.5) at 8.30pm. <\/p>\n
Swiftly returning for new episodes, The Vampire Diaries (2.2m\/1.0) and The Secret Circle (1.1m\/0.5) dipped over on The CW. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
