Grey's Anatomy

My favorite television program would have to be Grey’s Anatomy. According to Nielson Media Research, America loves the show also. For the week of March 19th, 22,304,000 individuals tuned in. The rating was 14.4 and the share was 22.0. CSI: Las Vegas plays at the same time and day, Thursday at 9:00pm. CSI: Las Vegas is not even listed in the top ten television programs on Nielson’s top TV ratings for the week of March 19th.. However, this week (March 26th), CSI placed above Grey’s Anatomy with 10.6 rating/18 share. This information leads me to believe that whenever either Grey’s Anatomy or CSI is showing a re-run, the other show flourishes in its popularity for the night. If Grey’s Anatomy moved to a different night, I believe that the number of viewers would increase dramatically, and the rating will thus increase. This would occur because it would not be in competition with CSI: Las Vegas for primetime television on Thursday nights. However, because both CBS and ABC have popular television programs lined up for every night of the week, there would still be competition between Grey’s Anatomy and whatever was on the other channel.
