Spotted Ratings, Thursday 3/8/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Week two of NBC's Awake took a typical-to-high 20% drop. It had a bit rougher go of it as The Mentalist returned to action in the hour (a big part of why the drop was steeper in overnights/total viewers). Parks and Recreation got knocked down in finals but still snapped its five-episode 1.7 streak and heads to hiatus on an up note.
  • American Idol dropped around 10% from last week's typically strong Thursday episode but was still up from its most recent one-hour episode. The Finder was also on the upswing in its Thursday finale.
  • The ACC country basketball preemptions didn't mean much as Person of Interest hit another new high. It wasn't Truly anything special, though, because its lead-in was so much bigger than usual. The Big Bang Theory's repeat was the second-biggest repeat for anything this season, trailing only Modern Family's Halloween encore and handily beating CBS' Rules of Engagement/Rob original average.
