�Grey�s Anatomy� (9:00-10:02 p.m.)

Thursday�s No. 1 TV program, ABC's season premiere of �Grey's Anatomy� dominated its new time period, beating CBS' �C.S.I.� by 2.8 million viewers (25.4 million vs. 22.6 million) and by 43% in Adults 18-49 (11.0/26 vs. 7.7/18). �Grey's� advantage over �C.S.I.� in Adults 18-34 stood at an enormous 88% (10.7/28 vs. 5.7/15). �Grey's Anatomy� became the first non-finale of any series to beat an original �C.S.I.� in 2-1/2 years among Adults 18-49 - since 4/1/04. Furthermore, it�s the first scripted non-finale series ever to draw a larger audience than �C.S.I.� in original Thursday head-to-head competition.

�Six Degrees� (10:02-11:00 p.m.)

Up against CBS' well promoted series debut of �Shark� and NBC's season opener for time period veteran �ER,� the series debut of �Six Degrees� delivered ABC's best non-sports performance in the hour in over 3 years in both Total Viewers (12.6 million) and Adults 18-49 (5.4/15) � since 4/17/03 & 2/6/03, respectively.

� The retention of �Six Degrees� coming out of �Grey's� in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49 (50% in Total Viewers/49% in Adults 18-49) was nearly identical to the retention that CBS saw in the same time period with the series debut of �Without a Trace� (53% in Total Viewers/50% in Adults 18-49 on 9/26/02). �Without a Trace� went on to become a key program for CBS, now entering it fifth season and currently being used by CBS to build up Sunday night.
