ABC's ratings momentum from its Wednesday night comedy block gathered strength last night when the Disney network crushed NBC's Comedy Night Done Right. Although Grey's Anatomy lost 10% of its audience from last season's premiere, it still easily scored the night's highest rating. Grey's lead-in FlashForward premiered with a respectable 12+ million viewers. CBS finished second last night, even though its CSI premiere suffered a dramatic 44% loss of its audience from last season. Despite NBC's new episodes of The Office and Community, The Peacock finished fourth. Complete ratings after the jump.
For those of you keeping score, The Jay Leno Show lost 1.4 million of its viewers from Wednesday night.
