Thursday’s network programming provided weak ratings across the board, with even solid performers shedding viewers. Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, minus the celeb bump it got from Katie Holmes last week, still pulled within spitting distance of CSI reruns, while ABC’s Shonda Rhimes repeat line-up fell behind NBC’s comedy reruns.

“celub bump from Katie Holmes”? I think the bump came from the fact that it was the 100th episode. Most of the loyal fans thought Katie’s performance was unimpressive.
where are the friday night ratings? i was wondering how “smallville” did its first night at friday even though it was a re-run…a very good re-run
