"Joey" much weaker in week two
Is NBC no longer "Must See TV" on Thursdays? "Friends" spin-off "Joey" fell from #1 to #8 in its second week, with the top spot in the Nielsen ratings going to a CBS rerun, "CSI," which also ran on Thursday, but not in the same timeslot. "Joey" was also beaten by "Will & Grace," which followed it on NBC.
The last week of the 2003-'04 TV season ended in typical form, with CBS back on top, pulling a 7.2 rating and 12 share. NBC was next at 6.6/11 (and, as usual, won the 18-49 demo), ABC 6.1/10, Fox 3.1/5, WB 2.4/4, UPN 1.9/3 and Pax 0.5/1.
