Cruising through a sea of post-May sweeps reruns and reality competitions, ABC's two-hour season finale of Grey's Anatomy easily dominated Thursday's prime-time Nielsens.
Grey's reeled in 299,579 D-FW homes while also delivering a command performance among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds.
Fox's season premiere of So You Think You Dance, whose second hour went against Grey's, managed to partner up with 114,473 homes. (The show's Dallas auditions will be showcased next week after Fox4 got information indicating that they'd be spotlighted Thursday.)
NBC's two-hour relaunch of Last Comic Standing wobbled with an opening night crowd of 97,424 homes.
In the local news derby, WFAA8 again flexed at 10 p.m., winning in both total homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 had a clear-cut win at 6 a.m. in total homes, but narrowly lost the 25-to-54 battle to WFAA8.
The 5 p.m. golds went to Fox4 in both ratings measurements. WFAA8 then rebounded to win across the board at 6 p.m.
