In the prime Thursday at 10 p.m. slot, the veteran procedural starring Simon Baker is averaging 12 million total viewers and a 2.4 demo rating in its fourth season. A recent time-slot trial on Friday night, where it notched 11.8 million viewers and a 2.0 in the demo, was down nearly 30 percent in the later but up double digits in the time slot previously occupied by A Gifted Man, which had completed its run.
Lance Staedler/CBSAs the networks trot out high-profile new series — Dennis Quaid‘s TV debut! Connie Britton sings! Ryan Murphy‘s gay comedy! Mindy Kaling‘s a doctor! A young Carrie Bradshaw! — several returning entries are moving from their place on the schedule to clear the way for the freshman class of the 2012-13 TV season.
