Preliminary Ratings: Thursday 08/14/14

CBS swept the Thursday night ratings, winning two of the three hours and had the #1 program of the night.  BIG BROTHER drew 6.4 million viewers and a 2.2 rating in Adults 18-49, down slightly from last week's numbers. but, they could rebound once final numbers are released this evening.

LAST COMIC STANDING jumped 40% over last week ratings, as the two hour season finale helped pump up the interest. It was the only 10 p.m. program to register a demo rating over a 1.0.

ABC's all original line up is still nothing better than a third place line up. ROOKIE BLUE is the only series to have semi-respectable numbers. THE QUEST is a bit of a joke, still being on the air.
