Highlights:

• AMERICAN IDOL and BIG BANG THEORY grabbing tops in the demo rating.
• THE MENTALIST nearly doubling the next closest program, at 10pm.

Low-Lights:

• GRIMM, even for a repeat, 1.85 million viewers for a major network is just horrible.
• THE OFFICE at under 5 million viewers and a 2.3 demo rating... It is time to close the Scranton branch in May.
