Thursday TV Ratings: Private Practice huge, Fringe in danger of cancellation?

Private Practice soared week to week, up 40% in the ratings, largely due to it’s rape/recovery storyline that began this week. Grey’s Anatomy was also up this week.

Fringe and Bones returned after several weeks from Baseball hiatus, and both returned sharply down. Fringe should be on cancellation watch.

NBC and CBS were typical of Thursday nights; The Big Bang Theory was the night’s most watched show.
