Ceuf - Hannibal

Before SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, before RED DRAGON, Hannibal Lecter was a brilliant psychiatrist in the employ of the FBI. His task: to help an unusually gifted criminal profiler, Will Graham, who is haunted by his ability to see into the minds of serial killers. From the imaginative mind of Bryan Fuller (HEROES, PUSHING DAISIES), and the artful direction of David Slade (THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT), comes a series exploring the early relationship of Thomas Harris’ famous characters. This stylized thriller tells an origin story of masterful manipulation.

With The Big Bang Theory back from a two-week break, CBS topped Thursday among adults 18-49 and total viewers. The comedy was up a tenth of a point for a 4.9 rating in the key demo.

After several new lows for American Idol (2.8 adults), the results show was even with last week. The stronger-than-typical lead did little for special Thursday outings of New Girl (2.0 adults) and The Mindy Project (1.4 adults). New Girl was down two tenths of a point from its last Tuesday original with Mindy up a tenth from just the other day. It marked Fox’s second flirtation with half-hours in the block after back-to-back Raising Hopes aired in the slot last week. The network averaged a 2.3 rating with adults 18-49 and 7.7 million viewers.

Celebrity Wife Swap (1.2 adults) was off two tenths of a point from last week on ABC. Grey’s Anatomy (2.7 adults) was also down by two tenths, while Scandal (2.7 adults) improved by a tenth of a point. The trio averaged out to a 2.2 adults rating on ABC and 6.9 million viewers.

NBC launched a slightly retooled block on Thursday, though the 8 p.m. hour was business as usual. Community (1.0 adults) was down a tenth from its last original, while Parks and Recreation (1.5 adults) returned from its break shy a tenth as well. The Office (1.7 adults) was down two tenths of a point, while Go On (1.1 adults) took a steep drop without The Voice lead from its last Tuesday original (1.9 adults). The premiere of Hannibal pulled a 1.6 adults rating at 10 p.m. That’s up seventh tenths of a point from January’s dismal debut of Do No Harm (0.9) and year-long time slot best for scripted programming in the time slot -- but not particularly strong. The network averaged a 1.4 rating with adults 18-49 and 3.3 million viewers.

The CW aired repeats of The Vampire Diaries and Beauty and the Beast, averaging a 0.3 rating with 18-49-ers and 955,000 viewers.
