"Grey's Anatomy" beat out "CSI" in Thursday's ratings, but the rest of CBS' lineup was strong enough to give the Eye a ratings win for the night.

CBS averaged a 10.2 rating/16 share in primetime to top ABC's 9.5/15 (CBS had about 1.7 million more viewers as well). Airing a full night of repeats, NBC was a distant third at 3.6/6. FOX's 2.9/4 was good for fourth, edging The CW's 2.5/4.

ABC, however, won the adults 18-49 demographic with a 5.3 rating. CBS took second with a 4.6. NBC, 2.7, came in third, and FOX and The CW tied for fourth at 1.7.

A "CSI: Miami" rerun, 8.0/13, put CBS on top at 8 p.m. ABC got a 6.8/11 from a repeat of "Ugly Betty," while NBC was third with encores of "My Name Is Earl," 5.3/8, and "The Office," 4.8/7. "'Til Death" and "The War at Home" were fourth for FOX, edging out "Smallville," 2.9/4, on The CW.

"Grey's Anatomy," 14.0/21, won the 9 p.m. hour for ABC and was the night's most-watched show. "CSI" was close behind, drawing a 13.1/19 for CBS. NBC held onto third with repeats of "Scrubs" and "30 Rock," averaging a mere 2.9/4. "The O.C.," 2.5/4, kept FOX ahead of The CW and "Supernatural."

CBS regained the lead at 10 p.m. as a "Shark" repeat earned a 9.3/16. ABC's "Men in Trees" posted a 7.7/13, while an hour of "The Office" came in at 2.9/5 for NBC.
