At 9, The Office jumped slightly to a 4.2 rating and 8.5 million viewers – the leading demo numbers for the night. 30 Rock posted a season high in A18-49 with a 3.2 rating.
FOX was just beaten out into fourth with Bones, which posted season highs in both the key 18-49 demo (3.1 rating) and viewers (10.5 million) Fringe fell slightly from last weeks 2.5 to a 2.3 A18-49 rating – still above their season average though.
