After weeks of scripted repeats, The CW’s Thursday line-up returned and was status quo, as was CBS’ programming. On NBC, Perfect Couples and Outsourced were the only originals and continue to get pounded. It’s unlikely that either will be back next season.

On FOX, American Idol was down a bit and Bones was up — though last week’s Mobbed did better. ABC was all repeats.
