The return of "Grey's Anatomy" after a brief absence revived ABC's ratings fortunes Thursday and led the network to a win for the night.

ABC's lead among adults 18-49 was wider -- it scored a 5.2 rating in the key ad demographic, while second-place CBS drew a 3.6. NBC, 3.1, was third, followed by FOX, 2.5, and The CW, 1.6.
"Survivor: Fiji" won the 8 p.m. hour for CBS with an 8.1/13. ABC's "Ugly Betty" took second at 6.7/11, one of its lowest numbers of the season. "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader?" put FOX in third. "My Name Is Earl," 4.6/7, and a rerun of "The Office," 4.0/7, were fourth for NBC. The CW got a 2.5/4 from "Smallville."
At 9 p.m., "Grey's Anatomy" drew the night's biggest audience with a 13.7/21. CBS fell one spot to second with a "CSI" repeat, 8.1/13. From there came a steep drop to third-place NBC, which went with "30 Rock," 3.3/5, and "Scrubs," 3.5/5. FOX's "Trading Spouses" came in fourth at 3.1/5, a point better than "Supernatural" on The CW.
