Ratings Round-Up

All three CSI shows led in overall viewers last week.

On Monday, ABC won the night due to a two-hour episode of Dancing With the Stars. However, CSI: Miami won the 10:00pm timeslot with a 4.6 rating/12 share in the important 18-49 demographic. Overall, Miami had 14.9 million viewers, comparable to its premiere last week.

ABC also dominated Wednesday night due to the premiere of Pushing Daisies. The new show helped the network beat CBS in the 18-49 demographic with 4.2/11 to CBS's 3.4/9. CSI: New York won the 10:00pm timeslot and reclaimed the 18-49 demographic for the hour (3.9/10). The show got 12.69 viewers overall, which is similar to what the premiere episode earned. The viewing numbers are significantly lower than those for New York's lead-in, Criminal Minds, which brought in 14.56 million viewers (making it the most-watched program of the night) for Mandy Patinkin's final episode.

On Thursday night, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation claimed the top spot in the 9:00pm hour with 20.81 million viewers. It was down several million from the premiere, but the numbers were enough to make it the most-watched show of the night. Grey's Anatomy reclaimed the 25-54 demographic, which CSI won last week, and the gap between the two shows in the vital 18-49 demographic widened from week to week (with Grey's getting 7.4/18 to CSI's 6.3/16).
