CSI: Miami began February sweeps as the top-ranked show for Monday night, leading CBS to a 31 percent advantage over second place NBC in the overnight ratings.

According to Mediaweek's Programming Insider, "Slow Burn" earned a 15.4 rating/23 share. This means that last night, approximately 15.4% of households in overnight markets were tuned to "Slow Burn", and 23% of households watching television at the time had CSI: Miami onscreen.

Last week, "Blood Moon" earned a 14.4 as FOX's American Idol took the top spot for the night, though CSI: Miami won its hour. My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance did not score as well for FOX, and NBC's Average Joe: Hawaii finished well behind in the 9 p.m. hour with an 8.0/12 overnight rating.

CBS, NBC and Fox were expected to finish in a close race among adults 18-49 once the fast affiliate ratings became available. ABC's airing of The Mummy Returns averaged only a 5.1/7 from 8-11 p.m.
