‘CSI’ Franchise Scores Ratings Victory This Week

This week’s ratings provide solid evidence that the franchise remains America’s favorite.

First up for the week was CSI:Miami, which proved the new NBC series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip isn’t close to competing with the most watched crime drama in the world. CSI:Miami won by a considerable margin of 11.5/19 to 7.5/12. Trailing way behind was ABC’s Men in Trees which scored a 2.9/5.

On Wednesday, CSI:New York posted impressive numbers, handily beating a 20/20 special interview with Terri Irwin, widow of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, by a margin of 10.4/17 to 8.8/15. NBC’s Kidnapped struggled again with a 4.4/7.

Perhaps the most-hyped face-off of the season is CSI versus Grey’s Anatomy. While Grey’s won the adult 18-49 demographic by a narrow margin of 14.9/22 to 14.1/21, CSI won total viewers with 23.49 million to 23.31 million.
