CBS - EVEN WITH ALL-RERUNS, CBS WINS

EVEN WITH ALL-RERUNS, CBS WINS

Although it aired a virtually uninterrupted schedule of reruns last week, CBS remained the most-watched network overall. But NBC, the lowest-rated network during the regular season, rose to second place, thanks in large measure to America's Got Talent -- the No. 1 show of the week -- and the Concert for Princess Diana special. Fox also scored strongly with two editions of So You Think You Can Dance and its game show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. ABC, however, was left out in the cold, placing only one show in Nielsen's top 20 -- Wednesday night's unscripted The Next Best Thing, at No. 18. (The finale of Univision's Spanish-language La Fea Mas Bella ranked higher, coming in at No. 15.) In overall ratings for the week, CBS led with an average 4.6 rating and a 9 share; NBC placed second with a 3.7/7. Fox followed with a 3.5/6, while ABC trailed with a 3.0/6.

The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:
1. America's Got Talent, NBC, 7.2/13; 2. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CBS, 6.6/11; 3. CSI: Miami, CBS, 6.2/11; 4. So You Think You Can Dance (Wednesday), Fox, 6.0/10; 4. Two and a Half Men, CBS, 6.0/10; 6. Law and Order: SVU, NBC, 5.9/10; 6. Concert for Diana, NBC, 5.9/11; 6. So You Think You Can Dance (Thursday), Fox, 5.9/10; 9. NCIS, CBS, 5.8/11; 10. CSI: NY, CBS, 5.7/10; 10. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, Fox, 5.7/11.
