KNIGHT RIDER - WORLD SERIES GAME ONE WINS FOR FOX

WORLD SERIES GAME ONE WINS FOR FOX

A close and exciting Game One of the World Series averaged 13.91 million viewers in primetime Wednesday night, but although the figure was higher than many analysts had predicted, it was well off the 16.90 million who tuned in to the first game of last year's Series. The contest between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays -- won by the Phillies 3-2 -- gave Fox a close win for the night. (It's pregame show drew 11.57 million viewers.) Nevertheless, CBS's Criminal Minds outscored the game with 14.71 million viewers, as did CBS's CSI NY, which drew 14.24 million.  NBC's woes continued, with Knight Rider placing third in its time slot with 7.23 million viewers, while Deal or No Deal landed in fourth place with 7.60 million. Lipstick Jungle also remained in fourth place with just 4.19 million viewers.
