Fantastic ratings for CSI! Amazing that in it's eighth season it can still get such huge numbers. I'm also wondering how this compares with it's previous ratings.

12. Private Practice 14,406,000

Expect this one to drop hard.
The pilot was bad, the first episode was awful

Neil said...

great addition to your blogs david....i find it hard sumtimes to keep up with the US ratings system...most sites seem more intent on using percentages and share numbers rather than overall audience numbers

do you think you could possibly add what network screens each show....for example put
1. CSI 25,220,000 - CBS
could be useful...up2 u

I agree. Great addition to the site. Thanks very much.

Interesting info - thanks David. I am glad to see that Survivor China is still up there.

joshi said...

wow! csi had all of australia and new zealand watching it

Phil said...

Awesome addition for the site. I didn't know that Brothers & Sisters was that popular in the US. Good to CSI on top, but I would've preferred for Grey's Anatomy or Heroes to be top show of the week. Good news for Private Practice fairing so well.

THanks so much for putting this info on your blog David, its great!!! I am so happy Bro and Sis is still doing well in the USA. Great show. I watched Bionic Women last night and it was great. Reminded me of Alias and i loved that show too. Cant wait to see next weeks results too. Thanks again.

Its quite strange to see shows that don't rate here, do quite well in America such as Two and Half Men and Extreme Makeover.

I wonder where Prison Break is in the ratings???

Its a personal favorite of mine and even though one of the ratings week goes to 19 instead of 20, I believe its one of the best on tv - but that's me! At least Heroes is in the top 20 and Bionic Woman bumped off in the 2nd week - not interested in a re-invented version of a show I watched as a kid!
