the "actuals" are actually released 2 days after every day. In this case it just happens that 2 days after Sunday = Tuesday and thats when the week has been completed with accurate data.
The top shows of the week were
1. CSI [29.0m] 17.3/26
2. Desperate Housewives [28.4m] 17.3/25
3. Lost [23.5m] 13.8/20
4. Criminal Minds [19.6m]
5. CSI: Miami [19.2m]
6. Grey's Anatomy [19.0m]
7. Survivor [17.0m]
8. Law & Order SVU [16.8m]
9. Invasion [16.5m]
10. 60 Minutes [16.4m]
Worrying
18. E.R - [14.4m] Its widely know that E.R is easily one of if not the most expensive shows on network television; right now a sophmore Medical show is outrating it by over 4.6 Million viewers. Even House is closing in on it.
The sitcom looks about dead to me. Not one half-hour comedy ranked in the top ten? Between the dying traditional sitcom, and the struggling non-traditional, single-camera comedy series (I believe My Name is Earl is one of the few to get such good ratings), comedy just doesn't seem to be big anymore.
As for ER, I'm glad. I just wish the top medical show was the far more deserving House and not Grey's Anatomy.
As far as the top two goes, CSI has it in the bag again, unless the Housewives somehow get more viewers throughout the season. If the Housewives were going to beat CSI in any week with original episodes, the premiere week was what I expected. It came close, but close is not enough.
