CSI takes back the mountaintop
"American Idol" is still strong, but without the Super Bowl, Fox had to be content with 2nd place in the weekly Nielsen ratings of the top TV programs. CBS' "CSI" moved back into the top spot. CBS also won the week overall, although Fox tied for the 18-49 demo. For the week, CBS averaged an 8.7 rating and 14 share, with NBC at 7.0/11, ABC 6.5/10, Fox 6.3/10, WB 2.4/4, UPN 2.2/3 and Pax 0.4/1.
