Raymond battles back

The frequent syndicated ratings battle for 2nd place was won by "Everybody Loves Raymond" this time around, bumping "Oprah" back the 3rd after a tie for 2nd the previous week, as reported by the Syndicated Network Television Association (SNTA), based on data from Nielsen Media Research. You could say that "Wheel of Fortune" is the "American Idol" of the syndicated world - pretty much always guaranteed to come in #1.
