The usual suspects topped the list, “America Idol” on Fox and “Dancing with the Stars” on ABC. And the NCAA men’s basketball championship game did well for CBS, although it was the Eye net’s second most watched show, behind “NCIS.” But looking down the list, we noted that only one NBC show made it into the top 20 for Household ratings. That was the premiere of “Southland” at #20.
In HH it was CBS with an average rating of 7.0 and a 12 share, followed by Fox 5.4/9, ABC 4.9/8, NBC 4.0/7, Univision 1.9/3, CW 1.1/2, MyNetworkTV 0.9/2, Telemundo 0.5/1, Ion 0.4/1, TeleFutura 0.3/1 and Azteca America 0.1/0.
Fro the key 18-49 demo, it was Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC, Univision, CW, MyNetworkTV, Telemundo, TeleFutura and a tie by Azteca America and Ion.
Here are the week’s top 20 shows.
