CSI does get the larger rating, but Survivor wins the 8pm hour, by a good margin and WAT tied for the top spot last week.

Noticed that after last week's show. Discussed it with friends and they noticed the same. To be honest, I like it better because of that.

Seldom watch CM, but I wouldn't
be surprised if it held up. I thought
if any of the CBS crime shows could
survive the loss of # 1, this was it.
The entertainment value of this show
appears to be wrapped up in the type
of crimes, the dark and intense tone,
and this inside baseball profiler
approach the show has. In a few
year 2 eps I watched, I did not feel
MP was dominant.

True but ANTM has grown in both viewers and demos where GG really hasn't. That was the reason for placing it in the "loser" column. It's wasting it's lead in. 2.87 is the initial number. When the final numbers come in, it will be closer to the 2.75 final of a week before.

Sorry, but that still doesn't look that impressive. Especially when you factor in the fact that ANTM has been treading strong in the same demos GG is looking for. At best, you can say it stabilized in the upper 2 million range and low to mid 1 demo. Not exactly a break out.

Just a little comparison and food for thought:

Week   Total   18-49
1      3.50    1.6/4    
2      2.48    1.1/3
3      2.75    1.2/3
4      2.87    1.3/3

But still three consecutive weeks of growth in total viewers and among adults 18-49...better than nothing.

You do know that the last set of DVR numbers that came out had Survivor at #1, right?

CSI also wouldn't be in huge trouble if Petersen would leave. Not the same goes for CSI Miami, CSI NY or Shark

Not sure what that will mean( if anything) for the overall ratings however that has to account for some of the ratings drop.

My reply from the other thread:
This looks like a very deceptive comment on their part. I would bet that most of the 'timeshifting' is being done by people watching the program an hour or 2 later (they might even be counting people that start a program 20 minutes late in order to avoid the commercials as they watch it 'live'). So, most of this 'timeshifting' is still being counted by the overnight ratings.
