On a night in which Foxâs Super Bowl coverage won a resounding victory in the ratings, ABC, CBS and NBC struggled to attract even meager audiences during prime time. CBS fared best, finishing a very distant runner-up thanks in part to the strength of â60 Minutes,â which drew 5 million viewers at 8 p.m., according to Nielsenâs estimate. This veteran news magazine followed a news special on the National Guard at 7 p.m., âCBS Reportsâ (3.3 million), while repeats of CBSâs âSharkâ and âCold Caseâ attracted 4.2 million and 6.1 million viewers, respectively, at 9 and 10 p.m. ABC, in third place for the night, outpaced CBS in the important demographic of adults 18 to 49, getting a boost later in the night from the 2004 movie with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, âMeet the Fockers,â which averaged 4.1 million viewers from 9 to 11. NBC ranked fourth over all with four repeat hours of âThe Biggest Loser,â which averaged 2.3 million viewers.
