323054
-Ratings Breakdown: Mirroring all summer, CBS led Thursday care of Big Brother 8 (4.4 rating/9 share), a repeat of CSI (6.5/12), and a repeat of Without a Trace (#1: 6.9/12). All three shows ranked first in the overnights in every half-hour. As for Big Brother 8 (which I have not seen yet due to the late start on the East Coast), apparently evicted contestant Amber made some very controversial comments that CBS did not televise.

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.

-Ratings Breakdown:  NBC inched past CBS in the overnights on this final Wednesday of December, with a mere 5.6 rating/10 share from 8-11 p.m. Third overall was Fox, followed by a barely visible ABC and lowly the CW, which has not benefited by absurd reality/competition Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants. If you have not seen Crowned yet, check it out. You'll get a good laugh.

I have no idea what television shows are on what night anymore. I have a vague idea that CSI is on Thursday, but that's a stretch. My world is a TiVo world, and I suspect it's going to get that way for everyone.
