LOS ANGELES - An estimated 14 million viewers watched the triumphs of HBO's "The Sopranos" and "Angels in America" on the Emmy Awards Sunday night on ABC - an alarmingly low number for what is supposed to be television's big night.    If those preliminary Nielsen Media Research numbers hold up, that would represent the smallest audience for the Emmys since 12.3 million saw it in 1990 on Fox - at the time a new network that many people weren't used to seeking out...

NBCâs remake of âAmerican Gladiatorsâ muscled to a strong start on Sunday. The amateur athletic tournament, based on the early 1990s series, delivered the highest ratings among adults 18 to 49 of any new show this season on any network, matching the debut of âHeroesâ in September 2006, Nielsen estimated. In total viewers, however, âAmerican Gladiatorsâ was less impressive, drawing an average of 12 million from 9 to 11 p.m. ABCâs âCashmere Mafia,â by comparison, which made its debut on Sunday at 10 p.m., attracted 10.7 million viewers but markedly lower ratings in the 18-to-49 set. âCashmere Mafiaâ also benefited from a plum time slot following ABCâs âDesperate Housewivesâ (19.8 million), the only show to outpace âAmerican Gladiatorsâ on the night among adults 18 to 49. ABC, NBC and CBS finished in a virtual tie for first in that demographic over all on Sunday. CBS, buoyed by an overrun of its afternoon football coverage during the 7 p.m. hour that was followed by one of the highest rated editions of â60 Minutesâ in recent years (19 million), won the race in total viewers.

Much as it pains me, I cannot vote against Sports Illustrated&#39;s pick of the Boston Red Sox as Sportsmen of the Year. Similarly, I cannot say that in any other year since 1918 Michael Phelps, or perhaps Lance Armstrong, was not a worthy choice.
