ABC ranked fourth over all, trailing with âOctober Roadâ (4.4 million) at 10 p.m. behind NBCâs âMediumâ (8.5 million) and CBSâs âCSI: Miamiâ repeat (9.6 million). CBS finished second for the night behind NBC, but third among adults 18 to 49, behind NBC and Fox, which got a boost in that demographic from the finale of âPrison Breakâ at 8 (7.4 million) and âTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesâ at 9 (8.1 million). On Sunday NBCâs âKnight Riderâ (12.7 million) drew the highest ratings in the 18-to-49 age group for a made-for-television movie on any network in almost three years.
