CBS took control Monday with new episodes and never let go. It finished first on every night. It only came in second place two times during the week and that was in the 18-49 Demographic. That’s what cost them the sweep, but the odds of that happening were almost a million to one. What two shows did help their networks beat CBS for half of the night? That would be the finale of The Biggest Loser on Wednesday night for NBC, and the only strong show on FOX right now, House on Tuesday night. CBS pretty much had all new episodes compared to reruns for the other networks, which helped in its domination. As a result, there was a shake up at the top. Four CBS shows battled it out for #1. It was close but NCIS took the surprise win over some CSI shows and Criminal Minds. Things only look to get even more crazy as we jump into as we get closer to the new year…
