This week made one thing clear. Everyone watches reruns on CBS, if they watch reruns at all. However, if they want to watch Christmas specials, they turn away from CBS in LARGE numbers. They suck at specials, which pretty much cost them this week as they dropped to LAST place on Friday night with their Christmas special. NBC was able to win this week thanks to their reality TV shows, of course. But really the numbers were down all week due to Christmas. A win is a win, though. As for the top show of the week. That EASILY goes to Deal or No Deal. It was basically the only “top” show that had a new episode. So that’s easy enough. It will be interesting to see what happens this week in the middle of a crazy holiday season…
