FOX actually invaded CBS’ territory and split up the Monday night win. That was a big surprise to me, since 24 put up its usually good numbers. Good, but not great. Still enough of the young people watched it to beat out CBS and its comedy lineup. So it was a closer race, but the end of the week for FOX stunk so much that CBS was still able to win again. Lets see if they can keep it going and not lose again for the rest of the season. Grey’s Anatomy put up its best ratings of the season with this past week’s episode. Still not even close to American Idol. House is sill going strong as FOX’s #2 show. Who would thought that two of the top three most-watched shows on TV belong to FOx? One other note here is the sorry ratings for Lost. This past week’s episode was the lowest rated new episode of that show. Stay tuned as we close out “Sweeps” month next week.
