Adults 18-49:
#1 FOX (7.6)
#2 NBC (3.9)
#3 CBS (2.7)

#5 CW (0.9)
Monday’s Top Shows:
BCS Championship, FOX
Dance War, ABC
American Gladiators, NBC
Deal or No Deal, NBC
Two and a Half Men(R), CBS
Medium, NBC
My Thoughts: FOX wins the night thanks to the LSU-Ohio St. matchup, but NBC wins points for consistency. Meanwhile, ABC was probably disappointed with Dance War numbers, and October Road continues to attract little attention…

#2 CBS (5.5)
#3 FOX (5.4)
#4 ABC (3.0)

#5 ABC (1.3)
Tuesday’s Top Shows:
NCIS(R), CBS
One Tree Hill, CW
The Biggest Loser, NBC
House(R), FOX
Law & Order: SVU, NBC
My Thoughts: NBC thrives early in the week, with SVU earning the evening’s highest ratings. ABC obviously misses Dancing With the Stars, and the CW gets a very rare boost from One Tree Hill…
Wednesday (1/9/08)
Overall:
#1 NBC (7.4)
#2 CBS (6.8)
#3 ABC (5.1)

#4 FOX (1.4)
#5 CW (0.9)
Wednesday’s Top Shows:
Deal or No Deal, NBC
Criminal Minds, CBS
Law & Order, NBC
CSI: NY, CBS
My Thoughts: NBC and CBS dueled it out Wednesday, with Deal or No Deal and Criminal Minds attracting the most viewers. ABC’s high hopes for Cashmere Mafia are quickly (and happily) fading.
And while Gossip Girl is improving creatively, it still has nothing more than a cult following…
Thursday (1/10/08)
Overall:

#5 CW (0.8)
Thursday’s Top Shows:
Ugly Betty, ABC
CSI, CBS
Grey’s Anatomy, ABC
Without a Trace, CBS
My Thoughts: Seems like a return to normalcy, as CBS and ABC heavyweights rule. And, as expected – Celebrity Apprentice‘s ratings take a tumble. Hey, Donald: “You’re fired!”
Friday (1/11/08)

Friday’s Top Shows:
Ghost Whisperer, CBS
Moonlight, CBS
Numb3rs, CBS
My Thoughts: A clean sweep in all time-slots for CBS, while ABC suffers through another bad night…
Sunday (1/13/08)
Overall:
#1 FOX (13.0)
#2 CBS (8.0)
#3 ABC (6.6)
#4 NBC (3.2)
#5 CW (0.7)
Adults 18-49:
#1 FOX (9.0)
#2 ABC (3.9)
#3 CBS (3.1)
#4 NBC (1.4)
#5 CW (0.4)
Sunday’s Top Shows:
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants, FOX
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, FOX
Comanche Moon, CBS
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, ABC
Brothers & Sisters, ABC
My Thoughts: The spill-over of the fourth quarter/down-to-the-wire game between the Cowboys and Giants, plus the Sarah Connor Chronicles debut – led FOX to a huge Sunday night victory. Expect them to ride this momentum right into the American Idol kickoff. CBS’s Comanche Moon strong ratings deserve honorable mention…
