This week’s ratings provide solid evidence that the franchise remains America’s favorite.

First up for the week was CSI:Miami, which proved the new NBC series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip isn’t close to competing with the most watched crime drama in the world. CSI:Miami won by a considerable margin of 11.5/19 to 7.5/12. Trailing way behind was ABC’s Men in Trees which scored a 2.9/5.

On Wednesday, CSI:New York posted impressive numbers, handily beating a 20/20 special interview with Terri Irwin, widow of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, by a margin of 10.4/17 to 8.8/15. NBC’s Kidnapped struggled again with a 4.4/7.

Perhaps the most-hyped face-off of the season is CSI versus Grey’s Anatomy. While Grey’s won the adult 18-49 demographic by a narrow margin of 14.9/22 to 14.1/21, CSI won total viewers with 23.49 million to 23.31 million.

LOL. I'm sorry. I haven't been able to figure out how they could just ignore the fact that although CSI won total viewers, they lost the demo which is what really matters. I still watch this show and I still love it -although probably not as much as I used to-, but can they just, for once, face the reality and stop lying to themselves?
 
What I don't get is that people are proclaiming CSI in trouble or dead and Grey's having a major victory despite the fact the ratings (in both the 18-39 demo and overall) are so close that no one truly "won".
 
CSI is by no means dead, or even really in trouble, but Grey's did take a noticeable chunk of their viewership. The figures have already evened out to a tie, though, and it could be that CSI will pull ahead in the coming weeks.
