'CSI: Miami' Helps CBS Achieve Monday Night Ratings Triumph

CSI Files

Captain
CSI: Miami helped take CBS to an easy win in the overnight ratings for Monday of this week. The network won every half-hour of Monday prime time programming, finishing nearly four ratings points ahead of its competitors.

With 11.3 overnight ratings and a 19 share - an improvement over lead-in show Still Standing, which managed a 9.9/15 - the episode "Double Cap" improved significantly on the numbers earned by last week's rerun, "Entrance Wound", which received an 8.8 rating combined with a 13 share.

CSI:Crime Scene Investigation remains the most watched show in the U.S., bringing in final ratings of 17.4/26 for its most recent new episode, "Crash and Burn". CSI:Miami received 12.9/21 total ratings for its last new episode, "Dispo Day", and the total ratings for "Double Cap" are likely to rise substantially once viewers are counted outside the metered markets used to calculate overnight ratings.

NBC's Crossing Jordan, the nearest competitor to CSI: Miami, finished with a 7.0/12 overnight rating. Though CBS had the highest-rated show last week and was #1 overall among viewers, in the highly coveted 18-49 bracket, the network continues to lag behind leader NBC.
